“I know how you feel….
…. A chicken once beat me at tic-tac-toe.”
Never take an Anthropologist who’s punch drunk on theory to watch The Simpsons Movie. Apparently, it makes them feel less unusual round the edges, and, dare I say, nearly sane.
The walk home was punctuated by his repeating this gem of a line, and dissolving into helpless giggles. However, I think that the end is beginning to be in sight for the PhD, so that’s good. And, I’ll overlook the weirdness. ‘Snot as if I’m his girlfriend. Just a friend. He’s well aware that he’s behaving in a somewhat unhinged manner, so there’s nothing to worry about. Yet: if he were unaware, then there would be something seriously amiss. As it is, I think he just doesn’t care particularly, and is enjoying all the flashes of creativity, and making up seriously silly and obscene songs on the spot.
There is also something very nice about going to the cinema with someone who really doesn’t care about laughing out loud, laughing long and hard. It was so much more fun that way. I laughed. Happily.
Wish I knew if my Sockpal had received her socks. I sent them ages ago: but… she’s not confirmed their arrival. Am considering signing up to be a Sock Savior.

When I was in graduate school, my classmates and I would watch marathon sessions of the Simpsons. Doing a PhD does unhinge a person, part of the reason I decided I had had enough of the process! Once someone finishes, they do somewhat recover. I’m so addicted to sock patterns at the moment that I have volunteered to be a sock savior.
You must admit…that was a great line, although the delivery is what made it great. I must say, I don’t believe that I have seen a picture of you prior to today. You are simply stunning. You make me wish I was much younger, very single and living in the UK. Have a better one, my dear. Pale
