I wish I could convey in text how hilarious it was when my friend imitated his dad's expression and the tone of his "NOOOOO!" Which, of course, startled the parrot awake.

I was telling the story to Lewis earlier and he said the only thing that would've made it better is if the parrot had hopped up and squawked, "Gotcha!"

And then, no doubt, got onto the net to Twitter about it.

I get to go pick up the brother in about half an hour. He IM'd me to borrow hair product just before his plane took off. Heh. Technology.

Love the pic of your nephew Allyson. Isaac has that suit too and I love to see him wear it.

See, this is like the Missouri (?) race where the dead guy beat John Ashcroft. We all thought it was funny, until Bushie appointed Ashcroft to be AG, when it stopped being funny.

Yeah, and then later remember how it was funny odd, not funny ha ha, when Ashcroft turn out to be the hero on the side of ethics and principles during that macabre story about Gonzales hassling him when he was lying in the ICU.

But I think for me the enduring image of Ashcroft will always be him singing "like the eagle soars...."

Thank you for that earworm, not!

IOmemeN: Someone at work told me that DD was jealous that my costume on Monday of last week was better than his. (yes, he is that petty and competitive) He ended up not really dressing for the rest of the week becuase I "outdid" him. I, on the other hand, dressed up every day.

Sorry quester, but it's so happy!

Oy. Just got an email from the professor I'm TAing for this semester. She seemed to assume that I would figure out that she covered a particular section last Monday based on the fact that she didn't email me to tell me she finished it. I give up on trying to understand this logic.

I'm watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They seem to be putting in a whole lot of fragile and/or pointy things for a family with three little kids, one with mobility issues. At least it's better than the dead person room they always do whenever the family has recently lost someone.

Agreed. However, it has made me ridiculously happy that something that simple made him miserable, and that it really bugged him for the rest of the week. He even said something along the lines of my not being "totally historically accurate" when someone mentioned my costume to him on Monday.
