Oates, Mustache Make Cartoon Crime-Fighting Team

Yessss. I would tell my main H&O story here, but it's already been told, on another, swearier blog, years and years ago.

Apparently this comic reminded someone of me... I can't imagine how...

So, what has the drummer for your favourite band done lately?

Dragonfly Inn, eh

As I watched a rerun this evening, my husband postulated that Gilmore Girls wouldn't have become as popular if it was set in Minnesota.

'Gonna take Luke down to the Dragonfly Inn, eh?'
'Oh yah, you betcha.' (nodding head)

Granted, the woodchipper might have improved Season 7...

"Maybe if I use my least nagging tone of voice"

When Mom and Dad Share It All (NYT)

Parts of this article struck me... and we don't even have kids.

All I have to say is... I would nag my husband far, far less if he did what I asked him to do (or remembered what I asked him to remember) THE FIRST TIME. My home life (and those that came before me) is very secretarial in nature. Appointments and routines and replacing things when they run out and much, much more. Maybe I'll reach a balance one day, between nagging and not sweating the small stuff... until then, it is definitely not appropriate for me to ask you several times per day over 4 days for you to order something you had intended to order online in advance of Father's Day, for you to finally ask me if you can use the computer to order it when I'm in the middle of a SPORADIC BLOGGING EVENT. What a scamp.

The Pursuit of Happiness

And now for a new section: actual phone conversations with my dad.

"Dad, next time you go on your evening walk, can you walk by my house and bring your Pursuit of Happiness CD?"
"Sure, which one?"
"The one with Hard To Laugh. I'm watching the video right now and it's awesome. I think I'm going to start liking PoH ironically and then for real, just like I did with Hall & Oates."

I walked home from work today. It was intense.
