a saturday afternoon of vampires and a night of easter eggs.
oh yes this saturday was an interesting one, if not quite unconventional. here goeth.
first off, there was some sort of indian?? hindi?? what?? holiday going on where people were rubbing this pink powder and paint into each other’s hair and shit. they were covered with the stuff. i have NO idea what it was. someone help me out. i tried looking it up but found nothing!
then it was onto the reel girls studio for some good ol’ movie shooting! :0 :0 :0 i was just an extra. i guess?? nick’s sister is directing it?? so really, i just played a chess-playing buddy in a rehab center. nothing special. i got to show off my fob jammies that say, “hello! nice to meet you,” on them, though. i also managed to get schooled in chess once. so that’s how it goes. i also learned that when your pawn makes it to the end of the board you can GET ANY PIECE YOU WANT. i always thought you had to pick up a piece that had already been eaten. guess not. :[
nighttime was easter egg dyeing time with becky, emme, and emme’s friend, taylor. oh yes. any get together with children = many many many fun quotes. here goes. (by the way, no kids for me for a long time. a long, long, long time. so long it might be as in… never.)
oh yes. i don’t recall dyeing easter eggs much in my life but i know i have done it before, simply because i remember the vinegar and the smell. i don’t, however, recall the actual act of doing it, so this was all new kind of. if i’ve ever dyed easter eggs before, i definitely have never like, decorated them afterwards. silly white people and their holiday rituals. jaykay. but not really hahahsdaosdi 
but really i’m just jealous because asian kids miss out on these corporate money-making holidays, oh yes.
anyways, in the above pictures, emme made a giant mess. she practically dropped the eggs into each of those cups instead of dipping them. lol.
here is my egg, before face. ahh preeeeeeety.
con faceo.
and now for kiddie quotes!!!! OH YES THE BEST PART IS KIDDIE QUOTES. i do believe that is the thing i will miss most about moving out of my current apartment into a new house… THE KIDDIE QUOTES :[ these are quotes from emme, a four year old girl, and taylor, a three year old girl.
TAYLOR, BEING ANGRY ABOUT SOMEONE SMOKING IN THE GARAGE WHERE HER STUFF IS STORED:
taylor: “she smokes downstairs. it always smells like pot.”

RYAN, EMME, AND TAYLOR’S CONVERSATION, SPARKED BY EMME’S EXTREME NON-WANTING TO SHARE PARENTS WITH TAYLOR:
ryan: (talking to taylor)
emme: he’s not your friend.
ryan: emme, that’s not nice. say sorry to taylor.
emme: sorry, daddy.
ryan: say sorry to taylor.
taylor: (just nods understandingly)
taylor: (later) “you know i’m going to tell everyone that you said he can’t be my friend.”

TAYLOR AND EMME ON THE COLOR RED, AFTER PLAYING A BOARD GAME:
emme: “i like red.” (does a dance like the running man).
taylor: “i like red, too.” (does a similar dance)
—
EMME, ON NOSE-PICKING:
becky: “don’t pick your nose, emme. that’s gross.”
emme: “i’m like kiel.”

so apparently the chess footage looks really cool and you are, in fact, in it.
