In a Jetsons-style kitchen with George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, I pick up on some tension between the two brothers ( Read more... )

I like the way your mind works. Sorry about A-Rod.

Re: nickelchief February 20 2004, 07:53:32 UTC

A-Rod belongs with the Yankees. It's only natural. Besides, what would a baseball season be for us Boston fans without plentiful reasons to feel sulky and annoyed? We survive on chowder and complaints.

How very French New Wave Cinema. Reminiscent of Robbe-Grillet, methinks. :)

Re: nickelchief February 20 2004, 07:55:27 UTC

I have to admit I didn't know who Robbe-Grillet was, but a couple of quick Googlies and I see that one of his films is "a detective story with changing perspectives and abundant descriptions of natural objects such as a tomato wedge."

Yup, that sounds about right.

Oh my god.

Now try it: I am GWB! I am two white pillows on Jeb Bush's face! I am a mixing bowl soon to contain three bean salad, yum! I am a rejected 1998 Camry! Aieeeee!

All right, so I can carry this a little too far.

Um, Fredo?

Michael: Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

Hmmmm. Am I missing something? I mean, I'm missing a lot of things, admittedly, just -

The Godfather, Part II. Puts a whole spin on the Jeb/Dubya thing.

when i hit the three-bean salad, i began to grin. the camry made me laugh. how funny!

Re: nickelchief February 20 2004, 11:33:12 UTC

I was just so annoyed that Jeb was in the way of that bowl. It was so inconvenient.

And in the dream, the bit about the Camry was actually very sad. I woke up thinking, "what a sad dream," but as soon as I started composing this little post in my head, it became comedic. I think I thrive on absurdities.

Re: daisydumont February 20 2004, 13:08:43 UTC

i'm surprised i didn't catch the sadness (am much prone to it myself, dreaming and awake), but maybe as you say the comedic had come to the fore, so i'll let myself off the hook. scarlett's a fool, btw. :)

Re: nickelchief February 20 2004, 13:27:03 UTC

O no no you missed nothing, I didn't mean to imply you misread my tone, for I presented it as a kind of absurd comic tale, which it is in the telling.

It's interesting how a very sad or scary dream becomes hilarious the next day.

So you're saying you wouldn't break up with me because of my 1998 Camry? *sigh of relief* I have such good friends.
