The weekend "Buh?"
Jun. 13th, 2009 05:22 pmLast weekend's "buh?" was trying to figure out how on earth the used side of the scrap paper I'd used to print a ticket was for bus schedules for Chicago when I've never been to Chicago. (I'm open to guessing what this was about, but I'm pretty sure it's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thucyken's fault.)
This weekend's "buh?" was learning that, by "treasurer" of the GSA they also meant "secretary" who also "keeps the minutes of the meetings". This made yesterday's GSA meeting interesting. (Does anyone know how to keep minutes properly?)
Next weekend is Father's Day, which means family time, which means I'm sure there will be more. Family is always good for "buh?" moments.

Speaking of my family, I spoke to my grandmother this morning, and we talked about her recent trip to BC to visit my uncle in Victoria and my aunt up in the mountains. One of the days she was up in the mountains, my aunt took her out on a ferry ride across one of those gorgeous glacial lakes to what I guess is some kind of artist/artisan colony.
And my darling, 85-year-old grandmother geeked out at me (no kidding) because one of the artisans makes brooms, and is in fact the person who makes brooms for the Harry Potter movies. This wasn't just a case of her having heard of Harry Potter and repeating a young person's pop culture reference. No, she confessed to sending a gleeful postcard to her best friend about how cool it would be to have real working witches' brooms. I love my grandmother.
