The wife bought me three blurays. Two were from her.
The third was from Charlie - Kung Fu Panda. Only she meant it to be Kung Fu Panda 2. Only she forgot that she had previously gifted me with both 1 & 2. I think the boy is draining her intellect.
So, we returned that movie, and I picked up the Alien Anthology (all 4 movies on bluray + a s@&&load of extra stuff) for $40.
Also got a coffee mug and a t-shirt from the boy.
And I bought myself some books, some air filters for my furnace (good stuff), and a new table top band saw.

Jude is a big fan of the Kung-fu Panda movies, however Winnie the Pooh is the current favorite. Which is accompanied by him often saying "Wa wa wa Winne da Poooooh."

I think I was driving through Kentucky on leave when I saw that first one.
Two and a half hours until I can go shower and sleep. Seems like I'll be pulling duty a bit more frequently here.
It's always funny how I get nervous calling attention for field officers, which makes my voice appropriately loud.

G'morning FAWTLfolk. Another week begins, another Hallmark Holiday(TM) is past, and I'm feeling remarkably grumpy this morning.
There's a guy who works in my library who has some serious mental challenges. I'm not sure what his job is, honestly, because I only ever see him wandering aimlessly around the building and saying one of three things: 1) "Do I make you laugh? I laugh all the time." (to anyone who's ever smiled at him) 2) "I hope your cough gets better." (to anyone who's ever coughed in his presence) and 3) "Whan are you having a party?" (to anyone who's ever invited him to a work social event)
Normally, I can tune him out, but he's on his third trip through my corner of cubicleland this morning, and I'm feeling a somewhat shameful urge to duct tape his mouth shut...

He may respond positively to a gentle reminder that you are working right now and can't talk. It works for me all the time.

Does anybody else have sounds that just make their skin crawl for no real reason?
I have discovered that I can't abide the sound of someone eating yogurt or pudding out of those little cups. The sound of the spoon against the plastic container drives me to distraction, especially when they get to the end and they are scraping down the sides of the cup with short rapid movements. Am I the only one who feels this way?
GAH! Somebody is eating yogurt from a plastic cup...

I've actually tried that before without any luck. As far as I can tell, there's a really limited set of social interactions that he's been coached in (the conversations I quoted in my initial post), and anything outside of those just doesn't register.

Sorry to hear that, Lindisty. Unfortunately, some people are just "limited" in certain areas.
(I know that I have issues with social interation and have to watch myself even now. I have tried to learn, so my heart goes out to those who can't learn how to interact socially. ~grins~ Despite getting irritated at how annoying they are at times.)

It's big. You have to prioritize what you want to see there, because it would take several days to take it all in, I think. I like to just choose 2 or 3 exhibits and stick with that.

nibbles blueberries and the last of the season's farm market strawberries for lunch
Are any of you FAWTLies fans of Dr. Who? I never watched the original series, or the reboot, until I happened to catch the first couple of episodes of the reboot on my local PBS station a couple of weeks ago. Then I discovered the series is available via Netflix streaming, and I seem to have gotten myself hooked. I've watched about half of the first season, and I have some observations:
2. John Barrowman is one of the prettiest men I've ever seen.
3. They seem to spend an awful lot of time on earth, when (in theory) they have all of time and space to explore.
