John overhears the video below from the other room. “It sounds like that crazy woman on 30 Rock.”
“Jenna?”
“No.”
“Cerie?”
“No.”
“You do realize ‘Crazy woman on 30 Rock‘ is redundant, right?”
(he meant Hazel)

The animals are fed, the dog has been walked, and I’m eking out a few minutes on the couch before I have to get ready for work. I’m just about to go upstairs when Milo hops up on top of me.
Me: Milo, you’re going to make me late.
Milo: folds one paw under.
Me: Milo, why do you always time it like this? I’ve been here for 15 minutes and now you want to cuddle?
Milo: folds another paw under, completing cat-loaf position.
Me: Dammit, stop being so soft and cute at me. You’re going to make me late for work.
Milo: purrs a few bars of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”
Me: Fine, you smug bastard.
Our local news correspondent whack-job: “Tim, I’ve been to gas stations that don’t have gas, I’ve been to Radio Shacks that don’t have transistor radios…”
Jill: “But I’ve never been to me.”
John tries to explain a martial arts movie to me halfway through.
Me: “That contains way too many antecedentless pronouns and requires me to care.”
John: “Did I just use ‘like’ about three times in a sentence?”
Me: “Yes. But to be perfectly fair, you were talking about Men At Work.”
John: “The news says lines for the new iPhone are wrapping around the block.”
Jill: “Wait – were you thinking of finally getting a smartphone on launch day?!”
John: “I had thought about it.”
Jill: “Are you high?!”
John: “Quite possibly.”
Following a brief precis of the drama that created the album Rumours, while listening to same:
Me: …and with all the interpersonal crap they created and dealt with, it’s amazing that the band not only didn’t implode, they arguably created their masterpiece.
John: Wait, I thought this was a greatest hits album.
Me: Nope.
John: ::Boggle::
John, calling parents: “Busy signal?!”
Me (mock horror): “What is THAT?”
John: “I know – where do they live, anyway?”
Me: “1985.”
Me: “So remember that trailer of that French steampunk film I showed you earlier this year?”
John: “Yeah – I think so.”
Me: “Well, apparently it was only in theatres on limited release and isn’t on DVD in the States at all.”
John: “So, New York and L.A. basically.”
Me: “Yeah probably.”
John: “And Northern Maine.”
