wondering...

Since when did films begin to 'drop'? I always thought that they 'opened'.

But then again, maybe it is a better description given the mushroom cloud of marketing we endure when they do.

I was very happy to find that I am too young to enjoy Its Complicated.

Last night was the beginning of Sunday Roast Night, a new tradition that is completely ours and has never, ever been done by anyone else. How could it? Roast on a Sunday? How perfectly original.

But anyway.

It turns out that roasting is no quick cook meal. It takes awhile.

*sigh*

So while we waited for the oven to work it's magic we started another new tradition, playing Scatergories While Waiting for Things to Cook. Here is my award winning* answer sheet. It disturbs me that I knew more sports than books.

Despite a bitter defeat, Nicky decided she hadn't had enough of word games and created a little table poetry.

Rumour has it that next month's Sunday Roast Night will actually be homemade Nutloaf roast. I'm not sure of the cooking time on nutloaf but I do hope I'll be able to improve my Scategories game.

*I did not actually win an award. In fact I did not even win.
** The Warren Zevon LP served as a classy place mat when I discovered I had no Traditional Sunday Roast place mats. He was joined by Bette Midler and Tom Jones.

the dubious use of 3 words I now know

nonjuror - someone who refuses to take a required oath, as of allegiance.
'The Scoutmaster swore quietly under his breath when the young boy turned out to be a nonjuror and would not make the Scout Promise.'

occipital - of or relating to the back of the head.
'Sparks flew when the woman discovered he had an occipital fetish as she had just gotten an undercut.'

malediction - a curse; the utterance of a curse.
'The Scoutmaster's malediction was much louder when some of the older boys proved to be drunk on sherry.'

why?

Why is the sun perfectly sunny and the air perfectly warm but my list of things to do imperfectly long?
