You're an old woman and I'm a heinous skank.

We've been watching The 1940s House on DVD, because, you know, we're trying to live in a 1940s house even though our house is clearly post-war.... but I digest. Anyway, the show tries to make you realize the hardships of living in England in the 40s with the rationing and wardens and what-not. I kind of love it though; the strict English discipline ( Read more... )

if it puts your mind at ease, i think that was the one and only helmet-free bike ride of my entire life. There were no hills or cars so i decided to live on the edge (also scott is a bad influence).

I'm glad you aren't my fuel warden.

If I don't take a shower every day (sometimes twice) then I wouldn't be allowed in my own bed. I get pretty dirty and sweaty each day. We do pretty well with the lights in a room we aren't using thing and we are now in full compost mode along with gardening. We're doing what we can to be good stewards of the Earth, but it's going to brush mankind aside soon no matter what we do. Which is probably for the best at this point.

When is see someone riding a bike I think, "Must have had his license revoked because of a DUI." Then I laugh at their goofy looking helmet.

Not all of mankind. Probably just you. I'm going to be around forever.

Okay, I'll cut back to one shower a day. I want to be here to see what the planet looks like without humans around to screw it up.

Been there, done that (time machine, you know). Going back to 1940s England now, where I belong. You won't hear from me again until I return to the age of computers, years from now. Don't worry, it will seem instantaneous to you...

OK, Back.

LOLOLOLOL SWEET JESUS. Khoi there should be TWO award winning writers in your house hold.

Sometimes I reflect on just how different I am from the rest of the band and sometimes you write stuff like this and I realize almost from different planets. Still this is grade A hilarious stuff.

Something about your writing reminds me of David Sedaris a little. I swear to g-d you should write a book.

Oh except of course very much the same in one thing...those dreaded wednesdays and saturdays also known as shower days. Daily bathing is for hairy people and people with glandular problems. Also I'm lazy.

Also I don't believe in long commutes to work but thats cause I'm lazy and the closer I live to work the longer I can sleep in. So I guess my laziness makes me "green" in a few ways.
