Hmm. I feel like there's a life lesson here...

A conversation with my roommate.  I'm 41, she's 26.  She owns this house, I rent from her.

Me: Wanna see something nerdy?  At about 11:30 me and a bunch of other dorks will be waiting in line for the midnight release for Mass Effect 3.  I took tomorrow off of work so I can play all day.

Her: Do you wanna see something nerdy?  At 11:30 I'll be reading the Economist.  For my job.  I'll be at work tomorrow.

Me:  Uh...

To paraphrase Henry Rollins, She's the rocket scientist, I'm playing in the gutter with my own feces.

I have nothing intelligent to add at this time.
