Inane Banter

Leave it to Adam to always one up me in the banter department:


Adam
Hey there,

So what did you think of the Star Wars movie? I just
saw it this past weekend. I won't spoil anything, on
the off chance you haven't seen it yet. I will say
that it turns out that Anakin Skywalker is the same
dude as Darth Vader. WHO KNEW?

--A.

Me
Hey Adam,

I'm a little confused. You know at the end of the movie where Padme is
giving birth? Obe Wan Kenobe grabs the child, shows it to Padme and
she calls him Luke. Then she calls the second one Leah. Now, in the
first three movies, there's a brother/sister duo named Luke and Leah.
Are these the same people? I'm not sure.

I did like the movie a fair bit, but I'm still looking forward to
Batman more. I think I'll skip Herbie: Fully Loaded. That's just too
much excitement for one summer.

Speaking of excitement, is your visitation offer open? I may take you
up on that this fall.

Anyway, enjoy and say hi to Susan for me.

Pat

Adam
Pat,

You are of course always welcome at our little abode.
Just let me know when you're thinking of visiting.

I must've seen a different version of the movies from
you: in the one I saw, Padme gives birth to twins, but
they're both boys, and she names them "Bo and Luke."
The next Episode is to show their adventures in their
small orange spaceship called the "General Lee,"
getting into good ol' fashioned trouble and always
coming out one step ahead of Sheriff Boba Fett.
Loveable but cantankerous Uncle Owen to co-star.

--A.

Ah, L'Amour!

A simple link.

Good and Bad

I don't think I'm capable of beautifully written, coherent paragraphs this afternoon, so I though I'd do some snippets of good and bad.

Frank
Bad: My brother-in-law got fired from his job, because his boss wanted a new editorial take. This is despite the fact that Frank returned the magazine to the black and made it well received in the industry.

Good: He received a fat severance package and he and his family may move back up to Madison. I would be able to harass my nephews more.

Bad: My nephews would be able to harass me more.

Last Night

Bad: State Street continues its slide towards polish and contemptibility. Some dumbass almost ran me over when I had the right of way and I almost ran some dumbass over who didn't look before he crossed the street.

Good: I biked to the other side of town and saw "The Aviator", which was excellent, and biked back home, almost having that floating feeling while on the quiet and dark bike path.

iTunes

Bad: I found some Sonic Youth and Leonard Cohen, but am finding that I don't much like it.

Good: "Bubbles in the Wine" and "Penis Envycame on. Both are such happy, funny songs.

Deli Roma

Good: I picked up food from my favorite lunch spot today. I chose the new pizza option of the cheese and roasted red pepper pizza. It's fantastic.

Bad: The pizza had pepperoni hidden under the cheese. I wasn't about to not eat it, so my gut may be pulsing later on.

Black Bird of Annoyance

Bad: W showed up again, so I had to bang on my desk to get him to fly away.

Good: None.

Now it's time to take the leftover pizza to the shop for them to finish. Later, faithful readers.
