Phone quotes to die for:

Calmly discussing comics, on Preacher at this point over the phone with megolas, and I get the most fantastic out of context horrified yell :

"OH GOD, IT'S The CHICKEN FUCKING!"

This is actually less disturbing than "I've just reached the armadillo bit - We've just run out of gerbil lube." However she's now *really* disturbing me by quoting the Dime Bar advert - Crunchy on the outside, smooth on the inside - armadillos!"

my brain works in ways that scare me...

Watching Angel, penultimate ep, and we get to see the unveiling of the mysterious evil circle that controls a load of people... and I kept expecting to see someone like Steven Spielberg amongst them. Ooo, Wes with shotgun. Oh, and the Italian episode is pure and utter crack. Grazie, prego, kiss-kiss.

But it's not as bad as this afternoon. Dad walked into the kitchen on his search for coffee in a break from dealing with all the shares and stuff left over from Granny's death, encountered mum making large amounts of Indonesian Chicken (Ayam Pendang Pedis) for tomorrow - cousin's 30th birthday - and then wandered into the dining room where I was making costume #2 for Hyperion. He just grinned and said :

"Isn't this a lovely traditional domestic picture. Mother cooking, daughter sewing, and father working on important matters. Warms the cockles of the conservative heart."

Cue us dissolving in laughter after glaring at him....
