Went computer shopping with my cousin Leeann and her daughter Jessica. I was brought along because I know how to talk the computer talk and walk the computer walk 🙂 Well, I think what we found will work well, I just hope that nothing better turns up, then I’ll just feel ghastly!
Speaking of ghastly, yesterday I went grocery shopping and I saw a girl who is a friend of a friend. We have gone out together as part of a group a few times. I was rather struck by her appearance, not because she looked more unwashed than usual but rather because she wore a pair of Mr. Spock ears. She looked up and noticed I was staring mouth agape and I realized that the opportunity to run and hide behind the pumpkin display had passed. So I went over to her and said: “Christine?” Her reply was: “Yes my name is Christine….who are you?” It was rather hard to accept that not only was she a weird slob but also retarded ..how else to explain the fact that she couldn’t recognize a person that she had been with just a few days before! “I’m also a friend of Tim’s,” I said soothingly but refraining from being out and out patronizing. Apparently that was enough to jolt her memory, because she relaxed her face that had been contorted into a very strange grimace. She then started to sputter and spew, saying,”These ears aren’t mine, they aren’t mine, they are for a Halloween Party I am going to…” YEAH RIGHT TREKKIE, I BET! was about to be my reply, but instead I opted for: “Oh, I hadn’t noticed, they look so natural!” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I turned on my heel and fled the scene. Looking back, I still can’t help but wonder, what the hell was she thinking– Spock Ears???
