bloodyrosemccoyMy brother is home for spring break!
I’m not sure what you chumps do for spring break, but around here the schedule’s generally preceded by shoveling the snow out of the driveway. Today I also got to engage in the spring break activity known as Arguing With The Teachers At The Preschool That 24˚ F Is Too Damn Cold To Have Outside Time. My argument was overruled, leading to the next fun spring break activity ten minutes later of Thawing Out A Whole Lot Of Whining Children Before Their Fingers Fall Off.
That’s right, bitches! WOO SPRING BREAK.
My brother has brought along hishuge terrifying nerd of a roommate, as well, and Mom is worried that our family may bore him. In all fairness, this is possible. I could say that Defaulting Every Single Conversation To The Subject Of Batman is also a spring break activity, but in fact that is just a normal activity for my brother and me.
But! Her wish to entertain The Guest, who for the record is the sort of person who has in the past spent upwards of twelve hours at a time writing card game computer programs, coincides with my desire to do more interesting things. So I’m on the internets now researching Interesting Things To Do.* I’m a nerd, so my first great idea is to check out the planetarium. I will have to see if my brother and his buddy are up for it. Perhaps the other two people I know will be, too.
And, if they’re not, he can always drag me off to see Watchmen. I warned him that I may not appreciate it, since I haven’t read the book and actually this was my first introduction to Rorschach,** but it is in keeping with my status as a peripheral comic nerd.
Plus, it will give us plenty of opportunity to compare superheroes. Click the stopwatch. See how long it takes before one of us says “Batman.” I guarantee it’ll be before we get back to the car.
*It turns out Googling this phrase does not yield a particularly wide variety of interesting things to do. It does, however, result in a link to a handy article on Things You Can Do With The Internet For People Who, If They Are Clueless Enough To Need This Article, Would Never In A Thousand Years Be Able To Actually Find It In The First Place. The first entry in the list is “surf the web.”
**In all fairness, yes, I did realize that it was meant to be funny and thus inferred what he was actually like, but I will not be able to get the “HOORAY!” out of my head.
