Lagniappe: an unserious blog
Clear is (almost) here!
Yay!
Catchy music at the movies
"There Will Be Blood" (thumbs up), otherwise scored atonally by a Radiohead member, ends with Brahms Violin Concerto in D Major (3rd Movement) and Slim and I made up words for the closing theme which we sang to each other throughout the mall:
There will be blood!
There will be blood!
There will be blood blood blood blood blood!

On the car ride home:
Slim: We should contract with someone to kill us if we buy a Range Rover.
Me: I'm not sure we need the additional disincentive. Even if we did, Virginia tax law provides plenty of financial disincentive not to buy a Range Rover.
Slim: There was a Stephen King short story about quitting smoking—
Me: Yeah, they made a movie out of it.
Slim: Oh, really?
Me: It had, um, whatshisname, as the head of the company. Alan King.
Slim: Who's Alan King?
Me: Alan King! He's the guy who played the guy in that Stephen King movie.
Morning errand divisions
Slim: Don't forget to pick up the packages from the front office.
Me: I'll pick up the packages.
Slim: They're the knitting needles I ordered. I want my knitting needles!
Me: You just want to stab me in the heart with your knitting needles.
Slim: I already have knives if I want to stab you in the heart.
