The Federal government in a nutshell

[evadne_noel]

So apparently, the feds decided it was worth their time and effort to send an actual agent to my apartment,* but not to return either of the calls I made requesting they tell me what the hell is going on.

I feel this is typical.

Oh, well. If it was important, I would know by now. I just hope my neighbor isn’t a spy.

*Admittedly, I live just outside

I hope you are all picturing a be-suited, be-sunglasses-ed dude traveling across the Canadian wilderness accompanied by a Labrador, a bull terrier and a Siamese cat now, because I totally am.

Well, I am NOW.

Though, really, that description makes me think of Homeward Bound, since I never saw the original Incredible Journey.

Also, this icon is relevant, because in Homeward Bound, there's a scene where the kids are playing the game this icon is from. :D

[evadne_noel]

See, my problem is that I read the book before I saw the movie, so I always think of it as "Incredible Journey", but I picture the animals from "Homeward Bound." Celebrity voices and all.

[evadne_noel]

Lol, I love that movie, but I don't remember any of the dialogue. That's quite a talent.

Man, I hope it wasn't Jack Bauer.

I was thinking about Maine. I really have no idea why.

[evadne_noel]

Maine: also home to vast wilderness for animals and Secret Services agents to get lost in.

So they talked to you? But you don't know what's going on?

[evadne_noel]

Nah, they haven't deigned to call me back, though I left messages.

Homeward Bound...ahh, my entire childhood. The memories, the memories...

I live right outside DC too! You know Silver Spring?

[evadne_noel]

It's still an awesome movie.

I haven't been the AFI in ages, but I totally know where Silver Spring is.

[grubby_tap]

Oh, I've never been to the AFI in my life and I've been living 20 minutes away from that part of town for about 12 years. It's cool finding someone so close by.
