ME: [talking to computer, over which I am trying to order fabric] I want a knit—I think modal or something similar.
COMPUTER: I have that!
ME: Excellent, I need—
COMPUTER: I have SUNSET ORANGE and NEON YELLOW.
ME: Um. Do you have something less, uh, bright?
COMPUTER: I have SUNSET ORANGE and NEON YELLOW.
ME: Yeah, okay, but it’s for clothing. For me. So, maybe, like, charcoal? Espresso? Sage? Something blue?
COMPUTER: I have SUNSET ORANGE and NEON YELLOW.
ME: I’ll keep that in mind next time I need to dress like a pumpkin or a… a… a pineapple.
DANE: Are you talking to the computer screen?
ME: I’m trying to buy fabric.
DANE: And to do that you’re talking to the computer screen?
ME: You just can’t hear what it’s saying to me.
DANE: Right…




BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I’ve had that conversation.
Tell your computer “goodnight, sunshine,” and confuse it. Maybe it will cough up the good stuff.
Next stop, Dharma Trading Company for dye?
I hadn’t thought to confuse the computer! That will be my next strategy. Or I guess maybe I could try another fabric store, but that seems kind of hard.
Dyeing also seems kind of hard. Really I’m just afraid I’ll stain the few articles of clothing I currently wear… but maybe I need to brave up a bit? My sister knows how, I should get her to come help me!
