Tar, Amy and Audrey, and their friend Fei in town this week, visiting. At Art's friend's house:

Tar: Hey, Switchfoot!
Grete: Yeah, the new album. A friend lent it to me.
Tar: It's not as good as the other one, though.
Grete: This one's not so...beautiful.
Tar: It's just a letdown.

Last night we watched The Curse of the Were-Rabbit at Vesi's (Amy's friend's) place. Afterwards...

EK: Wallace is just oblivious to what's happening around him. Like, he doesn't realize Gromit doesn't like him, and in that scene in the greenhouse where Lady Tottington holds up two melons, you notice he's really lusting after the melons.
me: Are you saying that if he wasn't a fictional character, Wallace might have Asperger's? *
EK: Yeah, you beat me to it.
me: Well, with you around, that isn't a hard connection to make.
EK: [whack whack whack]
me: Ow!
EK: It's funny how Gromit just doesn't like him.
me: I don't think Gromit doesn't like him. Gromit's kinda fed up, but he has affection for him, and it's like "This guy's hopeless, I can't leave him to take care of himself." [pause] Why are you looking at me like that?
EK: [geram]
me: I wasn't insinuating anything! Ow!

*It's under "syndrome" on the Dorlands page. Dorlands is a good reference, but rather eccentrically organized (i.e. all syndromes are listed under "syndrome", all inhibitors are listed under "inhibitor") and navigation sucks.
