If You Haven't Seen "Little Miss Sunshine" You Might Want To Skip the First Paragaph

[snurri]

I just saw "Little Miss Sunshine" last night, and when they flashed to Alan Arkin during the ceremony I had a moment of shock, because I was thinking he was still dead.

Things which it would be hard to believe have ever happened to anyone else: last night I had my headphones on, listening to iTunes while I wrote, and I started air-drumming to the Poster Children, pen in hand. I was into it, head bobbing, eyes closed. I opened my eyes to find that the pen had begun to leak ink, and droplets of black ink were all over the wall, blinds, and futon.

Also, I was nearly run over on my way home, and I wasn't even jaywalking. Stupid right-turning Chicago drivers. I think I may have hurt my hand banging on the guy's hood. Typing with two fingers in an improvised splint? Not so very easy.

I downloaded some "Ugly Betty" and it may be my new favorite show. (I still love you, Veronica, but it's not as easy as it once was.)

I am glad you are still alive, mister. Don't scare me like that. I'm sorry about your hand though - that sucks.

Thanks, but don't worry. Nothing's broken--sprained, possibly, but nothing more serious. I think the guy in the car thought I was going to drag him out and beat the hell out of him, though.

Good. I will keep my fingers crossed re: not even sprained.

think the guy in the car thought I was going to drag him out and beat the hell out of him, though.


I hope so. I hope he has nightmares about you dragging him out of his bedroom window every night and beating the hell out of him, and that he never makes a stupid right turn again.

Stupid Chicago drivers.

Some dumb botch almost ran me over when I was crossing the street at Ashland and Blackhawk a week ago. I had the right of way, she was making a left onto Ashland from Blackhawk. I kept walking, watching her turn WHILE TALKING ON A CELL PHONE. When she realized I was there, her eyes got wide and she slammed on the brakes and started yelling AT ME.

I laughed at her and called her a Stupid C***.

I mean, COME ON. I drive (occasionally), but how hard is it to see someone walking IN A CROSSWALK with the RIGHT OF WAY.

These people need to be kneecapped.

snurri, I hope your hand feels better.

um, bitch (or biotch, if you please, heh). not botch.

Thanks, it does feel better today. Kept two of my fingers immobilized overnight, and they're a bit sore but otherwise fine.

Glad we're both not dead! :-)

I KNOW!

My brush was more of a... um... glance? Glare.

It just astonishes me the way the douches drive in the WP. I've almost been run over on foot in my hood SO MANY TIMES. And I'm talking about the times when I'm crossing the street with the light, in a crosswalk, when I have the right of way.

It would be different if I was jaywalking, then I would have no right to bitch.

Ditto!

And dude, snurri, looks like you have a posse near at hand if you ever want to go after your stupid driver. ;)
