Beah and I are facing away from each other, looking at our computers, doing very important work to improve the Internet. You’re welcome.
Beah: How was the meteor shower?
Me: It was nice.
Beah: Was it beautiful?
Me: It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
[pause]
Me: Beah, turn around.
Beah and I turn around and face each other. I look into Beah’s eyes, and feel compelled to revise my previous statement.
Me: It was the second most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Voice from another room: Um, please don’t turn in the microwave!

Nelson: [explaining to me] The microwave interferes with the wireless and creates lag.

Father, to son: “You have to be quiet until 10 after to get a dollar.”
If that were true for everyone, I’d be so rich.
Cab driver: “It’s gonna be hefty.”
Mike: [giggles]
Me: What?
Mike: Just watching a video of someone getting hit in the head with a football.
Mike: [giggles]
Mike: Okay, one more time.
The cube next to me has spent their day building what I believe will soon be a huge Ferris wheel with K’NEX. I love K’NEX. As a kid, I spent hours constructing the roller coaster, ball factory, training tower, and others. I just looked at their website, and have decided that I’m going to take the “I’m an adult now and I can do whatever I want” approach and order some of the new stuff.
