Rob, Rambling - A lot of things interest me...

The girlfriend has an addiction: hardbacks

  • The Girlfriend: and getting the new Terry Pratchett tomorrow
  • The Girlfriend: which would account for £11 of the missing £104 from my bank account
  • Me: seriously, I need to wean you off hardbacks
  • The Girlfriend: :(
  • The Girlfriend: I like being first with the new books
  • The Girlfriend: you have to wait like another YEAR to get the paperback
  • Me: delayed gratification is just as good as instant gratification
  • The Girlfriend: not as far as I am concerned
  • The Girlfriend: I want instant gratification all the time

To be honest, I'm really not.

  • The Girlfriend: I was just about to tell you about my shoe dilemna
  • The Girlfriend: but figured you really wouldn't be interested
  • The Girlfriend: so you have been spared a shoe diatribe :)
  • Me: I'm interested in shoe dilemmas
  • Me: (not really)

My job does have its benefits. Lunches being one of them.

  • Me: I've got a lunch, which I didn't know about until an hour ago
  • The Girlfriend: man you ALWAYS get to have nice food
  • The Girlfriend: I'm so jealous
  • The Girlfriend: I'm looking at an egg sandwich which is the height of gourmet dining around here

Ah, bless her.

  • The girlfriend: Actually, [Friend] is looking to sell her car.
  • The girlfriend: She paid about three grand for it a couple of years ago.
  • Me: Oh cool. What kind of car is it?
  • The girlfriend: *Thinks about it*
  • The girlfriend: It's a red car.

Must watch this episode tonight

  • Hank Scorpio: You know who invented the hammock, Homer?
  • Homer: No.
  • Hank Scorpio: There's something for you to do: find that out.

At 3:45pm?! WITHOUT me?!

  • The Girlfriend: Apparently its beer o clock
  • The Girlfriend: See you at home xx
  • The Girlfriend: [Signs out]
  • Co-worker: I went to my son's engagement party on Saturday night. Met the new father-in-law...
  • Co-worker: [Pauses for effect]
  • Co-worker: What a prick!
  • The Girlfriend: Did you know the guy that wrote Glee was [our friend X]'s friend at school in America?
  • The Girlfriend: And he was in the glee club there
  • The Girlfriend: And the show is quite strongly based on their experiences at school
  • The Girlfriend: So he recognises all the story lines
  • The Girlfriend: [X's wife] told me last night
  • Me: X was in Glee club?
  • The Girlfriend: Yup
  • Me: Awesome! Was he the guy with the mohawk? I bet he was
  • The Girlfriend: No way!
  • Me: Was X ever in a wheelchair?!
  • The Girlfriend: He always used to tell [his wife] stories about it
  • The Girlfriend: How it was for all the geeks and then the hockey team joined and a few cheerleaders
  • The Girlfriend: And they all became really popular
  • The Girlfriend: Can you imagine it?!
  • Me: Sounds like some kind of fantasy you'd only see on TV...
  • Note: This all came about by me showing her http://gleeky.tumblr.com and all the other Glee tumblrs it links to. She's in her element!

Because The Muppet Christmas Carol is ALWAYS relevant

  • Sam the Eagle: Tomorrow, you become a man of business!
  • Young Scrooge: I'm looking forward to it, Headmaster.
  • Sam the Eagle: Mmm, you will love business. It is the AMERICAN WAY!
  • Gonzo: [whispers] Sam... [whispers in Sam's ear]
  • Sam the Eagle: Oh... It is the BRITISH WAY!
  • Young Scrooge: Yes, headmaster.

I was signed out of Gchat for a little while

  • The Girlfriend: Gym?
  • Me: Burrito
