Still Not As Tricky As Anne Applebaum
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
Years ago, I mentioned the show Major Dad to Leonard. He hadn't heard of it. I ended up saying, "he's a major, she's a dad, they're cops."
Last year, Leonard attended a They Might Be Giants show.
Today:
Leonard: wait, that show was on in the 90s? Leonard: i thought it was from the 60s or something Sumana: Gerald McRaney doesn't look THAT different now than he did in Major Dad Leonard: i just never saw it or heard of it really Leonard: i thought it was like 'my 3 sons' Sumana: you don't frickin' watch tv! Sumana: how would you have heard about it? Sumana: Incidentally, Major Dad was where TMBG announced all their new albums Leonard: really? Sumana: no! Sumana: joke Leonard: glah! Leonard: flee!
