Pretty Huge

Not sure I'm understanding this correctly

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:55:37 -0500

Waiting for the bus, saw an ad for a watch (which, it just strikes me now, was actually part of an poster for the movie ‘Amelia’. So our advertisements now come with ads. Please, gouge out my eyes). And I thought to myself ‘I wonder if I should get a watch.’ But I immediately realized that was a terrible idea, since it would always catch on my pocket when I reached in to get my phone to see what time it was.

xkcdexplained:

A man and woman stare in contemplation at a quarter moon and the woman makes a remark about the incomprehensibility of humanity’s most notable extraplanetary achievement: sending a manned mission to the moon. The male, in an irreverent gesture, attempts to make a “geek recognition joke” in which a non-sequitur line from a movie in pop culture (In this case, Obi Wan Kenobi’s (Alec Guiness) line from Star Wars Ep IV, “A New Hope”) is recited by rote. However, he is cut off by the female who counters this attempt at a humorous non-sequitur with her paraphrase from the same movie, this time emulating Darth Vader’s heavy-handed style of command. Comically, she seems even to be able to perform the “Force Choke” that was iconic to the character Darth Vader’s mystical repertoire, lifting and choking the subject with a paranormal grip and a menacing finger gesture.

CURATOR’S NOTE: Observe the female character in the dominant and socially normalized position. In an unusual twist, she also has the ability to engage in geek culture fluently but evidently prefers not to.

Ally and Kennyb as Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker.

Ally does this thing where, when I look at her and laugh, she’ll say “What?!” in an annoyed voice. It’s so funny when she’s dressed like a muppet and does that, pretending that there’s not something totally ridiculous going on.

The Classic. Cold sore, tie-dye, and chicken grease. In Florida.

Holy carp! You wouldn’t think a dude named ‘Merlin’ could look so rugged.

Domesticated animals are weird

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:43:34 -0400

Back when I used to live with a cat, every once in a while I would stop and think to myself “Man, it’s so weird that I just let this animal run around my house and sleep on my stuff.” It’s pretty weird to take this creature you can’t communicate with very well, give it free rein in your space, and trust it to poop in the right spot.

So my mom just called this weekend and said, “Hey I have an extra ticket to a Dave Matthews concert, wanna go with me and your aunt and uncle?”

YES.

I don’t know why I’m so excited because I know none of his new songs, and haven’t really thought about them since I went to their concert in 2002. But a free outdoor concert with my mom, aunt, and uncle who LOVE concerts and can really pull off the over 40 dance (bent knees-stationary feet-hand clap, we all know it) will be so much fun. I’ll have to dig up my tie die and birks, DMB here I come!

For the longest time, I thought Dave Matthew was John Popper. Then one day in college, I was working stage crew at a Dave Matthews Band show, and he walks by heading down to his prep room, and I was so confused. I turned to the person next to me who was pulling wire and said “That’s so weird - he’s not fat at all!” Everybody gave me a strange look.

man I wish I would have seen this yesterday…hilarious!

I’m almost positive Ally and I sent this to a friend for a XMas card. Possibly the cat was wearing a kepi.

This makes me unhappy.
