The geek boys don't believe Alan when he tells them the girl sitting on his bed doesn't mind him playing CS. I am far too amused.

Ice cream day, strawberry and cookies 'n cream from Amy's. Work was unremarkable. I am glad to be home, and by home I mean sitting on the mattress with my laptop in Alan's apartment smoking Camels and drinking Pislner Urquell that we bought on our lunch break.

geekdom and the first round of questions

I wake up, hang my slacks up in the shower so I can steam out the wrinkles, and stretch back out on the bed beside him to check my email. He makes coffee, and turns on his own machine.

I dreamed the other night I was on a sailboat with Orlando. I have no idea where or why. Perhaps inspired by the pirate movie, which we're going to see again no doubt as we've both been cackling over it again and again. I bet Melynda would like to see it again too.

Trying to decide if I want to read Klima or Skvorecky this weekend, inbetween games and lunches and friends.

Answers:

What gives you the greatest joy?
The company I keep, and the moments where I know I'm doing exactly what I was born to do. Spending nights with my friends, writing, swimming at noon under the summer sky, driving at night with the music up, falling into bed beside the people I love.

Why hasn't there been a woman president?
Because no woman has ever mounted a majorly funded campaign for the presidency. Becaise YOU haven't run yet. Because few female politicians have developed the national stage presence to mount such a move.

Am I a mudblood, or a Pureblood who just doesn't know it yet ?
The crystal ball is still on my desk at work, so... You see my theory is this. One of your parents was a Muggle, and the other was a mysterious pureblood who forsook his family for love.

Why is the sky blue?
There's some entirely complicated explanation involving physics and dust particles and atoms and such that I won't go into here. The sky is blue because blue goes well with everything, and hence the sky can compliment any number of landscapes if it is blue. Thumping good design I say.

Is it true that you can advance fairly quickly at NAFD? Someone suggested it to me as a foot-in-the-door kinda place to start over.
Do you mean the National Association of Funeral Directors? Because I hear that's a damn fine market to be in these days. So yes, it is. Or do you mean FAFD? Because that is also a yes. Play the game, look smart, be helpful, and you can jumps ranks. I've seen a lot of it. We're hiring right now.
