Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm watching Real Genius. The litle kid in it looks startlingly like Sarah Jessica Parker. Why didn't Val Kilmer do more comedy? This also reminds me that Spartan was pretty good, too.
Also, this site is appearing in Time Roman and without pictures. Why is that?
Do you build a memorial at the bottom of the basement stairs that little Bobby fell down and broke his neck on? To me it's too much like "I want to share my grief with the entire world!"That's how it's struck me, in the past.
I think it's unquestionably sharing -- but sharing that, in Brenda's example, is people reaching out to each other in shock and grief -- over someone they didn't even know.
What's wrong with sharing grief? When did that become bad?As soon as you cross the border into one of the six New England states, maybe.
I figured the people who were gaining from the shared memorials were gaining more than I, who doesn't really care, was losing. So it doesn't bother me much. Reminds me a bit to be careful too.
The occasional cross or whatever on the highway doesn't really ping me, except in a be-careful way. But the street (as opposed to highway) kind of memorial seems to turn into mini-shrine. There are pictures, balloons, teddy bears, notes, dead flowers (nobody goes back and removes the flowers, it seems).
Also, this site is appearing in Time Roman and without pictures. Why is that?
That happens to me occasionally when I'm using BitTorrent, which sucks up all sorts of resources (buffers and such) that my browser and email programs would normally use.
I restarted and it went away. Hmm.
Happy Birthday, victor!
The roadside shrines seem macabre to me, but I'm willing to accept that they comfort some people. It's like open-casket funerals -- I hate them, but they're a cultural norm.
I'm watching Real Genius.
I watched part of that this afternoon. I loved that movie so much as a kid.
Happy Birthday Victor!
This sort of struck me in this mornings news. Didn't even thank them for the cookies. Cookie Girls
I Loved Real Genius too. But as far as Val Kilmer comdies goes, for me it's Top Secret.
Happy Birthday, victor!
Happy Birthday, Micole!
Happy Birthday, Aidan!
I have to finish the homework associated with my England class.
I really don't wanna. Can't I just go to England for two weeks and not learn anything?
Happy birthday Victor!
