a low comedy

yamamanamaShadowdancer Duskstar, who is now creepily obsessed with my friendship with Emma, thinks Alex intervened even though I said, not only to my readers, but to Liz, Emily, Jessica, Zofia, and Katie, that my friendship winding down has nothing to do with Alex whatsoever. It's just that we're not going to the same concerts or events. I don't think some people can really grasp how large Boston/Cambridge/Somerville are and just how much goes on on any one day. Queensland has the population of Palestine in the land area of Mexico, and I really doubt much happens in the ass end of Queensland. That was my third point to Katie and I can't remember the first two points I made. I think A was "I specifically said it has nothing to do with Alex" and B was, I don't know, let's just say B is "shut up."
And D, Alex isn't intervening in anything unless he beats me in a Mega Man race.
Convincing someone they're not in Opposite World is the kind of thing that makes robots explode.
Eden threw a box after releasing an animal. I don't know why, it was probably a triumph thing. We've released a grosbeak, we're releasing a duck, we're trying to rehome a red-eared slider, because they outcompete native turtles and consume all their resources. Someone asked about starlings and we could kill every starling we admit and it wouldn't make a difference.
I told Katie that I originally said "I may never see you again, so take care," to Emma but that's not really how things should go.
Katie says she needs to brush up on her Ottoman and Balkan history. Spoiler alert: so do I.
We were talking about her friend from Romania and I have no idea how we got into this and how this is all speculation and conjecture but I think my family left Hungary after 1848 and the Arabs still did better with two successful revolutions, two stolen revolutions, and Syria in ruins.
She was talking about how a goat headbutted a woman in a wheelchair and it rolled about ten feet. Or maybe that was someone else who told me that story.
Zofia gave the raccoons a mushroom, along with some summer squash and cucumbers. The only vegetables they had were peppers, and raccoons don't seem to like peppers very much.
Some of this is common sense, but spoiler alert: if you're being attacked by a shark, fight back but stay calm when you fight back.
A woman with a cool silver and sapphire or something pendant who was heading the group I was giving a tour brought up vampires when I was talking about rabies. I said "werewolves," because humans lash out when they get rabid and their brain degenerates, and maybe people back then thought the victim was transforming into a wolf.
Katie's phone is dinosaur-proofed. Actually, no, it's emu-proofed, because emus fight each other.
Justin says that cassowaries are worse than emus and emus are worse than ostriches. Sesame Street ruined all his expectations on what actual big birds are like.
Justin asked Katie if she thinks a musical based on Silence of the Lambs is serious. Spoiler alert: it's a parody.
The first time he saw it, he was 12 and it was on TV and therefore censored.
Justin was talking about they couldn't show the shark in Jaws because the animatronic shark kept fucking up and it's so much scarier because of that.
Katie was talking about Holes and how the lizards were played by bearded dragons painted to look like frilled gila monsters. I told her she needs to see Night of the Lepus and its bunnies romping around a model town and guys in unconvincing bunny costumes.
When all their friends are nice and bored, Justin holds Studio Ghibli-thons.
Somebody had a chameleon with her.
