pointless and scary

Today the fascinating topic of a new butterdish came up. RDC contends the present plastic one is from Caldor, and while I am sure it's migratory, I think it's from Lechter's. That was a mall-type kitchen store, and RDC asked if this was in the collection-of-stores-under-one-roof in Willi. No, and to remind him of the store, I recalled a visit: "Remember, once when we were there, we ran into that woman you knew from whatever apartment complex who stabbed her boyfriend in the leg?" Also: I knew her from a women's studies course, also her name came to me in a moment, also in the store with her was a subsequent man about twice her age.

He looked at me, processing astonishment and recognition, and I looked at him until he also admitted, "Okay, that was scarily impressive."

I amended, "Pointlessly and scarily impressive."

This entry is just to remind me that when Belinda's birthday comes up, I want a new user title.

Of course, the other, earlier option originated with Trish at "Ugly Bags of Mostly Water": Afraid of Lampshades.
