I just saw a pirate. Or Ignatius J. Reilly.

Still trembling from the stilts mishap, I boarded the seabus. Cute guy sitting across from. My attention was increasingly being distracted from the shit crap article about how Rudy Giuliani single-handedly saved New York from crime, disease, poverty, violence, drugs and prostitution. He had kind of rumpled, hippy-ish, long curly hair and I don't think he was wearing socks. He had great hands. And forearms. I'm big on hands. Hands are a bit of a thing with me.
Anyways, we get off the seabus (after - mid voyage - I had done my booty shake) and I decided to hoof it up the hill. He took off with his skateboard. Oh, did I not mention that he was like twenty and I'm a cougar? Anywho, about five minutes later he comes flying around this corner and I look up and recognize him and he recognizes me (you know, from that stellar fifteen minute seabus ride we had so intimately shared) and shoots me this beautific smile. I smiled back (and could feel tendons snapping and stretching) and thought, "That guy is a lady killer". So hot. Made my day.
And then, as I continued along, I passed a guy dressed like a pirate. At first I was like, "Oh, that guy has an eye-patch: that sucks" and then I was like, "Hmm, if I had an eye-patch I don't think I would wear a red and white horizontally striped shirt". Then I saw the pirate boots and cap. He smiled at me too, naturally.
Anyways, getting ready for that architectural lecture. Michael said we need to dress up like avant garde artists. I know my glasses are avant garde, but I'm not sure about the hat. I think this hat may be hippy or bohemian. Goddamnit, I'm getting my stereotypes mixed up.
The point is, I can't wear them both at the same time because I look like a Unibomber (and my pea head is too small to successfully don both hat and specs).

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the other day was actually "National Talk Like a Pirate Day". Seriously. I'm not making this up.

Really, Supermommy? That's awesome, then. Actually, regardless of whether it was "National Talk Like a Pirate Day" or not, it's great to see someone doing something out of the ordinary.
So did you talk like a pirate yesterday? "Argh, hubby, you shiver me timbers". He he.

I did not talk like a pirate, but I did think about illegally downloading music, so that's pretty much the same thing. I have a teacher-friend that annually reminds me of the upcoming talk-like-a-pirate day, then sends out an email on said day to remind us that we should all be "yar-harring".
