"Few notable things" leads to an oddly formatted page.
Recently I've been talking to someone who seems to get every single obscure reference I make. It's kind of cool to be able to say some piece of a reference and have my audience understand it, but at a certain point it makes me feel like I'm not an individual anymore. Of course, that's my inner hipster running loose, but still... Anyway, earlier in the year Alex gave me a book, The Name of the Wind, in which there is a scene where the lead starts a line from an obscure play and the person he says it to finishes the line. I read that right after I'd figured out that my friend has a similar (though slightly more expansive) world experience to me. She can always lose me on a reference, but I've only been able to manage it once, and I don't even remember what it was...
My mother has a standing offer to her children that she will proofread our papers if we ask her to. Well, I was running close on a paper (within 12 hours), and I sent the following message:
"Could you proofread this? I kinda sorta...procrastinated like a boss...
Love you.
Thanks."
I never say "like a boss". It really isn't in my standard lexicon. But at 1am, I'll use any phrase that comes to mind. And this time, it was "like a boss". It was weird...
Last night, one of my (our? A friend of my roommate) neighbors came over to play music. He's a DJ, so I wasn't sure what to think, but when he got here, he turned out to really know his stuff. More electronically than musically, but that's better than what I was expecting. He started making some beats for my roommate to play guitar to, but it sounded a bit empty, so I came in with background chords. The rhythms lined up real nice, and my roommate did some picking patterns over the top. It was REALLY COOL. I enjoy music. :-P
