the message in the bottle is the booze

Today's first minor irony:

• The Joy of Cooking branded pre-packaged frozen skillet meal.

Today's second minor irony:

• "What a Wonderful World", a duet between Nick Cave and Shane McGowan. This is probably my mom's favorite song, which tells you something about my mom. It was the first song she wanted to listen to on her new iPod. She didn't even have to tell me for me to know which one.

This entry has been sitting here for a week. I ought to ask her if she needs any more help, since she had absolutely no idea how iTunes worked when I started to explain, and only a slightly better idea by the time I went home.

Edit: She called me just to tell me that she bought a fancy set of earphones, and that they sound excellent. <3 When she's eighty and I'm yelling "HOW IS THE WEATHER THERE" into the phone, I'm only going to have myself to blame.
