You might as well replace the names with Sheldon and Leonard. Or something.
Jeremy: Your ear is pointed on the inside. (pause while turning my head) Both of them are pointed! You have pointed ears, on the insides.
Jori: I am 1/16th Vulcan.
Jeremy: On which side?
Jori: Dad's.
Jeremy: Oh. I can see that.
And then we were both quiet, because we were watching Beneath the Planet of the Apes, the second installment in our recent Planet of the Apes-athon. So. Is that, or the later (much longer) conversation we had about the theory behind the Planet of the Apes, nerdier?

I mean I ran. Running with thousands of people is unbelievable. I went home for The Race for the Cure and it was just exactly as awesome as I remember. No, more awesome, because this year (in a lapse of judgment) I agreed to sign up for the competitive run. What I originally thought was a tragic mistake actually turned out to be a pleasant surprise of epic proportion. Running with that many people is exciting and addictive and challenging and I quite like it.
3. Lunch
It was supposed to be a sardine pasta salad with cucumbers and fresh herbs, but I chickened out upon opening the can and playing around with the sardine chunks for a few minutes. Oh, I enjoyed removing the fish spines and playing with them and being all in awe of skeletons in general. But when it came to adding the oily, still-having-skin-on fish bits to something I was going to actually consume, all bets were off and I opened a can of trusty albacore instead. And it was extremely delicious. It was like eating an herb garden.
Oh and on a related note: Food photography is no easy task. I was going to fatly post about some brownies I made last week, but the accompanying photographs were so disappointingly lame and terrible that I abandoned the effort.
