Odd Smells
Today was a long day. I'd say it sucked, except it didn't suck so much as it was long. Went to bed way too late last night (my own fault) up at 6a, at The Minuteman by 7:30a, long, rough meeting with big boss from Phoenix all morning...it was brutal.
Anyway, I was sitting on the couch tonight recovering from the past two days when I smelled something strange. What the hell is that? Damn, it smells like ass! BABY ASS!
Yup, Nena has replaced our normal bathroom handsoap with one that smells lke baby ass. It's part talc, part soap and part smell that clean babies have. In short, it smells like baby ass. Clean baby ass, but baby ass none the less.
The reason I'm so tired is that I had a big meeting in The Q yesterday so I was up early after a too-late night writing for a project that isn't this blog. And then after work I took Nena to see Nickel Creek as a belated birthday present.
(Oh and Cody and Al, check out the opening act Tift Merritt, you'll both like her for different reasons.
OK, so the tickets were on time, but they were...oh you get the point.
Anyway, as we were walking out we had the following conversation.
Nena: Honey, was it me or did the theater smell funny?
Nenie: Huh?
Nena: It smelled like a wet ashtray in there.
Nenie: Oh, that. Ummm, I mean, did you look around in there.
*pause*
Nena: What?
Nenie: (looking around the streets and over his shoulder) I'll tell you when we're in the car.
*pause*
Nena: OOOOOH. Yeah. I get it. You're right that's what it was. Man, white people smell nasty when they get funky. I mean, they smell really good ordinarily, but when they smell bad they smell really bad.
Nenie: (looks over shoulder, sees horrified older couple behind him) Yeah, well, I guess that's one advantage our people have, yknow? We smell better dirty.
Nena: TOTALLY. Man, that theater stank. Good thing the concert was so good.

...damn stinky crackas.
I really need to see Nickel Creek again. I have hopes that the next leg of their tour w/ Glenn Phillips will make it to MN/WI.
...and damn, who does Tift Merritt remind me of?
Emmylou Harris? Dusty Springfield? Bruce Springsteen?
Did they play "Sweet Afton" or "When You come back down"?
Yknow, i don't rightly remember.
Psh, I smell like sunshine and daisies ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Or something. :)
And people look at me funny when I tell them our babies are superior/cuter because they don't show dirt... Dirt, funny smell, same thing right?
