Full of surprises

[ebana]

So yesterday, there I was minding my own, when I get a call from a bird on a plane telling me that she's come through after all and would be visiting soon rather than heading straight for LA, like I told her. My son Klaus, who was sitting on my lap at the time watching cartoons, must have seen the excitement on daddy's face. As soon as I closed

Your post is almost entirely about me and I even get to comment to it first dreamysigh. Will return in a few minutes for a real comment that isn't just me sighing a lot.

[ebana]

Or just get off your laptop and come out of the room and talk to me.

I swear, no one just talks to each other these days.

Don't worry, Rebecca seems to be playing nice for now.

[r_byrne]

*grins* Or I could do that.

[Do you have AIM available to you right now?]

[ebana]

Hahaha. The perils of the electronic age.

[I don't. Currently at work, and will be still unavailable for a few hours after I get off in about 45]

[dianekruger]

You're both coming to LA??!!

[ebana]

That's the plan. Most likely. I've already talked to the missus and she agrees that me taking small vacation might be a good idea. It really depends on a few things though.

[dianekruger]

What does it depend on?

And whoa...your wife has a journal?

[ebana]

How Brian is doing before I leave...and whether or not I have something else booked by my management at the last minute. Not that I'm anticipating...but I guess I never know.

I guess she does now. Interesting, no?

[brian_vanholt]

I'm sorry that's how you had to find out. I tried calling a couple of times from the hospital but there was no answer... and I tried again yesterday but Rebecca picked up and I wasn't ready to "face" her. I'm just not very coherant or thoughtful right now. I hope you forgive me?

[ebana]

My phone keeps turning off by itself. I thought that might have been the problem. I'm going today to buy a new one because it's ridiculous that someone I care about could have an injury and me not be available to contact.

I'm the one who's sorry. I would have come immediately if I would have known.

I understand about Rebecca completely. No worries mate, the air is pretty clear around here.

[brian_vanholt]

I knew it had to be something like that. Or you were just very busy or something.

I know you would have. If I could have left a message I knew you would be here.

That's good to hear. I wasn't sure if there were some kind of awkwardness between us. She and I used to get along so well.

[ebana]

I wouldn't ever be too busy to see you if you'd gotten hurt.

I'd understand not wanting to leave a message at home. Maybe the voicemail on my mobile is on the fritz too. Might have to get a new carrier altogether. Bloody things.

I can't promise there won't be awkwardness, mate, but that will go away with time. I'm sure she still likes you.

I SPY ERIC BANA.

[ebana]

That is quite possibly your best icon ever. Between you, me, and Rose we may have the market cornered on excitement.

Are you in Los Angeles as well?

[h_christensen]

Ah, yes, but I believe mine has the best keyword. Not that your exclamation points aren't appreciated but...

Yes, as a matter of fact I am.

[ebana]

You might have me beat on the keyword of that icon, but this one might beat all.

Good. Then will I see you at Orli's on Saturday?

[rebecca_bana]

Hey.

[ebana]

OMGWTFBBQ

[rebecca_bana]

Well thanks!

[ebana]

Just a little surprised, love. I guess I've been spending enough time here that you'd wonder what all the hubbub was about.

I guess this can only help get things out in the open...
