i was telling deidra about my friend carlin the other day. they haven't met each other yet since carlin has a lot of obligated familial events to attend during the weekends. anyway, i was telling deidra that carlin is brilliant with the computer. she was listening intently to this, but i decided to kick it up a notch and told her that carlin is a freaking robot. and if you need to talk to him, you'd have to do the "nanu-nanu" sign with your hand and say, "log on."

the other day, deidra and i were in the car together, and carlin called me on my cell phone to see what i was doing. in the middle of all this, deidra said jokingly, "oh, you're right. he does sound like a robot." we had a good laugh.

of course, "the robot" heard this, and knowing him the way i do, he probably hates deidra. she's actually really great. much, much better than christina.

that's all.
