Holy cow.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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 just read a news article from 1972 that has a picture of Fred Pete. Perhaps not our Fred Pete, but it was fun to see.
I think this is my first time before 100.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Egad, new thread, huh?
I just ate a grilled cheese sandwich, but I'm starving. I think I'm going to eat a banana as well.
OMG, I eat like a toddler.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Three of the last four things I ate were a banana, a muffin, and peanut butter on toast, so don't feel bad.

Up with the sun
Skipping ahead...
Speaking of TDS, Jon was en fuego last night with Bernard "Fathead" Goldberg.
I've seen a few people say that, but I thought it was a terrible interview. Jon was basically making the argument that we should be more concerned with, e.g., the weapons of mass destruction issue than with Bono saying fuck at the Grammys or Barbra Streisand's blog. Which is absolutely true, but ... there's *always* something bigger to worry about. If I complain about a broken nail, it doesn't mean I don't know that women in Saudi Arabia can't drive.
I think the more valid discussion was one Jon abandoned pretty quickly, about how critics have been saying society is getting worse for the last several thousand years, and yet somehow we always muddle through. I would have liked to hear how Goldberg would respond to that.

Missed the roll-over due to taking an extended lunch, so as to avoid the ant spray in my office. Fun!

I'll probably skip it in favor of a cup of tea, but I *did* just get up from a nap, so I've covered toddler behavior as well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
But I think that's part of the same point he was making. In other words, the cultural changes, like people saying "fuck" on TV, are not where the problem lies and not where the focus of change should be. Goldberg was the one claiming these people are "screwing up America" and that basic premise is what's flawed.

Our wings are not tired.
I slept through TDS last night. I'll have to try and catch the repeat after tonight's show.
Ant spray = Ewwww. I thought traps were used for ants. When I get them the bug guy puts goo in little traps and they happily march in and die.
