iPOD Faux pa

My sister Becky hates computers....but loves her IPOD. I mean ..... LOVES her IPOD. It's all she uses. It's how she surfs the net, facebooks and emails.

I'm sitting in the living room with my laptop and she wants to know what the weather will be for the next few days, so I google the weather on my laptop and take it over to her to look at. I sit back down and look over....and she is dragging her finger across my screen trying to make it scroll like her IPOD. I don't have a touch screen....she knows this. My niece and nephew are sitting here with us...and now they start watching her as she continues to try and make my screen scroll. We are all trying very hard not to laugh....we are enjoying the moment too much.

Now this may not sound as funny as it was....but it's dark and in the glow from the laptop screen we see her facial expression as she becomes more and more perturbed with the uncooperative screen as she drags her finger over and over it. Finally I can't take it any more and crack up. Through my laughter I try to coherantly tell her it's not her IPOD.

The look on her face was priceless.

Man I needed a good laugh and I appreciate Becky letting me have one at her expense. Although she threatened me with my life if I blogged about it......

Vampires at the Blood Bank

So I'm at the blood bank, hooked up with a line in my arm and watching the DVD they have playing for donors to watch which happens to be "Twilight". The irony of watching of a vampire moving while giving blood makes me smile. I love irony. I loved the following conversation even more:

Male attendant:
So what's the big deal with Edward, nobody thought he was hot when he was in Harry Potter!

Female attendant:
I don't know, he's just hot....like mysterious and stuff.

Male attendant:
So a dead guy that sucks your blood is hot...yeah...you girls are crazy and man I just don't understand what you all want. You say you want a good guy...but every girl I know is going crazy over this bloodsucker...whatever....(exasperated - throwing hands up).

Female attendant:
No! Dude it's the mystery! It's the power! Not that he's dead....geez! He's like all in love with her and wants to protect her and he's really powerful and willing to risk anything for her! He loves her unconditionally!! That's really hot!

Male attendant:
Whatever...like we mortal men can compete against that.

Female attendant:
See you just don't get it, it's not his looks so much, even though he is hot....it's the way he treats her, he's respectful, he's protective, he's kind and sweet.....

Male attendant:
Ummm.....and he kills people!!!

Female attendant:
Umm....no! Edward doesn't! Gawd! (she stomps off)

Male attendant:
(Turns to me) What do women want?

I just smiled.
He wasn't listening very well. Typical man.




Yes, I love irony.
