Last night around 11PM I say to Carlos:
“I’m tired, I’m going to bed now.”
“I’m going to read for a bit longer.”
“All right. Night. Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
I go to bed and I’m out like a light until I get nudged:
“Did I tell you about my meeting today?”
“No, but—”
And he proceeds to tell me every detail of his meeting. When
he finished, I again say how tired I am and am going to sleep, and again, after
a bit I get nudged awake:
“I was talking to Ellen today …”
And he gives me a word-by-word replay of their conversation
until I realize it’s now midnight and I say:
“Please, can I just get some sleep?”
“Oh sorry, night sweetie.”
And then I hear:
“How would you like to have dinner with some friends on
Saturday night?”
“Can this wait?”
“Well, I mean, we didn’t get a chance to have dinner for my
birthday last week and I was—”
“I guess the dinner and drinks and desert we had at Masa last
Tuesday night ON YOUR BIRTHDAY don’t count?”
“Oh, I forgot.”
The worst part of this story is that we both had the day off
and he’d had all day to tell me his stories but waited until I’m asleep. But
hen, maybe he thought it would be the only time I had my yap closed? |
Nancy Pelosi's still sharp.
ReplyDeleteAnd she ain't playing.
DeleteSmiles this morning.
ReplyDeleteFeels kinda good, eh?
DeleteI'm betting Ben's choice was B. And I think that empty arena for the Turning Point failure is that the movement itself is nothing with out Chuck. I think I'll pass on Elliot.
ReplyDeleteA small price to pay ....
DeleteOpus Dei has forced it's way into politics. John Eastwood, recently disbarred from working as a lawyer, was one of theirs. The organisation was heavily implicated in the overturning of Roe v Wade and they got John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court. They were also involved in whitewashing Bret Kavanagh so please don't be fooled by people who say religion should be kept out of politics.
ReplyDeleteI am not fooled by those people, nor am I foolish enough to believe that some would rather us be a country running on religion.
DeleteYes, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI love her for his constant standing up to Cankles.
DeleteNancy Pelosi -- she's still got it!
ReplyDeleteA national treasure.
DeleteAhhh, Carlos' talking. My wife does that whenever I try to read. If I put the book down, she stops. Pick the book up again, and she's suddenly got more things to discuss.
ReplyDeleteBrava, Pelosi!
Wait. What? In Georgia? That happened in GEORGIA? (Bring my smelling salts!)
Carlos does that thing when I'm reading, too!
DeleteGeorgia of all places, right?
Carlos found a time to get a word in ... Though I must admit I'm impressed you didn't get cranky.
ReplyDeleteNancy certainly has a quick wit.
Did you hear t had IQ45 pivoted to doctor because Leavitt told him the photo was "doctored"?
I kept trying to dose off!
DeleteNancy has zero fucks to give Cankles.
Whatever excuse they're spinning about Demented DonOLD I do not believe.
Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteOh, Carlos!
And of course I’d let Elliot hit it. Duh.
I love that the grifter widow stood up couch fucker lol. They are all so fucking thirsty!
XOXO
Elliot has long been a Hit It from me!
DeleteIt was funny the way Erika scurried off like a grifting rat when she saw her crowds dwindling.

ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo always)
xoxo :-)
Yay for Georgia!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I am the Carlos and you are the Dave in that exchange.
How does one get "scouted" while having their hair cut? A model scout just happens to wander past?
Good on Georgia! Surprising in Georgia!
DeleteCarlos loves to talk as we are drifting off to sleep and I try not to get too violent!
Wasn't Lana Turner "discovered" at Schwabs Drugstore??? I guess it can happen anywhere.
Wasn't there a TV commercial years ago "Getting unentangled from an ex $30 million. For everything else there is Mastercard."
ReplyDeleteWill Jay
I mean it'd be worth it to give away $30M to keep JLo away from you.
DeleteMy mind kind of blew a fuse when I got to Eliot Meeten. He's just five years older than my oldest granddaughter! I would not hit it in a monodisciplinary way. I'd tickle him until he smiled, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a Tuxedo Day.
That's NON disciplinary.
DeleteI think Elliot might like Tickle Day, and we all need a Tuxedo Day but I look foolish lying nekkid on the sunroom floor on my back!~
DeleteAll these God-fearing, church going, Bible bashing, hymn singing Republicans and still they make excuses for Trump - even when he portrays himself as a Christ-like figure. As for Elliot Meeten, I would not "hit it" but I would try to get him a job as security guard on a sewage disposal plant.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP christianity [little c] is all hypocrisy.
DeleteI think Elliot does just fine away from the sewage plant!
I was laughing out loud at the Carlos play-by-play. There is a special kind of 'talent' involved in waiting until someone is mid-REM cycle to remember an entire meeting's worth of details! I think we’ve all been there—the only time they want to talk is the exact moment your yap is finally closed. Also, Pelosi really does have the best lines. A 'diagnosis' is exactly what’s needed for that messianic AI nonsense!
ReplyDeleteI will be reading or watching TV and he'll start a story, so I pause the show, close the book and listen, and after talking for several minutes he'll say, "Carry on."
DeleteI do, and then he starts talking again!!!
Pelosi nails it every time.
Mic drop goes to Nancy Pelosi this week .. excellent! Who knew she was funny but let's be honest with the dump these days the jokes write themselves!
ReplyDeleteAny and Elliott could take turns tapping each other, over and over and taking turns. Does that answer your question?
Nancy is always on fire.
DeleteI think I get you and Elliot!
Praise to Georgia. Love the classy line from Pelosi!
ReplyDeleteHow many years has it been, Carlos? I had to explain the rules to SG early on about bedtime conversations. He’s been trained fairly well. Elliot Meeten? Yes. But only because of the bone structure.
Carlos just loves to talk and I love to talk to him, but not when I'm in bed curling up into the fetal position for my slumber.
DeleteElliot does have good bones ... and I'll leave that right there!
"You’d think that a guy who claims to have aced so many cognitive tests would know the difference between a doctor and the Messiah."
ReplyDeleteTo be fair most doctors don't know the difference either.
But when you're neither you should know the difference.
DeleteIt seems that the MITM is my Carlos, sweetpea! He doesn't wait until I'm almost asleep, I need only pick up a book or a pen, or sit at my computer, and the man has an endless stream of anecdotes to share! *Jesus wept* xoxo Nancy Pelosi has always been stellar!
ReplyDeleteCarlos does that, too, when I'm reading or watching TV or blogging .... the man loves to chitchat!
DeleteNancy is the best!
xoxo
Tuxedo knows !
ReplyDeleteHe knows how to kick back :)
And he’s still waiting for a certain cat toy that he can kick around, along with several others.
-Rj
Like all of us.
DeleteI take you are planning payback for the interrupted sleep?
ReplyDelete👏 Pelosi
I'm always in payback mode. 😁
