Much like my end-of-year photos, I had a few miscellaneous video clips that didn’t seem to fit in anywhere.
Parental Sit Rep
This is the typical thing that happens when I first see John in person. Since it’s usually only once a year I get to do this, we do all major updating. The minor issues are taken care of on a weekly basis over the phone.
I didn’t realize what sit rep meant until I heard it again while going through my footage.
Exhaling Food
And, of course, John gets his turn at catching me up with all his drama. The way John expresses himself often ends up making me laugh at inopportune moments, such as when I’m trying to swallow solid foods, which then tries to make its way through my nasal cavity.
PDA = public display of affection.
Bubble Juggler
Trolley makes a good attempt at juggling two vials of bubble mix, then gets served by a passer-by.
Drinking Buddy
OPEN BAR, DUDE.
Mother
I had John in a tender state, telling me about his mothers last moments. Even though I found out on the first day of school in grade 10 that she died, he never told me the details until that rainy summer day.
This is great! I really do love this. Another way to keep hold of memories.
That’s the idea. :)
I actually nearly posted to ask what sit rep was, but as I typed it it became obvious. I had a roommate who based every major life decision on the Boondock Saints for about 3 weeks, it was interesting to say the least.
I don’t think I could follow all the tenets of Boondock Saints, but the idea of indifference is something well studied in psychology with the case of Kitty Genovese (whom the priest in the beginning mentions as well).
