*Blink*
Karma: Well, now. You do have quite a bit on your plate, haven’t you?
DT: So glad you noticed. You’re not planning anything I should know about, are you?
K: Well, you know, I was actually just about to ask you the same thing.
DT: Waitaminute. Aren’t you supposed to be the annoyingly omniscient and vengeful being capable of unparallelled schadenfreude?
K: Normally I don’t act on anything unless you’ve already done it. Fortunately for you, merely contemplating evil deeds doesn’t count - though some of those uncharitable thoughts are going to come back at you later - I’m still working out the details.
DT: Thanks for the heads up. Frankly, I’m too busy to get into trouble at the moment - that birthday party, Super Bowl plans, a trip to see Things One and Two - and that’s all starting after this class is over with.
K: And then there’s that turning thirty thing.
DT: Yes. And that. In April. I can always count on you to remember such things.
K: Just wanted to make sure you hadn’t forgotten. Well, I really must toddle off.
DT: Always a pleasure, K. Oh - before you go. About that other thing? Thanks.
K: No need to thank me. My job does work in both directions, you know. Here - have some Nutella, too.
Turning thirty? In April… hmm… I’d suggest a party, but your inhuman schedule being what it is, a better idea might be a peaceful vacation somewhere and a stack of good books.
hmmm… thirty… that’s coming up for me soon too. Crazy.
vvk: 1978 was a quality year, indeed.
