life is hilarious and magical...sometimes
so chelsey just called me, asking for my help in making up a wizard name for the employee at work that is doing fortune telling at the halloween party. he wishes to remain anonymous and apparently is inept at creating his own name of wizardry. so, i took my chances with google and came up with the wizard name generator. while talking to chelsey, i found a few gems and we finally settled on one. so a few seconds later, i get this email from my coworker and friend, tamara. shes two cubicles over, and could hear only my half of the converstion. her email said this:
Subject: Rishwit of the Indecisive Rune?
Body of email: You ok?
it was so funny that i couldnt even repeat it to chelsey on the phone. great comedy, tamara, great comedy.
in other news, i went to my great aunts funeral on wednesday. it was, of course, a mixture of sadness and happiness. the highlight, however, was when the funeral director came up to mary and me and asked if we were sisters and he said, "well, you are beautiful, if i may be so bold." he was a man short in stature, with a moustache, probably about 50. we said, of course you can! when we told my dad about it, he asked if he had asked us if wed like a fitting afterward.
at the lunch we went to, a managed to get a sliver in my ass for the first time in my life; wonderful. i looked at the place in the wall that i had squeezed by and saw that there were many places that seemed to have snagged others before me. poors sods.
played scrabble with el on tuesday night on his boat. we started on the deck and moved inside as it got colder out. at one point, one of the tiles flipped completely over (all the way over to its starting point like a dog doing a trick) without either of us touching it or anything that would cause it to do so as a chain reaction. it was insane. as we were leaving, el tried to put the little door-like cover on the cabin and it wouldnt fit. "this hasnt even happened before," he exclaimed. after taking it out to see if something was stuck there, he came up with a little scrabble tile. we laughed. "of all things to be stuck there!" he said. i agreed, citing that "of all things" was the perfect exclamation.
i have finished my halloween costume, and somehow the crazy 80s dance pants that jenny claimed objectified the night sky have tied the whole thing together. ill post pictures when available. hopefully they dont involve me looking like a man-faced drunken lunatic.
