Eccentric Flower talk:200906/Two Months Retrograde

Iain:

Regarding the "Unless" rant ... you should read this month's Doctor Who comic book. I know you're not particularly a fan, but I suspect you'd find the premise amusing -- if that's quite the right word -- and you don't have to be a fan to follow the story in this issue. (The execution sucks on many levels, just so's you're warned. Nonetheless, you'll probably find everything but the very end amusing.)

Ysabel:

That was ten years ago and we haven't gotten to see you again.  :)

I'd forgotten that you got to meet Mom and Dennis.

Now I have to go see if I can find your deeper thoughts on the subject you kept promising in that entry.

Jette:

"She told several people how glad she was when I called her and said, "Mom, don't worry about getting us at the airport, we've decided it makes more sense to rent a car." "Thank god for children with money and sense!" she exclaimed."

I am still jealous that your mom is so cool, even after all those years. You would not believe the insane fuss my parents raised last year because I came to visit them alone and insisted on renting a car. Jesus.

BTW, I don't think you were at RHPS on October 27, 1990. I don't think Sena Mall was doing RHPS at that time; they'd stopped. I think you borrowed my car that Halloween and went out with Marc to do something crazy and all-night-ish, but I don't remember if that was a weekday or weeknight.

I do love the pie entry.

Columbina:

I added a wistful comment about that at the top, Ys. (I wonder, based on some things other people have said, whether everyone is noticing the remarks I add in the present-day at the top.)

As for some deeper thoughts, try one of the other entries I linked, "Unless."

My mom and I went to Jungle Gardens and the Tabasco factory as well (apparently in 2004, since there are some pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mellicious/22599096/in/set-522588/ - but I think my camera batteries ran out before we got very far in) - it was winter and they assured us the alligators were all hibernating, or I would never have gotten out of the car at all. The coolest thing was a huge centuries-old Buddha stuck in a temple somewhere back in the woods, that we just happened to stumble upon.
