*Breakfast time. Liz is making French toast, Chris is washing up, and Mm is setting the table
Mm: I was reading the Wikipedia page about French toast, actually. It's been around since the 1800s.
Chris: What, Wikipedia?
Mm: ...It's like there's a major disconnect between the mouth and the brain!
Liz: How long has the Internet been around, Chris?
Chris: Since the 1990s?
Liz: And how long has Wikipedia been a major site?
Chris: The last couple of years?
Liz: And when were the 1800s?
Chris: A long time before that?

Chris and I went to a party last night. The music was louder than I'd've liked, so I spent a fair proportion of the evening outside.
Chris: Wow. You can almost see the stars.
Mm: Oh, they're there. *points* That one's a planet. *points* Those two are stars.
Chris: But aren't all stars really just planets? It just depends on how far away they are?
Mm: ........ You fail astronomy forever.

When I recounted this conversation to his father, Chris piped up with "Well, they aren't asteroids, are they?" |

Last night was Thomas "Resurrection" of a birthday party.
I was 45 minutes early, and everyone else was at least half an hour late, which meant I spent a fair while sitting in the bar reading magazines and playing DS.
At one point, Kellie bought everyone (aside from me, obviously) a shot, and asked them to say something interesting about Thomas before they were allowed to drink it.
My ever-tactful boyfriend piped up with, "Thomas has a deep disdain for undergraduates. Which I now share." ...Sigh.
Eventually they turned up the music so loud that I got my canalphones out of my bag and used them as temporary earplugs.

PS: Something from the other night, while I was hanging out at EGG.
*Beani says something snarky about one of the EGG members that Lei doesn't know.
Lei: You really have to be nicer to the n00bs.
Beani: Karate Mook isn't a n00b! He's been around for at least two years!
Lei: ...Ok. ...You really have to be nicer to the nubs.
EDIT:
Chris: The place we went to had lots of meat.
Dedney: For a moment there, I thought that was a nice way of saying it was a sausage fest.
Mm: It's Chris!
Dedney: Yeah, then I remembered who I was talking to.
EDIT (2):
Dedney: I'm a lawyer, right?
Everyone else: ...
Dedney: And the rules are, "Say something interesting about Thomas before you drink".
Kellie: Yes...
Dedney: Something interesting about Thomas! *reaches for his glass* |

From Saturday afternoon, when I was just about to head to Beani's birthday party.
Chris: So, the boat's dropping you back where you started?
Mm: Presumably. Then I have to figure out how I'm getting home - it's supposed to run till 11 or so.
Chris: Maybe you could ask them to drop you off at Haberfield!
Mm: I don't think it works like that. No, I'll probably just ask one of the guys to walk with me to guard against assault. I'm guessing at least one of them will be walking to the station, and could keep me company on the bus stop.
Chris: Or you could do that. Just don't go along Bathurst Street.
Mm: Do Will and Morgan qualify as Big Manly Men for purposes of assault prevention?
Chris: Well, Will's tall enough...
Mm: He doesn't really have the bouncer build, though.
Chris: I'm sure he'd be able to intimidate them somehow.
Mm: Yeah, he'd offer to show them "a magic trick", and they'd think it was a euphemism.
When I summarised this conversation to Morgan, he said that his ego was now outsizing the boat. Then my hair escaped from its ties and came to eat him again.

Chris: I didn't use it!
Mm: ...We were away for four days, and you didn't brush your teeth?

Chris was evidently overtired this evening.
Thomas: How should we get there? Should we walk or catch a bus?
Chris: I think we should ride a moat! Pulled by little furry animals!

Thomas: Just so long as you've won.
Mm: Well, I haven't lost anyway.
Thomas: You should write a blog post about your cheat codes for beating the end boss.

Chris: What's the game? Ping Pong?
Thomas: PowerPoint.

Random notes:
* WTF, lady? How do you turn "C-O-L... V for victory... I... Double-L E." into "Colvaooe"?
* WALL-E was cute. Now I want a WALL-E toy, but both Target and KMart had sold out. I'm tempted to do what Rob_Jedi did, and order an iDance WALL-E from the States. He had it hooked up to his iPod, dancing along to You Are A Pirate from Lazy Town.
* Note the song's very loose definition of pirate: "If you love to sail the sea, you are a pirate!". I wonder how the legal shipgoing public feel about this statement? (Mind you, you could argue that anyone who can afford the cash to spend on a boat must be resorting to piracy...)
* Most of the ads for movies before the film seemed to be for Disney films. One of the films advertised was The Tale of Despereaux, which I initially thought was going to be a sequel to Ratatouille, except that the animation style was wrong.
* Cinemas no longer have ads, they have a "Pre-Show Program".
* High School Musical 3 comes out next month. This fills me with mindless and unending glee. And Chris with resignation.
* "So, The Onion isn't a real newspaper, then?" -Chris
* Conceptis Puzzles are way more addictive than is healthy for my sleeping patterns. And it's not like I'm even that good at them, I just can't seem to stop plugging away.
* Stack Overflow is my new "I'm waiting for my code to compile, what's something IT-related I can be reading?" website. Coders might fight it useful, I just find it interesting what bubbles to the top. "I keep reading things telling me how to Unit Test, but nothing tells me what it's for. What is Unit Testing, and why do I care?"

Chris' most shining moment of the day was, having watched a ninety-minute film, not noticing that it was in black-and-white.
Followed by asking me what a silver bullet was, as we watched a man pouring molten metal into a mould - in a Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode about werewolves ("It's a bullet... Made from silver...").
Followed by turning "Advanced Medical Institute" into the acronym "ADI".
...I think he might be a little overtired...
