Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die

[ahem.]

If anyone has a better suggestion for the title of this, the ninth random thread, I'm willing to change it. This was literally the first thing that came to mind.

I believe we may have named him that before your son was born, but I'm not sure. It was shortly after we got married. Maybe…. Oct or Nov 2008?

He was named after a Jingle Spells song, "Voldy Baby, the Floo Network is open tonight…"

I feel plagiaristic.

[Dragon Lady]

Don't you love it when you're unintentionally plagaristic/ized?

I need to send a thank you card to 3d's mom. I haven't sent a thank you card to anyone in years.

[Tao]

Not new on the bucketlist per se, but strongly reinforced: See Les Mis live.

Though I may need to save it till the bucket is near, as I may not ever clear my eyes...

Guys, I just ordered FIVE books for my sister to bring me when she visits at the end of this month. Five books of my very own choosing out of all of the books on Amazon. I have been deprived of book stores for far too long.

You know you need to get a life when you start thinking it might be fun to pre-wash your new bag of potatoes.

New lows...

I just discovered that there are very few cards that adequately express thanks for letting me stay at your house for thanksgiving even though your son is dating someone else.

[C is for]

If I were in that situation (I don't think I've ever been there), I would probably go for a blank one. Maybe one that says Thanks on the front in a nice autumnal theme.

You could always make them uncomfortable and get a "Thank You, My Mother" card. I daresay that would be adequate.

[Dragon Lady]

Well, did you used to date their son? Is there expectation that you should be dating their son? Or is the awkwardness all in your head and they were just happy to host the friend of their son?

[Unit of Energy]

most likely the latter. They were just happy that he found a ride home without them driving to Provo to get him. Then my car wouldn't start, so I ended up staying.

It seems to be a trend. Yesterday it was slightly profound, but its profundity has certainly diminished with time.

One Cafe Rio salad fed me for four meals.

I reported said bug. Twice. Hopefully it'll get taken care of.

I love Disneyland, but the crowds can make a perfectly sane person chlostrophobic. Ahhrgggghh. I am so happy to be back in my hotel room right now.

[Dead Cat]

Envious! What did you do besides feel claustrophobic? You probably should have rethought going around Christmas, but at least you didn't go Dec. 26--longest lines of my life.

[Tao]

I went in October (of 07 I think) and the lines were very manageable. then again, I think the people watching is every bit as entertaining as the rides, so my memories may be skewed.

[Marduk]

I hate Disneyland. But I'm sure everyone could've guessed that.

You, sir, suck joy out of the world.
