I just realized that taking my dad to the Indy races in two weeks as a birthday present, not happening. And I had found his old racing partner who has a shop near the track and was going to get them together again at the same time. As far as gifts he'd like, it was up there.
Universe is conspiring to keep me from the track. Two years ago all of Southern California was on fire and they cancelled the race. Last year I just totally didn't think about it in the midst of big huge depression. This year there is no way we can be gone 10-12 hours each day.
And I'm going to have to actually shop.
Guess what, humans! I broke down and got a damn cell phone!
Whee!
Amusingly? The only call that hasn't come through today was yours. (Spotty cell reception in the office. And by spotty, I mean generally none.)
I just found three text messages from Cashmere's cell in my email inbox.
Line's too long. I don't think I'm going to make it in. Grrr.
Wheee! I made it in.
I shouldn't have read the spoilers.
She's at the
Firefly
premiere.
Are there races this weekend, Cass?
And that IS amusing.
Nope. All of the open-wheel series are off for two weeks. Next up are F1 in Japan, Champ in Korea and Indy in Fontana (which is only a couple hours north of me! Yet still so far away.), only those stock car things are racing. In maybe Talladega.
And that IS amusing.
Just so you know, not a diss at all. I'm just amazed that all my calls today have come through except that one. It doesn't exist on my phone. So the vm was kinda like the virgin
birth message or something.
Well, you can still be the first person to deflow... call me.
Shorter trips = more likely to visit. IJS.
I am holding you to this if we move anywhere close to California.
Huh. So I go to work for a day, and suddenly, y'all are ALL ABOUT EATING FOOD FROM A TUBE!
Feh.
MY NEIGHBORS JUST CAUGHT A RAT IN THEIR APARTMENT. I WILL HAVE A STROKE AND DIE IF THERE IS EVER ONE IN OURS!
!!!!!!!!!
Back from the screening. Enjoyed it muchly. I'm spent.
And the baby kept hiccupping during the whole thing. Teeny little bumps in my belly.
And Owen was so good when I was pregnant watching the ENTIRE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY. This one's gonna be trouble, I can tell.
I have found that some of the most intimidatingly cool people I've ever gotten to know have turned out to be big dorks
Standing. Right. Here
Hah! OK, y'know, I would be all "well, technically, she runs a website for fannish folk. Which is pretty freakin' dorky". Except I still find ita intimidatingly cool, so...somehow, that doesn't work. (Also, as David said, coolly intimidating)
Alien babies are notoriously wily, and will go hide somewhere else, like behind the appendix
"The appendix, formerly thought to be a vestigal organ, now useless, is now known to be the secret hiding place of Evil Alien Babies..."
I would eat carrot cake in a tube. No questions asked.
Only if it came with cream cheese frosting.
