memes & funny stuff
Got an email from chamois_shimi, who has known me since about...I donno. 1992? Maybe before then, even:
(chamois_shimi's friend) L read a book the other day where the protagonist said she had "the emotional intelligence of a turnip."
chamois_shimi giggles.
chamois_shimi says "That sounds ... /almost/ familiar!"
L says "Read it, maybe? Main character's a mechanic."
L says "_Coyote Dreams_ or something like that. The third in a series, present-day."
chamois_shimi ....
chamois_shimi laughs!!!
chamois_shimi "OK yes, I've read that. *wipes eyes* Ahem. Sorry."
*amused* :) (And points to anybody who knows who I stole the emotional maturity of a turnip from.)

1. What is the soundtrack for this LJ?
Traffic, right now, and in general either whatever's playing in my head or Ted playing video games.
2. What's bothering you right now?
Actually, despite being neck-deep in things to do and, you know, running short of money because we just moved and that's always an expensive proposition, and the house being not entirely tidy (although it's a hell of a lot better than it was before Ted attacked it)...not a damned thing.
