got a phone call from emily at 9.

she asked me, finally, to come over.

so i did.

watched the best of the muppet show with her and talked and, ahem, relieved a little tension. if you know what i mean. and i think you do.

thats right buddy, we played ping pong.

okay, no, we didn't. there was none of this ping pong with the paddles and net and table and what not going on.

we sat on her couch, talking.

i kissed her and she said, "please, please don't get sick."

on the muppets, we watched a show with linda rondstant, linda started singing "i've got a crush on you." to kermit.

so i went off on linda, told her she was coming between kermit and miss piggy and what not. but emily set me straight.

she talked for five minutes about the evolution of kermit and miss piggy and their relationship.

how, at first, kermit doesn't really like miss piggy.

and there's never actually anything said to imply that until, randomly, in a movie, he sings a duet with her.

how the hell am i supposed to not like a lady who can set me straight on the workings of a muppet relationship?

later, i called her before i went into work and we started discussing whether or not they should blend wicker and rubber.

i said yes. and that they could call it wibber.

and that, i believe, is why she likes me.
