overheard on Riverside Drive

[ellenkushner]

Ellen: Do you have the address of the friend we're seeing tonight?
Delia: No, but I'm sure it's in our email somewhere.
Ellen: I just wondered if you'd pulled it up and printed it out in advance.
Delia: Yes, well, that alternate universe is not the one we're living in right now.

Man, I want to live in that alternate universe.

You mean the one where Ellen is not responsible for always knowing where we're going and how to get there?

Me, too!

Ooooo. I'm not touching *that* comment! *g*

otoh, in my house, I am definitely the one who is always responsible for knowing where we're going and how to get there . . . . hmmm.

Overheard by whom? The cat? And *why did you give the cat your LJ password?!?* This can't end well.

See, there was a Romulan ship, and it distracted her. In the other universe, with no Romulan ship, she totally remembered to print it out.

The next lj post in my list is a picture of a squirrel eating a nut.
My husband commented "Ah, the squirrel has found a nut," and thought it was an appropriate response to your post.
And I am the one responsible for knowing who, what, where, when, why, and even how on occasion. That's why *I* have the organizer on the computer and the pda - now with cut and paste for e-mails. And also why I picked out our GPS device. Men don't ask for directions either.

You overheard that? Who are these people? (And how did you know their names?)

(Just kidding. Obviously.)

I love you both.

See, this is the advantage of living with an SFF writer. The excuses get truly creative.

My wife is alwyas amazed as I go on business trips to faraway places (sadly always in the Continental US and often to Houston, which really should be another country) and never look up addresses until I get there.

Or go out to a movie or dinner and know that is it somewhere around there.

Sad, but true. I figure if I get lost it caqn be an adventure.

I must need excitement in my life.

Like the one in which I didn't unscrew the lid to the salad dressing, forget about it, then pick it up and give it a vigorous shake, spraying dressing all over myself and my computer & making my workplace smell like vinegar? Yes, I've been in that universe.

We have that conversation too. Often when we're en route to wherever it is we think we're going.
