Peculiar Thursday #3

The day before Halloween, we went & bought some candy & ice cream. This was the total. Freaky right? I almost was hesitant to put it on my blog. Best halloween total ever. We then went home & ate it in bed while watching French films. It was perfect.

Peculiar Thursday #2

Drew & I have this ongoing joke about public schools vs. private. I went to public, he went to private. Everything he says are always jokes and the stereotypical things people would normally say about kids that went to public school, but we always get laughs out of it. Things like: "I got an A on my paper and you didn't because I went to a private school." Then I try to make my defense as to why public school is better and on and on and on. Like recently, we went and saw the facebook movie and I made a bet that Mark Zuckerburg went to a public school in growing up. Well, I was wrong when we checked on wiki. Terribly wrong. 


So one day, sometime this last May, we were in San Clemente and went to SCHS to pick up Bree, my little sister from school early (what's new right?), and I told her to meet us in front of the admin building because it's an easy get-away. So we pull up to wait by this big spot of green grass and we see a class full of maybe sophomores or juniors with green tinted goggles on their eyes, throwing green tennis balls to each other. It really looked like a scene out of a movie. One partner would throw it to the other slowly, and the receiver would try to see it but usually did not see it, so it would just hit them either in the face or somewhere near them. Then they would try finding it on the green grass, and then pick it up, and throw it back. Their arms were held out in front like zombies and faces tilted up. We watched for a good 3 minutes before Bree got into the car. 


This is one of those times that we bring up and just laugh. Drew really just brings it up to defend his idea that "private school raises brighter kids than public school"- because there was no teacher around during all this, and really they just looked like idiots.

Peculiar Thursdays

Peculiar Thursdays is something I wanted to start. Every Thursday I will tell you about a "peculiar" time that either I or Drew had, or together that was memorable or not an everyday happenstance. Most of them are just funny. Sometimes they will be recent and just happened during the last week, or I will try to remember back to other times. A lot of these will most likely be, 'you had to be there' type stories, so bear with me.. it's really just so I can laugh about them later and remember them in full detail.

In the beginning of the semseter, Drew & I were having a really stressful week, and all we wanted were some big diet cokes & a movie to fall asleep to. So we headed over to a corner store and were looking at blockbuster's kiosk. It must have been past 10pm. We were browsing movies and getting silly because it was late and we had already looked through more than 20 synopsis of movies we've never heard of. Seriously, some of these movies were insane and belonged in the game Balderdash. We get to the one pictured above, and Drew says in a deep trailer movie voice "What is ' The Nawma-sock-e' ???" I couldn't help but burst out laughing!! And he didn't why I was laughing (which made it that much more funny)...until I explained to him that he pronounced it like he would sushi.. We left without a movie and just laughed ourselves to sleep.
