Today is the Fleadh at last!
I haven't actually gotten my ticket yet, but since I doubt it will sell out, it being hard to sell out an outdoor festival, I decided to buy the ticket at the door in order to avoid Ticketmaster surcharges.
Too bad there'll be no Billy Bragg or Squeeze or Great Big Sea this year, let alone the fact that it's only one day rather than two, but it looks like a gas anyway.
Conversations during the basketball game last night:
Me: "Look at them, they're wearing skirts! I like it when they show clips from the seventies and the guys are wearing those little hotpants. As they should!"
Cynthia: "That's one great thing about John Stockton, he's the only guy in the NBA who knows how to wear his shorts."
Me: "Wears 'em short, does he?"
Cynthia: "Yeah, he wears them so that they look like, well, shorts!"
Me: "Look at those things, they look like culottes! No, skorts, that's what they're wearing!"
Fran: "Good D!"
Me: (pause in silent confusion)
Fran: "Good D! Of course, that was an easy defense."
Me: "O, you mean defense!"
Fran: "No, I meant good deportment, what did you think I meant?"
Me: "Well, actually I thought you were talking about some guy named D! Hell, I don't know, I don't watch basketball!"
Me: "Wasn't that traveling? What is the rule now, 43 steps is okay but they nail you on the 44th?"
Fran: "That's a very good question."
Me: "Great good heavens, really? I wasn't even trying!"
As you can see, I'm a little distracting to watch basketball with!
I got many answers to my "What the fuck are board shorts?" questions yesterday, mostly from Australians, as they are apparently real surfer apparel, not invented for the current commercials, but the best answer came from Matt (hey! Another journal spouse!) who said:
"I think that board shorts are the next step in Old Navy's plans on putting people in the most repulsive clothing possible and making a quick buck."
Mystery solved!
Today's horoscope:
Fun with friends is in focus. Your children (and/or your inner child) enjoy lighthearted activities with other people today.
One year ago today:
"I want a kitten!"
