it occurred to me

that one reason I'm posting less frequently is that the things Evan now says tend to sound like this: "Want to hear the list of things I need? At the top is an infrared illuminator. Then I need a four-pin-by-six-pin firewire cable. And then I need, probably, a good external microphone. And I'm NOT waiting until Christmas."

straight and narrow

Evan: "If cars ran on railroad tracks, high-speed police chases would be a lot less interesting."

me too

Evan: "I feel kind of sorry for balloons that people let go of."

job description

Eric: "Did Grandma Sue get you a new Lego set?"

Evan (assembling a new Lego set): "Yep. She's a grandma. And that's pretty much the classic grandma personality: love you and get you stuff."

is it too much to ask?

Evan: "Here's something else that I want from the future: underwear that puts itself on."
