Ответить я не успел- Гесер бодро сказал:
-Ну и прекрасно! Значит, через сорок минут.
Очень хотелось обозвать Гесера дешевым позером - конечно, положив вначале трубку. Но я промолчал. Во-первых, шеф мог услышать мои слова без всякого телефона. Во-вторых - уж кем-кем, а дешевым позером он не был. Просто предпочитал экономить время. Если я собирался сказать, что буду через сорок минут, - к чему терять время и меня выслушивать.
Before I had time to answer, Gesar went on cheerily. "Well, that's excellent! See you in forty minutes, then."
I really felt like calling Gesar a cheap poser - after I hung up, of course. But I kept my mouth shut. In the first place, the boss could hear what I said without any telephone. And in the second, whatever else he might be, he was no cheap poser. He simply didn't like wasting time. If I was about to say I'd be there in forty minutes, what point was there in listening to me say it?

I should actually slow down on the whole vocabulary adding and preposition review some. I know enough words by now that making sentences of them and reviewing and so on wouldn't go amiss, rather than trying to cram everything in my head at once and learn at a great rate of knots. I i guess, too, if today's slow, I can do a lot of that.
I am tired today. I had a screaming nightmare where, when I woke up, the only reason I knew I hadn't actually screamed in my sleep was because my throat didn't feel raw. Bad dreams about family, about my grandfather (I called home this morning, he's fine. Stupid brain), waking up to all the rain and gray, and now I am just tired. And if I have to hear one more goddamn word out of anyone's mouth saying that Daniel Tosh's comment in response to the heckler (not reprinted here for triggers) was an appropriate response or funny, I am going to throatpunch someone. I had a whole series of thoughts on that yesterday, today it's too tired, fuck you, throatpunch.
House progress continues slowly but hopefully. I have game tonight and I don't want to go unless I get some more energy reserves from some-goddamn-where. Time's doing that slippy thing again where it can't possibly be as late in the month as I think it is. I'm in a goddamn Steve Miller Band song.
Oh well. Checked in with home, I have some stuff to do, stuff to keep me busy writing wise, language wise, work wise. None of it very complicated. If I can manage to keep doing one thing at a time, I should be able to get through today.

That kind of thinking baffles me. A comedy performance is probably second only to a rock concert for people shouting things at the performer, and from the extended story, Tosh even claims he'd solicited suggestions from the audience about topics that are taboo but funny, and "rape" was the answer he got - making this woman's reply make even MORE sense, because he'd already opened the dialogue to the audience. I just. Even if what she'd done had been far ruder than a simple "that's not funny", she still would have had the right. That's how free speech works.

And yes. Exactly. We are all free to speak our minds, which means we are also free to respond to other people speaking their minds. And when you speak your mind to other people, that means you get to deal with the consequences. In this case, someone was hurt and offended by what you said, and that's her right. And, yeah. If he opened the dialogue up to the audience, he's going to have to deal with what the audience says. That's what you do. If the poor bastards who were performing improv theatre acts managed to roll with my suggestion for "games you play" of "Russian roulette" (and I'm sure they were fairly shocked to hear that coming out of the mouth of a twelve year old) he can fucking well deal with someone saying "Dude not funny"
Except he can't. Because he's a jackass.
