Overheard in the office...

Me: "Last night I dreamed I had a motorcycle again... In Manderley."


The dialogue can go all literary geeky in no seconds flat here at Roseholme Cottage.

    Vandalay Industries?

    George's fake company for the unemployment fraud scheme?

    I think she is referencing some castle where my family is from (Cornwall). My ancestors never had motorcycles (or castle). We had fishing boats though.

    oh yeah...vandalay.

    too f'n old and brainfried to even keep brainfry content straight.

    thanks a lot, s.b.

    yeah, i know that tam is a new-world girl capable of myriad old-world flights of fancy gleaned from the awesome library 'tween her ears...

    but, hey, v. ind. was a long-term going nonconcern and nonemployer for g.c. for years...same thing, right? yeah, right.

    Don't tell me, you found pillowcases with R monogrammed on them and gifted them to your roomie?

    My sister and I demand "dork dollars" when either of us says something particularly nerdy. We're also trying to work out a scoring system for Scrabble that awards extra points for esoterica. (No luck so far.)

    You want to watch out for that. One moment's lost concentration and you are up Frenchman's Creek without a paddle.
