Oh my god there's more of her.

I've just met Mum's oldest friend and her husband, and so much about my mother is explained. I love her to bits but she's...strange, we are a strange family, and now I know we are not alone. Because her BFF, god love her, is exactly like my mother. It's cool, just...wow. Down to the fascination for tote bags.

But as it turns out Mum's BFF's husband works in the same field I do, so we've been discussing the concerns of the day while Mum and BFF catch up. I feel like the gentlemen just left to have brandy and cigars and the women are adjourning to the parlor.

Also we ate dinner at a restaurant full of bears.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The women retire to the drawing room. The men hang out at the dining table drinkin' and smokin' after the table cloth is pulled back. Then they join the ladies in the drawing room. You know this, Sam!

I blame the brandy :D

That's so very ...... Edmund Kemper of you.

Sorry. I read all the wrong books.

Because why not!

LOL. Oh Marilyn.

You're probably lucky my Mum lives here in Australia. Who knows what would happen should THREE of them be in close proximity.

I have no idea, but it would probably end up needing the Doctor to fix...

Okay, it's official. Your life is actually a work of fiction by someone who really, really enjoys narrative symmetry and is just good enough at it not to let you realize. ;D

I expect you know we all want you to expand on the "restaurant full of bears" remark when you do your I Went To Vegas recap post. ;-) Hopefully with pictures? (I am struck by that remark's similarity to the phenomenon, by some called "vaguebooking" when done on Facebook, where a person will make a weird and cryptic post precisely in order to elicit requests for elaboration - but, like the hypothetical writer of your life above, you're good enough to pull it off. Also we know you're likely to explain whether we ask or not, unless it involves the Albany tag. *g*)

...possibly I should not write LJ comments on this amount of sleep. Good, uh, morning. ;-)

Check out the Black Bear Diner on google -- there may be photos. :D It was good food, but wow, lots of bears.

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

*googles* There are photos!

OMG SO MANY BEARS. Wow. *impressed*

Hey Sam! Hope you're enjoying Vegas. I wanted to make sure you saw this meta-post (http://cluegirl.livejournal.com/1461120.html) on The Avengers, because like you, I wasn't blown away by the movie, but this helped me gain a whole lot more appreciation.

Thanks! Clue's a pal of mine, and it is a great post :)

RIGHT. I knew her name seemed familiar!

Actually, the women retire to drink Margaritas; they just use a large teapot as the pitcher and serve 'em in teacups (it's hell getting the salt to stick around those thin little porcelain rims, though.) Don't tell them I told you, it's a Secret Female Thing.
