Happy 4Th!

Happy fourth of July everyone! This is my third year as an official card carrying American and I take this time to reflect on what that means. For instance I just realized that all those years from second through sixth grade where I was made to participate in "I'm proud to be an American" sing-a-longs, coloring in red white and blue flags, and saying the pledge of allegiance were in fact acts of high treason on my part. oops. (for those just tuning in I was officially a Venezuelan citizen prior to 2005)

Well punishable by death acts aside please partake in a recent conversation I had with a friend of mine. I call it When Geeks Chat. Think of it as an anthropological study

12:18 PM Peter: "Resistance is Futile. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own."

me: HAHA

12:19 PM Peter: Happy 4th to you too! =)

me: is it sad that the only red white and blue in my closet is on a borg shirt? (said t-shirt can be seen above )

Peter: HAHAHA... naaa

12:20 PM It's okay, for a long time (7.75yrs) to be considered patriotic, you have to be a Borg drone....

me: so Nat tells me your sporting an Ironman look (my friend is having heart issues and his doctor made him wear a heart monitor)

12:22 PM Peter: Sort of... it's really more like Locutus- early looks

12:23 PM Wires and stuff... not pretty

But thankfully it's only for 24hrs

me: well it certainly can't be due to the work environment provided by tufts

12:24 PM Peter: Perish the thought!

me: how's the baby coming along?

or rather babies

Peter: That and the fact that Megan is almost ready to give birth any day....

One baby!!!

12:25 PM I'd die if it wasn't

me: it

it's why god gave you two arms

Peter: Uh-huh

me: :-p

12:26 PM Peter: ::shakes fist:: "Why I oughtta!"

12:28 PM Well the name is definitely going to be Luke, BTW

me: soon you'll be in a rocking chair saying "why when I was your age I had to illegally download albums on song at a time"

Luke is AWESOME!!!!

12:29 PM one song not on song

Peter: Yeah, "None of this fancy-shmancy neural interface download. We had it rough, we needed iPods.!"

12:30 PM me: ok so check out this baby name popularity chart for luke http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Luke

12:31 PM me thinks there was a disturbance in the force somewhere in the 70's

Peter: "Luke.... I am your Father!"

12:32 PM me: Can you get a onsie that says "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Peter: HAHAHA... LOL

"THAT"S IMPOSSIBLE!" That's cooler

12:33 PM me: much

and then the onsie should have one little sleeve sewn shut so he can't get his little hand out

lol

Peter: LOL

me: I'm tearing up

12:34 PM Peter: I personally think that a onesie that says "You'll find that I'm full of surprises."

would be pretty funny

12:36 PM me: oh man you think meagan would allow the kids room to be totally starwars pimped out? kinda like this but for star wars? http://www.whatisblik.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=NIN-SMB1

12:37 PM Peter: Super Mario bedroom = Kewl

me: well my lunch is over gotta go!

Peter: Later - see ya

12:38 PM me: make sure Nat tells me when you disappear into paternity leave land

Peter: I will!
