  1. Tells you that either 1) English isn't the writer's primary language, or 2) the writer hasn't read many stories with kids or young adults as the protagonist. Or 3), the writer is trying to show off how many fancy words they know.
  2. I'm reading a story on Nifty called Distant Thunder. It's about a twenty-something guy who has a familial obligation to host his eighteen-year-old cousin (just out of high school) at his "art studio" for the summer. Well, it's really just an old caravan that he rents for about $90 a month. They're located on Pamlico Sound, which is my dream vacation destination. So, I'm enjoying the story, but it could be better. Sometimes, the younger man sounds like Bridget Bellevue from Circumnavigation. "Is he 18 or 80?" I ask myself.
  3. Hey, Albert.
  4. Hey, Clo. Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle on his belly* Hey, Thorn. Hey, Val. Hey, Randy. Hey, Gary.
  5. Knew you'd find a way to plug that. You always do.
  6. Sort of like that short film, Benny's Gym. A real case of art imitating life? This one has so many unanswered questions.
  7. Hey, Froggy. Missed you.
  8. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan and Ash!
  9. Okay, bye, guys! I might show up again later, or tomorrow morning. Depends on what happens during the movie.
  10. Just checking up on you guys while Morgan is in the bathroom.
  11. Basil, oregano, sage, and thyme are always nice. And chives are incredibly easy to care for.
  12. It went well. We're about to watch the movie now.
  13. Bucket has been maligned. He's an Australian gentleman, he'd never poop (or pee) on anyone! Not even a kitty.
  14. Our minds are flying away, aren't they?
  15. Hey, Bumble B.
  16. Almost, but that lightbulb isn't quite screwed in tight enough.
  17. Hey, Bob. Are the boys doing anything special for Valentine's Day?
  18. Here's the trailer for the movie.
  19. Sounds delicious.
  20. We're making lemon-butter chicken, risotto, watercress salad, and molten chocolate cake. After that, we're watching A Little Romance on DVD.
  21. Happy Valentine's Day, Albert! Any plans for you and Steve?
  22. I should start dinner now. Later!
  23. I'm looking forward to walking on the beach with Morgan this summer.
  24. Most of the reviews on Yelp are in the 4 or 5-star range. My guess is they're mostly written by people looking for a change from the Golden Arches.
