conversations with Sai

Brian: "Yeah, the action moves pretty slow in this scene."
Sai: "You mean, slowly."
Brian: ".... shuddup."
Sai: "Aren't you a writer?"
Brian: "Well, I don't want to have to be ON all the time."
Sai: "Shouldn't something like this just be automatic?"
Brian: "Well, part of writing fiction is dialogue, so you know, you've got to be able to talk normal."
Sai: "Normally."
Brian: "NO, NORMAL."
Sai: "Normally."



_______________-


This morning (I am supposed to wake Sai up and go to the gym with him at 9am. I show up at 10:45am and he is still asleep. I am also carrying a spare set of old computer speakers for Sai to borrow).

Brian: (takes speaker set and dumps it onto Sai's back).
Sai: "I was already awake a few minutes ago, jackass."
Brian: (picks up speakers, then dumps them on Sai again)
Sai: "ughhh..... I'm so tired."
Brian: I'm going to get a pillow and hit you with it. (Goes to get pillow)
Brian: (starts hitting Sai with pillow)
Sai: "...I will fucking kill you."
Brian: "To kill me, you will have to wake up first, and then I will have already won."
Sai: "Ugh...." (covers head with arms)
Brian: (continues hitting Sai)

I wish I could explain to you my simple wonderment upon watching day turn to night, and night back to day, upon noting the sun and moon running in their courses. If I could fully convey that to someone, I might think they had come to know the best of me.
