And the housemates are back.
Coryn: (venting frustration; she's a fencer) Argh! How can people not know what a counter-attack is!
Elisha walks in, just in time to hear this. He suddenly mock-roars and attacks the kitchen counter.
Elisha: Rarrrrr!!!
I bend over in laughter.
Coryn: (confused) That's not a counter-attack. No one's attacking you. You're just attacking the counter... (she finally gets it) Oh.

Prettyman-Mraz Engagement!
I’m well aware that ‘tis the season for reflection and goal-setting, but while sitting here in the living room of the Williamses, watching the Rose Parade on TV for the first time in my 22-year life, I read the two very sweet blog entries of Tristan Prettyman and Jason Mraz respectively, about their recent engagement, and I figured - oh, heck, my self-centred obsessions and opinions...
