what the hell is going on?
Chelsea and i were abducted by aliens. Maybe. Almost. Maybe. We were in the car going out to the Duke of Edinburgh and suddenly the car was engulfed in a bright white light. But it only lasted a split second. More like a flash. I thought the light was from outside; Chelsea thought it came from within the car. Our first thought was that we were abducted by aliens, but my butt doesn't hurt more than usual, we didn't lose any time, and the car was still travelling the same speed. So either the aliens shot their light at us and then decided they didn't want us after all, or they're getting really efficient with it. Our second inclination was to rationalize the situation and conclude that it was probably lightning(???). No scorch marks on the car. Ionic something or other? No clue. Whatever it was, it freaked us the hell out.
Did everyone have a good holiday? Mine was delightful.
I got the mp3 function on my phone to work, so i'm using that as my mp3 player for now. I still hate the radio and have decided that i shouldn't buy a new iPod right now. Especially since my contact at Apple just left (rats!). But the fact that i even managed to get the mp3 player to work is a miracle considering how inept i am with technology.
At the suggestion of a friend, i signed up for roommates.com to find a third to room with. Looking through some of the profiles, i noticed something. Okay, there are some men who only want to room with men, there are some women who only want to room with women, and there are some people who don't care who they room with. But there are some men who will room with anyone except a gay man so straight men and women and gay women are okay, and some women who won't room with a gay woman but straight men and women and gay men are okay. I don't get that. Normally, i'm really whatever about homos and gay rights and that stuff, but this i find kind of weird. Do they find gay people of their own gender threatening or something? Feh. Also, this person says that she's a teacher, but i'd be kind of freaked out if any of my teachers ever looked like that. In any case, do any of you guys know anyone who will be needing a place to live at the end of this month? That would be convenient for me.
Oh, and my berry tart with the pistachio crust and white chocolate custard was a hit...despite the accident.
Phuong: Harry Potter titles if Harry Potter weren't a wizard.
Chelsea: "Harry Potter and the Extremely Long Checkout Line".
Phuong: Harry Potter titles if Hollywood had conceived of the idea first.
Chelsea: "Harry Potter and the Explositron Eight-Thousand"!
Phuong: Very few people outside of my family know my birthday.
Chelsea: I know it. :-)
Thib: Yeah, and then you get mad when people don't remember it.
Phuong: I don't get mad, it's just a joke!
Thib: It's passive-agressive.
Phuong: I'm not passive-agressive. That's like calling me petty.
Chelsea: Or calling him manipulative.
