what andre just said

you know, there's a part of me that feels like i'm having the time of my life . . . but there's another part of me that feels like i'm just going to the dentist.

oh god.

it's just like effing pee wee's play house (up in here, yes, i just said, up in here)

word of the day:

ecards

So, then Andre said . . .

"It's not that, really. It's just that I'm really needy, and you're the best fan I've ever had."

Booze and Hot Chocolate

[walking down the nighttime sidewalk]

me: you know, i think the last time we were walking to the store after having a few pints we were out for the same thing.

andre: oh god. [laughs.]

me: we're a wreck. but, that would make a pretty funny blog post.

andre: [still laughing.] we really were though, that's the ridiculous part.

me: i know.

andre: you just couldn't make this stuff up, could you?

me: nope.

Observation: weirdo

Yesterday the wind chill where we live was below zero. And when I say below, I don't mean close to zero degrees Fahrenheit or minus 2 or 3. I mean 30 below. But we still managed to meet up after work (read that: Andre walked the 20 minutes to where I was and then we walked the 20 minutes back together while I waffled on about an afternoon meeting I'd been in and some XSLT work I'd gotten some help figuring out), and we even managed to make it to the shop for some groceries--which is not, by the way, on the way home.

As I paced up and down, greedily checking out the choices, Andre finally exclaimed, "You're such an addict!"

I ignored him, a little, and made some selections. And we shuffled around.

"No," he said in some sort of disbelief, "I mean, you're really really addicted."

"I know," I said, blush-filled and guilty already about the choices I'd made.

We were standing in the potato chip aisle.

too many disasters, so little time

yesterday at the grocery store, i realized that there are several (gross American-ish) things that andre has never had (but probably should):

Rice Krispies treats
Ding Dongs
Twinkies

oh the processed sugars and calories!
