If you’re not interested in the personal goings-on in our lives, this isn’t the category for you. Never know what you might learn, watch out!

Properly pudding-ing…

Aside

I don’t remember the context fully, but one thing stuck out.

First of all, we’re eating pudding in bed, which you shouldn’t do if you’re an adult.

You’re not the woman I married. Perhaps you’ve been replaced with some sort of animate husk, barely possessed of imagination or soul. I will undertake a mission straightaway to discover where it all went wrong and set things right. Sanity and good sense will be returned, and we shall once again eat pudding wherever and whenever we damn well please. Because we’re adults.

No, it doesn’t work like that…

Aside

At Insomnia Coffee working. Couple of ladies having a discussion about “teaching people to make more thoughtful and intelligent decisions”. This is promising! Except no, they’re talking about it in the context of a religious outreach program.

You skipped a step there ladies.

Later in the conversation they make fun of Germans because on of them has a BMW where the battery is in the trunk. A quick ‘net search tells me why that is. Temptation to jump in and educate people is rising…

Reclamation wish…

Aside

We’re sitting in Starbucks working on homework. Across from us two girls are pretending to write serious academic material on their laptops. (but they’re using bibles as their sources, so really it’s just all imaginary anyway. Not a lot of cognitive power going on here to begin with.)

Then this is overheard: “Well, there are multiple types of engineers, with varying levels of social interaction problems.”

I think I should reclaim their laptops on behalf of engineers everywhere. For great justice.
