Okay now for a bit more random stupidity from my life.
A few weeks ago we (meaning my mom, aunt and I) were sitting in the living room debating what to watch on TV when My aunt say out of the blue, "I've got a movie with a tall boat." And then there were the annoyed nervous tic that accompanies a statement like that. This woman's in her late forties for chrissake! Anyway she goes to her room and comes back with Master & Commander at which point I couldn't take it anymore and went to my room to tell my brother (we share a room) the latest stupid-ass thing I've heard. So we both get pissed he goes back to playing a video game and I read through Azu Manga Daioh Vol. 1 for the fiftieth time. (I've since got 2 and 4, no one ever has 3 when I go check out the usual places I buy manga. I think I'll just special order it next time I get some cash.)
Now if you think that's stupid she topped it a few days later. I was playing spider solitaire on the computer in the morning when she comes out of her room and asks, "Have you seen my DVD of Eight Is Enough?" Now I like any sane person figured she'd bought a DVD of the show and said I hadn't seen it. Fast forward ten minutes later and she finds what she wanted sitting on top of the living room TV and blames me just because it's in the same room I was in. Wait it gets worse, it had nothing to do with Eight Is Enough, it was Cheaper By The Dozen with Steve Martin. That's right, she's that stupid. Hell ever since I was eight she refuses to call anything from Nintendo by it's correct name, she calls it an "Intendo." I fucking hate that!!
Now onto the dumbass thing my mom did the other day. We've been taping Cowboy Bebop off of Cartoon Network but we missed the last two eps so we ordered the DVD from Netflix so we could see them. Anyway when we got it in the mail I give the DVD to My mom and take some others back to my room to watch on the Xbox, later I come out and my mom turns to me and says, "The DVD is nothing but reruns." Choking back the sarcasm and trying to be reasonable I tell her to go into scene selection and pick ep 25 to which she replies, "No, I'll just watch it through." ARRRGGGHHHH!!!
