Did you hear I went on lesbian speed dating? It was craaaazy.

No, I didn't. Crazy in what way? Did anything come out of it?

one of the women was the new voice of the Metro system here ("Doors opening!")

Did everybody make her say those "Doors opening" lines over and over again, just because it was her and how strange it is to hear it in real life as opposed to the machine? She's probably so tired of this, but that's kind of impossible to resist, in a way.

Love the pictures of your apartment Tom.

I think the Kiss cards and an itunes certificate would be a grand present.

I can tell I am still very migrainey, because I don't want waffles.

Hee. Well, it was just when she'd been recently selected, so it was pretty funny. Crazy in that there were CRAZY people there. Like the woman who told me she liked science fiction (hey, I'm into that!) and then admitted the only science fiction she read was the Star Trek books....and she's "80 behind". Um. Or the woman who told me "I'm a writer" and when I asked what kind said "I'm a poet. I hate saying that. I should just say I"m a librarian". WTF? Etc. Etc.

I did end up going out on a date again with one of them...who turned out to be ex military (not a problem)...who supported both the war, and Bush. Um. NSM. Plus she kept harping about her own weight and how she needed to lose it. Which, sure, but it's not like I hadn't met her before and already agreed to go out with her again. At which point, I obviously am at least vaguely OK with how she looks...

For the nephew, a book about hockey or wrestling?

A book about wrestling might work.

Is Robin around?

Well, at least you got some stories from it, right?

The worst-recent-blind-date I was on included a guy who pretty much insulted me, the way I live my life, and then expected me to change all that just because he told me to. Fun.

Good grief, that's ridiculous! I'm sorry. At least I just had fun silly stories!

I'm having very good luck meeting women who....live very far away. Sigh.

My father liked making waffles till he figured it out, but once he got them perfect, they were not challenging anymore so no more waffles. Yeah, I've eaten my share of frozen ones...not the same. But pleasant enough.

Going outside was a stupid plan.

Oh, that's classy. What's wrong with people??

I really don't want to go outside, but I really have to do laundry. I think I can wait until early evening.
