So the whole marriage thing was feeling rather rocky, what with the “ash-felt” issue and all, but then the Snook made it all better:

Snook: I think you need this. It’s Dawson’s “crying face” in animated GIF form!
Me: And that’s why I love you.

Any of you Yanks near a GAP factory outlet? I’m looking for pants.

Harry Potter Spoiler Car. Ooh, that is just evil! (Link courtesy of Bex, who always finds great Potter links but refuses to post them to her own blog because she thinks it’s nerdy.)

Shocking Revelation: You know asphalt, that stuff they make roads out of? Well, we were watching Worst Jobs in History the other night and Tony Robinson kept pronouncing it “ash-felt.” I was like, “WHAT is WITH that whack pronunciation? It’s making me CRAZY!” And Rodd said, “That’s how you say it.” Say what? So I had to confirm with the Aussies here at work. People, THEY ALL SAY ASH-FELT. They’re also incredibly amused by the fact that I say “ass-fault.” Me, I’m still reeling from the fact that I am married to a person who says “ash-felt.” How could I not have known that?

Rar rar rarr… I live in a subdivision.

Edited to add: The Snook doesn’t really get it. Maybe it’s my raging headache, but I just found it kind of funny. It’s from this webcomic. And, incidentally, I SO need this one printed on a T-shirt.
