Sweet grapes

Another Spring, another example of the Lad fleeing my society to spend a few weeks hotfooting it around Europe with a bunch of dudes. I think it's nice for him to get some guy time, especially now that he

GAY! GAY!

lives with a girl fulltime and everything.

While he's gone I plan to do all the things I can't do around him. Those flannel sheets are coming off the bed, for starters, and if you think I won't be eating chips in bed, well, think again. Also, I might just have a Buffy marathon. Then there's sex with other guys, and also if I want to leave my shoes lying all over the carpet to be tripped on, you better believe I'm gonna do it.

In all seriousness, I think it's nice for him to have this trip. It's not every year that a Star Wars (tm) film is released, and it deserves

NERD! NERD!

a little fanfare. So all kidding aside, I'm glad he's going; it'll be nice for me to have a little time alone to work on term papers and re-watch all the episodes of Firefly and so on. Lad, have a great time in the mother country. Just make sure you bring me back a present.

You should take a look at this pen of mine. The tip is so thick.

The sun is out and across the paddock a child's head bobs up and down above the shed -- trampolining in the English countryside. Her Lad spies some cows grazing in the field opposite. 'Are those cows your godparents'?' he asks.
'No... Let's attach a funny comment to Carthage's entry about Gene's going to Europe being gay and nerdy.'
'Okay... What should we write...?'
...
...
(Kid's head. Kid's head. Kid's head.)
'Come on Gene, you're funny. What should we write...?'
...
...
(Cow's head. Cow's head. Cow's head.)
Beat. 'Smart cows.'
...
...
(Kid's head. Cow's head. Kid's head.)
Another beat. 'Mad cows.'

I love you guys! I take it back, you are not gay nerds. I got a downright poetic description of your evening from Gene and now I am forced to be openly jealous.

'Should we respond with another funny comment?'
'I dunno, dude, you can do whatever the fuck you want.'
'Well, you weren't a lotta help last time!'
'I know, dude, what can I say?... ... ... Holy shit, that kid is still on the fuckin' trampoline!'
