Conversations as of late

[daemonluna]

troutkitty is reading SG:A kidfic. (A Beautiful Lifetime Event by astolat, specifically. Which, to borrow a word from queenzulu, is blerking brilliant.)

I went out tonight to take back some library books and say hi to a friend who works at the closest branch.

Me: Back soon, just going to the library.

My girl, looking up all wide-eyed: I wanna baby.

Me: I'd bring you one, but all the babies at the library will belong to someone else who's not us.

My girl: Wanna baby.

(Needless to say, I did not come home with a baby. Or with any more books, but that was only in part due to the thirty or so I've got out that need to be read before they're due back, and mostly because I forgot my wallet.)

Now she's demanding more fic. Oh, dear.

Conversation from last Wednesday, or, a recounting of ming_lei's talk about reincarnation with her mother:

"Why are people always Chinese in their past lives? Couldn't you come back as a Swedish person?"

"Hell, no! Chinese person or bust! ... Or an animal."

"A Chinese animal? Like a horse? Couldn't you be a Swedish horse?" (insert bad Swedish accent here) "I am a horse from Sweden!"

... yeah. Maybe you had to be there. We also got to watch the police come and all. The one guy couldn't pay his two hundred dollar tab, and at one point, made a break for it up the stairs before the manager dragged him back. And then they took him out in cuffs because they found drug paraphenalia on him.

Usually, Wednesday nights aren't quite THAT eventful.

On aminor sidenote, I have all three parts of Fingersmith now! Yay! (queenzulu, want me to wait to watch it until you can come see it, too?)

We'll be at the Elephant and Castle, downtown. I hope it's a less eventful evening than last time, if only for the sake of our poor waitress--still, would be good to see you!

That would be so traumatizing. ;_;

What time do you guys usually start gathering?

[daemonluna.livejournal.com]

Mmm... depends. There's usually somebody there by six--most of the time, it's Renata, and sometimes Dan. We usually get there between six and seven, depending on whether or not we're eating at home or there.
