How did Joe miss THAT. Right up his alley.
Who the heck knows?
What cracks me up is that he recognized JT.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Oh, Allyson, wonderful.
They gave us an hour off today but since I took too long a lunch and went to the gym, I ended up staying until 5:15 anyway. Even though I could have left early and nobody would have noticed, because hello, Good Friday! Sheesh.
On the way home I read most of the second half of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which may be the Most Depressing Book Ever Written, Yes Really.
But now I can watch Primeval and squee about dinosaurs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got to leave a little over an hour early too. I think I may celebrate by going to sleep before it gets dark.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Grindhouse. I think I'm insane.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay, Allyson! What a great last day of work.
I think Grindhouse looks fun, ita. Not that I'm likely to see it in a theater, but you know.

So I've been of need of evening conversation all this week to keep from being totally whacko and just now called the brother. Who engaged me in a long philosophical discussion which devolved into middle names for the oncoming nephew and a faux-fight with his wife. (He's not keen on the first name chosen, but resigned.)
It was a good conversation. And I STILL think Esteban would be an awesome middle name, damnit (he agrees, she doesn't. Plus, the whole TEA initials.)
Also? My brother is the funnest dad. He brings D into work (partly to freak out the boss) and sets him up with acid/base experiments. Color changes! D can now use various pipettish tools better than most first year grad students. And he's 4!!!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
DH reported Grindhouse as fun, but not nearly as much fun as he expected. And he is a big fan of both Tarantino and Rodriguez.

Jill Sobule doing Hot in Herre.
This is how Nelly would have sounded if he were a folk artist in the 60s. And a girl. Complete with banjo, harmonica, tamborine, and other traditional hip-hop instruments.
And does anyone know what is with the "Herre" spelling? I hate to sound like the uncoolest square ever, but I always want to read that as, well, "Herr-eh," like the German Herr with an e at the end.

One of the streets in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago is Goethe Street. The hoity-toiity who live around there pronounce it "properly," but your average Chicagoan will normally say "Go-thee."

Not the bus-stop recorded announcer guy, though. He pronounces it right.
