I seriously don’t know how these people keep finding us. I suppose through the law of averages, one would come by every now and again, but the frequency of people saying the most bizarre things to us is becoming quite troubling.
In what seems to be a bit of a theme this month, I swear that this strip is also based on real life. What possessed this person to offer me this movie in the first place is beyond me, but in the real life conversation, the insistence went on for quite some time until I literally pretended to burn myself a copy of the DVD. I don’t want to get into more of it, but to those who may be looking to make a similar pitch in the future, please don’t preface the conversation by saying “Have you seen Al Gore’s movie?” Despite what you might think, it doesn’t help your cause.
The Search for The New No Reason HQ resumed with abundance this week. We’ve seen 4 places in 24 hours and to be honest, so far they have been pretty good. Neither one of us wants to move, so we have been digging our heels in pretty hard to avoid it. Now however, with a few good viewings under our belt, I know I for one and getting kind of excited about it. Normally, I’m a creature of habit but hopefully this place will end up being our home for more than a year, so I’m beginning to look forward to the stability. It’ll be nice to make a place ours.
Finally, for those of you who were wondering, yes, I made it out of my parent’s driveway in spite of the snow. Unfortunately, it also meant I had to up at the crack of dawn, and thus did not get much sleep for a couple days. In a related note, let me apologize to the listener(s) of The Watchtower. I was pretty out of it when we recorded this week, so if I said anything bizarre, I can only hope it was hilarious.
All right, this weekend promises to be a good one, so I am off to embrace it. You all have fun, and remember: if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, for the love of God don’t go home with it because it’s probably a duck. And they will MESS UP your house.
Not getting it either,
-MM
