My dad is just...awesome. So awesome. Conversation:

Dala: Hey, are you making yourself a salad for lunch tomorrow?
Dad: I'm making a peanut butter sandwich.
Dala: Could you make me one too, please? I can't eat fast food every day like this.
Dad: Crunchy or smooth?
Dala: Smooth. The Skippy I brought back from school.
Dad: You want an apple to go with it?
Dala: Sure.
Dad: How about some of my fruit? I've got pineapples and raisins.
Dala: No, that's okay.
Dad: Animal crackers?
Dala: No, it's okay.
Dad: You want me to put it in a bag, leave it out for you?
Dala: No, you can just leave it in the fridge, I don't work till 3:00.

(half an hour later)
Dad (yelling down from kitchen): You want some cut-up carrots and celery?
Dala: No thanks, Daddy, the sandwich is okay.
Dad: I put out an apple, too.
Dala: Thank you.

Really. Sometimes life is...it could be so much worse. I'm not one of those people who says that all the time, but it could. What did I do to deserve this?

*blink* So inarticulate tonight. I meant to get some writing done, but I'm thinking better not. Next on the plate is the empath!Norrington fic that [livejournal.com profile] hannahrorlove implanted in my brain. Jameswank! Then a bunny from the Kiltverse that hit me dead on this morning, then once I've gotten all that out of my system, back to the no-longer-mids-no-long-OT3.

Speaking of the Kiltverse bunny, and because I'm bored, a poll and a question, if you will.

[Poll #492228]

I was too young when all these decade classics were made to really remember the experience of them, so maybe y'all can come up with a better choice.

And the question: anybody know an expensive or high-end brand of lube? Something Jack would have barrels of. Not literally, obviously. That would be awkward.
Music:: "we used to be friends," the dandy warhols
Mood:: 'grateful' grateful

who knows that actor's name, anyhow?
Me. It is Michael Schoeffling. He is now a carpenter in Pennsylvania.

Gotta be Bowie <3 Everybody loves Bowie, plus Labyrinth is so cool with the Escher staircases *grin*

Unless, of course, he was into Top Gun in which case either Tom Cruise or Val Kilmer (I never realised those two films were the same year! I was convinced Top Gun was a year later or something...)

This? Is so right and so something I have never thought of before. Looking forward to reading it!

I don't have the answer. I just wanted to let you know that this rocks. I laughed. Then I couldn't explain it to my roommate. So I laughed again.

He could keep a keg in every room, with convenient "E-Z Access" taps.

I've never seen Labyrinth, but I vote Bowie on principle.

How old is Kilted!Will supposed to be, anyway? If he's old enough to have had crushes on guys from mid-Eighties movies, I'd think that would make him around 30 now, but he seems younger in the stories.

A bit younger -- 26, 27ish. He might just be old enough to have caught them on TV.

On the lubricant question, Wet's pretty good stuff and you can at least buy it by the gallon. Quite possibly in even larger quantities if you ask especially. Or are a very good customer. 8)

Oh, and a gallon runs ~$100. If that's at all useful.

Otherwise, ID Glide also comes in gallons and runs ~$90.

[Oh, and the pricing above was for Wet Platinum. Either Wet or ID is good stuff, though. Cheers.]

Y're welcome. Quite, really. I mean, I can vouch for the quality of the lubes from personal experience and a quick google search got me sizes and prices(as I knew they came in LARGE, but was fuzzy on exactly how much that constituted) and I'm always glad to put my more nefarious knowledges to good use.
