Danger, Will Robinson!
Heh.
I'm babysitting. Rather, Nephew is watching Pokemon, as much as he ever watches it, and Sis and *her* Dave are locked in the West bedroom. I'm in charge of care, feeding, rewinding the Pokemon movie via remote under the door (thank you gods who invented infrared) and keeping Nephew from wanting in to Mommy's room. 'Cause Mommy's busy.
I've finally met the infamous Dave. I could see why Sis would be worried about me and him and all the techie-talk... you see, when he's talking about the Art, he talks to her... but when he's talking computers, he talks to me, since she understands the Art far better than I do, and I understand computers far better than she does. He's got skill with both, combining both. He's the sort of person that's capable of extreme monofocus, like I am. I doubt he could ever see me as more than a friend, but I am very certain that he and I could get into a deep technical discussion of the sort that lasts for hours, and she would just be sitting there...
You remember when you were small, and you were out with your parents, and they were talking to another grown-up about something excessively boring, and you wanted to leave, because you were tired, or hungry, or really had to go to the bathroom, and all they did was talk, talk, talk, talk-talk-talk-talktalktalktalk.... and then you tugged at their leg, or pulled on their sleeve, and they were just standing there ignoring you, your feet were sore, you wanted to go home, or go to the party, and all they were doing was just going on and on...
I can see Elli's Dave and me talking like that, and I can see Elli just sitting there and fuming... like she was this morning... grabbing him and hauling him off into the bedroom while he and I were still talking....
Ah. They seem to be done for now. I am to take Nephew and leave by noon or twelve-thirty... this should be interesting.
