Call and Answer

You can get it at some url or another if you're up to that kind of thing. I bought it because I went, and it's a souvenir of the concert for me. The best quote? "It's beer! It's here! Get used to it!" (I guess that's what we get for having Coors here, huh?)

My house guest is gone. We had to pay her first month's rent, but it was worth it for our sanity. I had a huge post written out earlier and closed the tab (on purpose). I was thinking (on the way to work) that I should come up with a list of house rules. But the people who need a list of rules that essentially say "act like a human being, and don't be rude" are no longer allowed in my house. For example, rule 3 was about going out to dinner, and how you're supposed to use basic etiquette, like not licking your plate (yes, this actually happened), etc.

I shouldn't have to tell adults this kind of thing. So I won't.

As I told my mom this weekend, all of my brothers have jobs. The 2 who are in post-secondary school, the one in high school, and the youngest who is in a vocational training program. I would bet all of them know all of the rules I'd set out as a result of the bullshit we've gone through.

How people raised by the same mother and father can be so different... maybe it's that Ben takes after his dad, and doesn't believe that "God will provide, so I don't have to lift a finger". He believes in working for a living, although he also believes that our society should support artists more. And had houseguest actually produced anything while she stayed, and had she treated us and our house and our tools with a modicum of respect, she could probably have stayed.

Plate licking

[turg]

I heard a story once from an acquaintance that when she was a (PhD) student, she and her roommates got into the habit of licking their plates clean to make doing the dishes easier.

One day she was out to dinner at a restaurant with the faculty and grad students of her department. A while after she finished eating, she looked down at her plate to see that it had been licked completely clean -- though she didn't remember doing it at all.

I guess, if you're a poor college student, it makes some possible sense to do so, but it's kinda creepy to do that out in public.

I'm just happy to have my house and my routines back. I suspect that I am, as they say "on the spectrum". When my routines are shaken up, I get very anxious.
