Apr. 18th, 2005 09:47 pmJust brewed a full pot of coffee instead of setting the timer for it to brew in the morning.
Ergh.
M'girl has come up with the brilliant suggestion of freezing it and using it for blendy iced coffee drinks when it gets hot. Because she is S-M-R-T like that.
I have, in my head, Nancy on the phone with her grandmother. "Because you are a horrible old woman, that's why. You're trying to make me feel guilty. ... no, no I'm not. Not in the slightest. ... You're not dying right now, are you?" I think they're arguing about grandchildren. And Nancy knows more French than Vietnamese these days, but she can still swear in Cantonese with the best of 'em.
Also in my head, teenage half-orphaned Alice fighting with her middle sister over her (the sister's) nose-ring. And there is shouting, and ill-spoken "You're not Mom, so stop trying to be her!" and throwing of dishes, and sitting crying on the kitchen floor alone.
I think it all fits in with the snippet of fic where Marilyn Germaine shows up on Alice's doorstep at one in the morning, and bullies her into going out to look for her crack-addict sister Ellie. (The thing you have to realize if you haven't seen the show, is that Marilyn and Ellie are both in their sixties...)
Of course, my head also contains Alice and Nancy doing laundry, and Nancy sorting everything exactly, and being all indignant and shocked when Alice tosses the handwash-only stuff in on delicate cycle in a pillowcase, because that's not what the label says. And also, Pamela Menon going out and getting drunk with David Kaye after the whole engagement thing at the end of first season, and complaning to each other about men.
In conclusion, (though I realize that it has nothing to do with what came before), sometimes Nancy reminds me a lot of Anya. Except for the bunny-phobia.
