Stuff My Dad Says: Little Bird

My dad just sent me this email at work:

"When I went to the apt today there was a small bird huddled by the back door. From his looks and behavior he was probably very young and lost. I took a small bun from your freezer, thawed it out and left it for him. He immediately went over and started to eat. When I returned an hour later he was gone. If humans only act in their selfish interests, why did I bother? Humans are also motivated by altruistic interests!"

I Love You


This is sick. I think I have a problem…


Yes.
Yes you do.
Good thing Honey Badger doesn’t give a shit.


All he cares about are cobras, running backwards and larva. It’s actually pretty one sided now that I think about it.

He's worth it.

Talk to me in letters



You know C/ Spaceman Spiff knows me well when he explain things like this:

"Between Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, I think you'd like Spirited Away more *if* you can get
past the love story part of it. Not that it's a stupid hollywood love story or anything, but it is there. Maybe more like the love story in Moulin Rouge, but less so. That's not a good description. I think you'd like Spirited Away more. Though Princess Mononoke is good too--it reminds me of The Last Samurai, but without the Scientologists.

Half way between Moulin Rouge and Ron and Hermione."

I totally get that. Understand it.

I love the email banter I have during work. I have a fantastic group of interesting and engaging people who I chit-chat with all day long (that sounds like bragging, it isn't.. I just adore the people who keep me entertained all day long). I love it. Makes work that much more fun! It's usually just banter about this and that or stuff we've found on the Internet or about sciencey stuff. Or Harry Potter. It's great.

I've always enjoyed writing. I've had many pen pals in my life, written on many blogs and always taken a very active role using my words. Again, I'm not saying I'm any good. I've improved a lot with spelling and grammar check but I'm not in anyway a good writer.. but it's a wonderful way to communicate.

When I use to pen pal everything was attended too. The types of stamps I used, what my writing looked like, the type of stationary I used and how I made my own envelopes. Those were fantastic days of letter exchange. I often wish I had been able to keep it up but life changes and we find that our demand for time changes as well.

Emails have filled that void as best as they can but there is something to be said about dragging a pen across paper and signing your name at end. I hear talk that handwriting is a dying art and I am sad to think that might even be the case. It's never obsolete. We'll always need to know how to write just as we'll always need to know how to walk.

Anyway, that's my ramble on.. It's almost home time and it's Friday. The weather's been nice and I've been looking forward to this weekend for a while (for obvious and not so obvious reasons).

Have a lovely Friday-Saturday-Sunday!

(it's funny to look at my writing samples and see the spelling errors. The cursive was so hard to concentrate on that I made some really basic errors that actually embarrass me- oh well! I am who I am, Love me!)

Emails From Work: Hot Dogs


ME:
How was your weekend? Eat anything interesting? Did you get rain?

Space Man:
My weekend was okay. Nothing much interesting in the food department. I did a pork roast
last thursday and I've just been picking over the leftovers since
then. Pork roast sandwiches are pretty tasty! :)

Nope, no rain.


ME:
Mmmm Pork Sandwich!


Space Man:
mmm... I have amazing chicken slow cooking right now. I hope it turns out well.


ME:
AMAZING chicken just HAS to turn out well with a name like that. I had AMAZING hot dogs last night- no, in the afternoon. It was AWESOME! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Space Man:
I'm hoping it is! Amazing hot dogs? What makes them amazing? Did you cook them in a slow cooker?


~THE NEXT DAY ~


ME:
(after seeing Facebook Status that Amazing Chicken was indeed Amazing)

So, Amazing Chicken was amazing?? That's EXCELLENT!! Amazing hot dogs are just as amazing because they were really good hot dogs! Mmmmmmmmm I LOVE Hotdogs!!!

Space Man:
It was pretty good. :) Where do you get your really good hot dogs?

ME:
Safeway!


Space Man:
Safeway?!?! hahaha cool! I was thinking I might do a wiener roast this weekend. Hike out somewhere, get a fire going, and cook some hot dogs. Probably get eaten by a bear.

ME:
I like the pork Schneider's ones... I hate Maple Leaf and I hate all beef! Pork Swords all the way!
Ooo that sounds like an exciting idea- get eaten by bear! HA!


Space Man:
lol ew. Yeah, I fully except the bear to go "nom nom nom" as it's eating me.


ME:
That is because you will be full of Hotdogs! Mmmmmmmm!!!! I LOVE HOTDOGS!!!!! Nummy!!!

Space Man:
hahaha Not only full of hot dogs, but also smelling like hot dogs. Eep.

ME:
Are you planning on rolling in the Hotdog Juice? *gasp*

Space Man:
Yes.

ME:
Explain to me again, what are the healing properties of Hotdog Juice?

Space Man:
It's a contraceptive.
