hafitalWell, duh, you say.
To which I say, No really. He is.
He's trying to convince me that it's a good idea for him to just loll about in bed and have Methos attempt to give him hickeys. Normally I encourage this sort of thing, only it's not much for the advancement of the story, now is it?
In other unrelated news, I read "Dude, Where's My Dude? Dudelicous Dissection, From Sontag to Spicoli" yesterday and had all sorts of fond memories of my childhood. Dude. And, like, can I just say how much I love Dude, Where's my Car?. Like, more than is good for me, I think. It's stupid and fluffy and full of stereotypes and I want to chew it, like candy. I'm even excited about the sequel, which is sad sad sad. Shibby.
An ex of mine told me a story about how his dad decked him out cold once for calling him "dude". His dad is much older and from a farming community and to him "dude" meant a horse's dick. Talk about generational gap. oops.
In even more totally unrelated news (you can tell I'm too lazy to make multiple entries), The Day the World Exploded looks really interesting. I may even buy it. I've never gotten close to a volcano but I'd like to one day. I have been through several earthquakes and nothing's quite so alarming as having the ever steady and eternal ground just up and decide it wants to shake. Spewing hot lava must be a whole other level.
This is where I bemoan the fact that I don't read nearly as much non-fiction as I would like.
This is also where I bemoan the idiocy of youth. Because I've been to Indonesia. Twice. Did I know about Krakatoa then? Nope. If I had known would I have been driven to do at least a little research before going to Java? Prolly not. In my defense I as 14 and more preoccupied with my braces. Because, dude, braces suck.

Then again, what's the hurry? ;-) I love what you've sent me so far! Who says you have to get anywhere right away?
I know, not helping. *contrite*

Date: 2003-07-16 10:29 pm (UTC)Pretty soon after they mentioned that little factoid, we saw on the news that there had been a pyroclastic flow at Unzen. I remember trying to translate the news... the spoken stuff wasn't too bad, but the written was a bit beyond me. I could read the characters for dead, and I could read the characters for wounded, but I couldn't make out the other characters, which had the largest group of names under it, including the person who was teaching their class. When I asked the hosts, they said it was was the equivalent of dead, but good luck finding a body. :-/
Okay, so not a cheerful story, but just kinda weird. I seem to remember that quite a few of the 40-something people who died were taxi drivers and reporters, just trying to make a living. I'm sure they had no idea of the risks involved.
And yeah, braces did suck. :-) I had mine from 5th - 8th grade.
And I'm ~really~ looking forward to this story, even if you don't manage to get Duncan out of bed! :-)
