Captain America doesn't like your ill-formed hypothesis about my work clothes.
---
Amy Sue is, by nature, a pacifist. She is also the kindest person in the state of Georgia. She's never uncharitable to people. She's never unfriendly about people. In the 15 or so years that I have known her, she's never said anything intentionally hurtful to me.
Amy's taking a combat class at her gym. When she first started talking about it, she seemed a little frightened of the woman who teaches the class. The first day Amy went, the instructor was all, "Now you've got them on the ground! Picture that person you hate! Picture the face! And KICK THEM! AND KICK THEM! AND KICK THEM!" The teacher's small children were in the class, in the corner, coloring. She made them put their books down and do push-ups.
But now Amy is really into the class. She keeps kicking and punching and jumping and making noises like, Hiiiiiya! And Siyeeee! Last night when we were walking Margaret, Amy attacked me a dozen times.
"This was supposed to be a leisure walk!" I protested.
In reply, Amy chopped at my jugular.
This morning I was changing the light bulb in one of Amy's closets (because my height and Blockbuster All-Access Pass are the only two things I bring to our relationship) and she came into the closet to say "good morning" or "do you want a blueberry muffin" or something, and I almost fell off the stool. Because you know what? I thought she was going to assault me. I am totally scared of Amy.
Now she wants me to put Kill Bill in my Blockbuster Queue.
Movie Mom's Review for Kill Bill: "Constant, extreme graphic violence with gallons of spurting blood, characters maimed and killed."
Awesome.

your chair looks more comfortable than my chair.

The Kill Bill flicks are super-awesome-tastic. The gore is the cheesy kung-fu side of Quentin Tarantino being let out and we're all the more entertained as a result. And it's not like the blood is real or any of the actors actually lost limbs.
I assume.

I agree with 'sir' - definitely up there on my favs of Tarantino pics. But I prefer vol. 1 to vol. 2... anyway.
Don't be worried about your roomie, she will be your protector from the scary bumps in the night!

I would LOVE to take that combat class with Amy. It's important to know how to defend yourself or at least have a roommate who can. Good choice in picking Amy.

Maybe you can train her to use her powers for good instead of evil. Instead of attacking you, she could take it out on the bad guys.

This one time Quentin Tarantino was on Alias. It was weird. He makes me nervous. In other news, I also enjoyed Kill Bill.

Amy's dramatic transformation rather graphically illustrates how a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, eh? ;)
You guys crack me up!

I like the work clothes. I get to where scrubs, but I have no real variety. (Poor.)
And I think you'd better do what she says. Although, I love Kill Bill.

I'm not sure what inspired us to watch the second one after seeing the first. We must have seen absolutely everything else on the new release shelf that wasn't a horror flick. Or porn. Anyway, I'm glad we did, 'cause the second one is better. (More of the "why" of the revenge-driven plot is revealed, making it seem more realistic. Well, "realistic" is used loosely here.)
Good on Amy! And I like your cargos.
