I'm afraid I'll forget all this.

Extreme dubiousness

My roommate is dating a guy who buys her stuff. Like, clothes and furniture. Here's a quote from her earlier today: "I mean, I have my doubts about this relationship, but it can't be that casual, right? He bought me a chair!"

I certainly have my doubts about this relationship. Even if it is that easy to impress you, shouldn't dignity suggest that you conceal it?

She's on the phone with him right now cutely, in theory, making fun of his English, which isn't his first language. Does that seem weird and patronizing to any of you? It's not really the same as, like, poking fun at someone's Southern accent, or their weird proclivity for putting ketchup on eggs. I think I may puke. Yeah, that was definitely a chunk.

You think you have problems?

My wife made pot roast for dinner last night. During yesterday day, I could map out in my mind exactly what was going to happen when I arrived home.
I would look at the pot roast and ask my wife if she did not think the liquid portion should be thickened up a little. She would say, "I don't know, what do you think?" I would say, "Sure," at which point I would mix some corn starch and cold water together and then add it to the pot roast.

Sure enough when I arrived home last night it played out exactly as I predicted. One of these days my life is going to get really crazy and I am going to arrive home to find that my pot roast has been pre-thickened.
