Roger Miller

I bought a Roger Miller Greatest Hits record at a garage sale today. This guy could be a real big star if he’d just stop doing that annoying thing with his voice. —Jacob

A $200 Table

 Mom was refinishing a table she got at a thrift store or something and it turned out really well. 
Me: Mom, that’s really cool, that like…a $200 table now.
Mom: Oh, more than that, like $2000, it’s a steelcase, you don’t know what that is but it’s really cool–
Me: Mom, the numbers in my mind only go up to like 100, so $200 is the most money you could spend on anything ever.

You’re a Cat

I don’t tell the cats they’re good. I just say “You’re a Cat!” and keep walking. And they ignore me. Because they are cats. —Jacob

Colour Correcting

I was colour correcting for my skin tone, and I found a combo I liked; Global Saturated +41, and Shadows Exposed -41. And so while it was still fresh in my mind I wrote it down on a peice of paper I had handy, but I didn’t have a lot of space, so I used abbreviations, I wrote down G.sat. +41 And S.ex. -41. And then I looked at it, and decided not to abbreviate exposed. —Jacob

Mom: I just finished buying a plane ticket, and if you don’t do [these steps] as fast as possible it times out and then you’re scr*wed.
Me: Don’t you feel really tired? Like…Wiped out even though you haven’t run around or anything?
Mom: YES.
Me: Like you want to just lay on the floor and never move again?
Mom: OH MY GOSH YES.  Now I know how you feel with all those time–based things you make all the time.
Me: Yeah. But just imagine having a JOB.
Mom: OH GOD DON’T SAY THAT.
Me: Imagine how DAD feels. ALL THE TIME.
