Also, Stupid fucking roommate that has left a considerable stake in your getting the deposit back considering he has not paid he rent.
Unfortunately, I think that it's more a case of stupid fucking roommate who no longer has any stake in your getting the deposit back considering he finagled people into not making him wait for it like the rest of you.
Yeah. I'm stupid. I should have never let him pull that shit.
Yeah. I'm stupid.
You are NOT stupid. Too nice, maybe, but not stupid.
Too nice, which in this case, is stupid.
Breakdown diverted. Or something. Victor and thessaly want the couch. YAY! Taking care of next Saturday. Breathing. Slightly.
Just back from Dinner Out, Night #2. This was the 52+26yo couple. Another embassy couple also, of which I know the husband but just met the wife tonight. She was the real revelation of the evening: She sounded
exactly like
Eddie Izzard. Sort of looked like him too, but wore less makeup. I kept expecting her to be funny.
New couple was nice and self-possessed and I liked them a lot. Restaurant was about $50/plate before drinks, but I wasn't paying. Mal spent the evening with his nanny, so I didn't have to apologize to any waiter for my child beaning him with a sippy cup.
Oh, the waiter? Bill Clinton and Michael Palin's love child.
((((vw)))) Breathe a little more.
Aimée, you want I should let you know the next time I hear about Cat-Stacking Guy and his friends doing an improv show? I know he lives...uh...somewhere LA-ish. He not only stacks cats, but he's one sick snarky painfully funny little bastard. You and Joe would probably like him much. Or possibly want to hit him with sticks. It's hard to say
JZ, just caught this. YES PLEASE!!
Belated $.02:
You know what helps? Having a going-away ritual.
Yes, this. Ours is "knock-knock" joke that goes:
Knock-knock
Who's there?
See-ya
See-ya who?
See-ya when I get back!
The bedtime version ends - See-ya in the morning!
DD added an enthusiastic "Ah-HOOO!" at the end that ends it with a smile.
We do this EVERY day when I leave for work or shopping or whatever, and every bedtime. Works great.
