we were sitting around the dinner table and my sister was reading entertainment weekly and the review of Danny Boyle's new movie 127 hours came up. The true story of a canyon climber who got trapped with his hand under a boulder. Unable to get free he had to cut off his own hand. This is an awful situation for anyone to be in and we were feeling very sorry for the man but reading interviews with showed him to be very reconciled and rather jocular. His book is titled Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

Well my mom said he looked like someone a friend of ours would date. then my sister spoke up with "i don't know if she goes for stumpy men, he' be like come here and i will stroke your hair." then imitated a stump hand stroking hair. because she is a horrible person and that is what horrible people say.

Eating, talking and more eating

My sister, i kid you not, can walk through the kitchen and snack on at least five things at once. Sometimes more. Chips, hummus, apples, spinach dip, cookies anything remotely dip-able doesn't stand a chance. It will be found, smothered in a dip, mashed by teeth and disappear down her throat. Now while she is consuming veggie chips or some other crunchy delectable, she is talking. She talks all the time, even if i am clearly reading she will chatter away not really caring that i am engaged in a conversation with a book character.

Don't get me wrong, i love my sister. When she broke up with her boy friend i got all her attention back, which includes all her conversation. I feel very privileged when she talks to me but i find it increasingly hilarious that she can talk to me weather or not i am listening.

I do not intentionally ignore her. She comes in and starts talking when i am already engaged in reading. usually i then start to pay more attention to her then my book. She is hilarious!
