And woohoo, someone called our realtor and asked for a showing of the house.
Monty: Whaddya mean she ain't my wife? Mal: She ain't your wife... cause she's married to me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks for the reminder - I just made a haircut appointment for next week! And it's on Friday which I like because they give you a discount on the color on Friday.
My day has been a weird cluster, but I think I've done what I can.

Also interesting: I don't feel like I'm making the best impression on my new boss, but he also keeps cancelling or pushing off our regular update meetings, so maybe he's not concerned? I can't tell.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Looks like this weekend will be pretty quiet here. GOOD.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In re the "dropped voice" ... back when I was a teenager (when dinosaurs roamed ghe earth), my then boyfriend (my first!) and I went out to dinner with my parents and some friends of theirs. They lived in New Canaan, Connecticut, and were, to put it politely, less than enlightened. At one point my boyfriend mentioned someone and said he was "a real hunk" ... which led to the woman tugging on my arm and stage-whispering "A hunk! Does he mean he's a HUNKIE?". I was able to say that, no, in our arcane teenage language it just meant he was good looking.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had never heard the word hunkie used as a slur before. Jeepers.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My rural 1970s upbringing was full of racial slurs, but I've never heard that one. I'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean. Black?

I was thinking it was a variation of "honky"

Did white people use that term? (Or maybe Todd's parents' friends weren't white?)
I'm realizing this is an area where I'm SUPER naive, so I'm going to stop making guesses.

I would guess from "bohunk."
