Intelligent conversation.

A back and forth between the hubs and I on Sunday:

Me: Was I having the conversation with you about Back to the Future the other day?

Him: No.

Me: “The Future” was supposed to be in 2015 in that movie. So much for hovercars and skateboards, eh?

Him: (laughs) Yeah, I guess so. It’s stupid though. They should have hoverboards by now.

Me: You’d think.

Him: We used to think when the movie came out that they really did exist and they were just keeping them secret. I mean, why don’t they really have hoverboards? It can’t be that hard.

Me: Because they’d need to harness jet propulsion on a really small scale and that’s probably really hard.

(Sidenote: Am I not the biggest nerd in the world? Even typing out what I said makes me feel like I should tape a “Kick Me” sign to my own back.)

Him: They should get the world’s top scientists on this. Get them off the oil spill and put them on building hoverboards.

Me: They’d probably build a hoverboard faster than they can figure out how to stop the oil spill.

Him: True dat.

Life.

I know, it’s one of those lame “apologizing for not posting” posts. I’m just so busy and when I’m not busy working or cleaning or changing one of the 7 daily poopy diapers Abbers is giving us lately, I’m just sitting. And not doing anything. BECAUSE IT FEELS GOOD.

I really do want/need to be posting more. I have lots to tell you, oh dear internets. So hold tight. I’m going to make the hubs help me out so I can gets to blogging more.

Hey y’all! I’m back and have many stories to tell. In the meantime, enjoy the recap of Twitter posts I had while I was gone. (A better post with thoughts lasting longer than 140 words is forthcoming. Old Bessie (aka our laptop) is totally on it’s last legs, so my work compy and my phone are my only posting options. SO not cool.)

Off to the airport in futuristic light rail fashion. On my way to Satan’s Pants AKA Phoenix. #satanspants 3:25 PM Jun 10th via twidroid

Salma Hayek’s Snake-Induced Freak-Out

I had to share this because…really? It’s too funny. If I didn’t think Salma Hayek probably swallowed about 30 valium to get over this, I’d think it was fake. I don’t think she’s ever acted as scared as she physically was in this clip.

Salma Hayek’s Snake-Induced Freak-Out – MamaPop.com.

In other news, I leave for the airport in just over an hour. Be sure to tune into Twitter over the weekend while I document my trip in random increments and at 140 characters at a time! Short Attention Span people – unite!

(Rememeber Short Attention Span theater? What was that from? Off to investigate.)

Just because.
