Since I'm taking Dad out for Father's Day dinner tonight, I forgot to call yesterday until 10pm. Well, I remembered earlier, but got distracted after I couldn't find a working outlet close enough to a phone jack for my land line to work. Goodbye, just-bought refill minutes!
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I called my father at home, but no one answered, so I texted him Happy Father's Day instead. Shortly afterwards my sister texts me back to tell me they're in Ocho Rios and I need to call him on his cell or hers.
Ah, love technology. Means I got to speak to him just before they finished up at the Jazz Festival up there, so he definitely had a nice Father's Day.
My poor sister--I send a card and/or give a call for all birthdays and Parent days, but that's it. Sending gifts to Jamaica is expensive and a crapshoot. She, however, lives with them, so giftiness falls into her lap. She gets crazy and says things like "How about we send them on a cruise?" and I say thing like "Can't we buy her earrings?"

In the future we all have purple pageboys! Awesome!
I keep telling people that the girl with the purple pageboy is Nick Drake's sister, but nobody's impressed with this information.

I want the purple pageboy!
I think it would be smashing on me.
eta: I'm impressed that you know of Nick Drake's relatives, David.
Everytime you mention someone like that, I am reminded of my friend, Darryl Purpose, singing Singer-Songwriter Heaven...which features Nick Drake, Graham Parsons, Harry Chapin and others.
etaa: ack...evil code

Ha! Man, I just wish the right now wasn't as ripe for fashion mockery. For a hot second in the 80s I thought I was living at the one true sartorial time, where everyone else was mockable and we'd be right forever.
Then again, I was also 15. Not sure what the Dorcus people were smoking.

Jeebus, that guy has great legs.
Men! Go skirts...choose skirts.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I am vastly amused by the Dorcus memo:
“hire only men with large, hairy, developed legs, because in all probability they will be frequently chased by men wielding bats and clubs; models must be able to outrun their critics.”

Frankly, you need one. Then the silver jumpsuit.

I just spent the afternoon getting high and writing porn. Well, okay then!

While we're on the topic of freaky clothing: ick. Then again, I already dislike flipflops and am not a fan of fur.
That's just gotta tickle, and in the end? Not warm enough.
