i'm in love.
i'm in love with my new pants. they ARE my ideal jeans. they're dark silvers with huge bells. awwww, i love bells ;) you have no idea how ecstatic i am right now. i got them at value village if you can believe that! and they're totally the right size, clearly it was predestined.
sometimes i laugh at inappropriate moments. this can sometimes cause me to feel like a huge jackass. today dave was saying that sometimes he makes good decisions and sometimes he makes bad decisions. then proceeded to tell me about these stocks that he bought that became very valuable. i said to him "i thought this was a story about bad decisions you've made!" and he said "no, i don't talk about michelle..." i laughed (he was serious, but that's not the worst of it). later i said "so, do you ever see this michelle around town?" and he said "no, she's dead". at this i laughed hysterically. hahahahahaa. i tried not to, he looked sort of sad. to make things worse, i think she commit suicide, although he didn't say explicitly. i tried to compose myself, but i know i was still laughing with my eyes. i'm not laughing at the situation or at the girl (i say girl because i think this was the 24 year old he lived with while he was in his mid-50s), but at the awkwardness and at the outrageousness of the situation. my sister told me once "you're obsessed with david ferrence", that's not the case, he just provides a lot of material.
i used to regularly read knickers's economist magazine at work. it made me really in the know AND it made me sound very clever when in conversation i'd say "i was reading in the economist..." but then she cancelled it to save money and since then i've been totally in the dark about world events. however, recently i've started perusing google news each day. you may have noticed with my obsession with pluto. its interesting, i'm glad i've developed this habit. i like being current, and it makes me able to debate better when debating is called for.
i'm going to the screening room with my dad tonight. i find that funny. i WAS going to go alone, but he just dropped by and i mentioned i was going and invited him along. we're seeing an inconvenient truth: starring al gore. funny. i think this is a dad and les kind of movie. we're a lot alike in our ability to absorb facts on things we would otherwise have no formal basis for our opinions.
do i run rare?

I laughed so hard as I read this post that I was actaully crying - very rare for me. Thanks for the good medicine!
your comment made ME laugh. thanks rach, i like it when i make you laugh.
here's a word of advice... go see "an inconvienent truth" very eye opening and compelling. we've gotts to change the world!!! i'm on a new rampaige. i'm going to recycling and conserving energy with fervere.
Jase and I saw it a couple weeks ago and have been trying to get everyone we know to see it, too. Glad you had the chance. You and Jase can go rampaging together.
i know just exactly how ecstatic bell-bottoms can make you and make me!
do you ever laugh when people fall down? i do that... it's terrible, but i can't stop. bad things happen if I try to hold the laughter in. once I tried so hard to hold in some laughter that I almost choked on my saliva. i literally inhaled it and coughed and gagged. i guess then it was their turn to laugh at me...
i need to see the inconvenient truth... i've given up on pirates.
melinda... you are true blue.
oh rach! i'm so glad someone else has seen it. its fabulous, and without sounding like a cliché... a "MUST SEE!"
DUDE! i'll see pirates with you. you totally need to see the inconvenient truth, but pirates too! oh crap, i have plans on tuesday, maybe we can go to the late show.
I totally liked that movie! Very informative... really liked the part about how the media skews things...
oh totally. that WAS an interesting point.
