2/15/08

* Dear Marc, 20/15 is better than 20/20. teehee. (I think it's twisted payback for getting clobbered in the glasses so many times in dodgeball as a kid.)
* At any given point, there will be at least -- AT LEAST -- 14 things in life that are completely frustrating.
* I'd like to think of them as love bites, but I'm really starting to think my cat's trying to sever an extremity.
* Ever wonder how google, yahoo, facebook, etc. always seem to have ads for things you're interested in? Well, it's because they can track what you click on -- and, in facebook's case, what your friends click on and buy -- and tailor the ads to what they have concluded (statistically) that you will like and are most likely to buy.
* I feel like I should say something about the shootings at Northern. But to be honest, I don't know what to say that hasn't been said more poetically by someone else. It blows my mind that these things keep happening. This was the fourth school shooting in the U.S. recently. I'd like to think that this didn't used to happen. But maybe I just didn't pay attention before. And to see people who are affected -- even two or three times removed from it directly -- makes it even more real. I can't say I relate in any way because I've never had to deal with something that tragic and I can't begin to fathom what the families, students and faculty at Northern are just starting to deal with or the struggles that will come with the recovery process. So the best I can do is say that my thoughts are with them, just like millions of others'. I don't have any answers or solutions. And I know that no one can change the past, only try to do what they can to shape the future.

Arg. I always forget that stupid inverse relationship. Well congratulations then honey but do you think I should get LASIK then? So I can see 20/.00000000001? Cause that would be pretty interesting.
