"What kind of bird are YOU?"

I'm writing this because I'm taking a brief break from all the multiple choices that are staring at me right now, or because I feel like it.

Nothing much has happened lately, except that

-(Almost too) many people got/are getting married;

-Blake is carrying on with my unfinished career as the newbie(!) RA and just went through his first day of training;

-We are blasting through the first season of Rome;

-We watched Moonrise Kingdom and I'm thinking of revisiting Fantastic Mr. Fox;

-I loosely followed the breakups and the hiccups of Katie/Tom (meh), Jolie/Brad (yay), Kim/Kanye (sham);

-We are starting to brew homemade ice tea and relishing the exclusive possession of our fridge;

-We paid our bills and car insurance;

-The Odwalla chocolate protein drink is finally back in stock after its two-month absence from the grocery stores and vending machines;

-We are looking forward to life after the bar exam.

Also, finally--



To make life somewhat more bearable, I found lines from Moonrise that made me laugh.


Mrs. Bishop: "Walt, where the hell are you?"
Mr. Bishop: "I'm right here. Why are you cursing at me?"
Mrs. Bishop: "Does it concern that your daughter has just run away from home?"
Mr. Bishop: "That's a loaded question."


Cousin Ben (to Suzy and Sam): "I can't offer you a legally binding union. It won't hold up in the state, the county or frankly any courtroom in the world due to your age, lack of license and failure to get parental consent. But, the ritual does carry a very important moral weight within yourselves. You can't enter into this lightly. Look into my eyes: Do you love each other?"
Suzy: "Yes, we do."
Cousin Ben: "Think about what I'm saying, are you sure you're ready for this?"
Suzy: "Yes, we are."
Cousin Ben: "They're not listening to me. Let me rephrase it..."
Suzy: "We're in a hurry."
Cousin Ben: "Are you chewing...spit out the gum sister. In fact everybody." (Everyone spits out gum) "I don't like the snappy attitude. This is the most important decision you've made in your lives. Go over by that trampoline and talk it through before you give me another quick answer."


Chop A Tree

Mr. Bishop (to his children): "I'll be out back. I'm gonna find a tree to chop down."

Bird

Sam (to Suzy): "What kind of bird are YOU?"
