Potent Quotables (or, Non-random quotes from last month, paraphrased and in context)

Ian:
[seeing my desktop background] Did you take this picture?

me:
I did, yeah.

Ian:
Is this your view from the window?

me:
Yeah. I just took it from out on the balcony.

Ian:
... This is a nice picture.

me:
Oh, thank you.

Graham:
Wow. That's high praise, coming from Ian. He doesn't usually give such high praise.

me:
I know!

Ian:
... Maybe it just looks good because of your monitor.

Graham:
See?
