OK, OK; I admit it. I saw Kill Bill vol.2 at the cinema.
I watched vol.1 at home on DVD. I bought a katana.
A <a href="http://mattgemmell.com/images/chen_katana.jpg">Paul Chen Practical Katana</a>,
for those who are interested. Carbon steel, RC60 blade.
Anyway, Fiona is very much against swords, so I was somewhat hesitant to let her know
that one was on the way. I was talking about this with the guys on IRC earlier.
Gary: | Matt: how did Fi react to the buying of a sword? |
Matt: | she doesn't know yet g |
Matt: | was saying to neil earlier, |
Matt: | I said to her that I "might start a collection" |
Matt: | she says "I'd think very carefully about that." |
Gary: | hehe |
Gary: | I can see amusing times ahead |
Matt: | so I ask why, and she says "because it will cause serious problems between you and me" |
Matt: | so I've got a few days to talk her round to the idea of swords |
Matt: | before a big fucking katana arrives. |
Neil: | perhaps she collects swords too |
Gary: | dude, you really are a tit at times, but in an amusing way |
Neil: | and she'd have to fight you to the death if you started your own collection |
Neil: | haha |
Gary: | Matt: you don't happen to have a shed you could hide it in? |
Matt: | the way I see it, |
Matt: | it's an interest of mine (now), and she should respect that |
Matt: | besides, another important point is this: when the sword arrives, and she gets annoyed, |
Matt: | I WILL HAVE A SWORD. |
Gary: | lmao. Exactly. |
Neil: | It's statistically safer than Cross Stitching. |
Update: I've since told her, and whilst she was indeed furious, she's calmed down a bit now.
Gary: | burgers and jaffa cakes secured? |
Matt: | indeedy |
Matt: | burgers are being made right now |
Matt: | also told her about the sword |
Gary: | and the jaffa cakes? |
Gary: | how did she take it? |
Matt: | yes I got the god damn jaffa cakes! One of those new-fangled tubes. |
Matt: | she said she was furious, but seems not too bad |
Matt: | did say that if I ever swung it in her presence, she'd leave me. |
Gary: | a tube of jaffa cakes? What kinda of craziness is that? They should come in a box or, if of the mini- variety, a bag |
Matt: | looks cool anyway |
Gary: | dude, if she tries to leave you, just swing it closer. |
