Overheard:
"Maybe it's just really quiet." - BH, trying to explain the behavior of a microwave, which he had yet to realize was broken.
Overheard:
Me: "Did your heart skip a beat?"
JL: "Not really. Not anymore than it usually does when I leave you in charge of something important with a small margin of error."
It's scary how dependent I am on the internet. Yesterday I needed it to get directions, check my email, update my weblog, amongst other activities. The new house I am staying in doesn't have internet, and no one seems as concerned about this as I am. What's wrong with them? The internet is my teacher, friend, and partner in crime.
Blogging is somewhat of a strange practice. It's got a very journalish feel, so I'm inclined to just put my raw thoughts out there, but of course, some of my thoughts are rather personal and involve other people, some of whom I'm not sure would appreciate me putting observations about them up for the whole world to see. Can you imagine dating someone who was blogging about how the relationship was going? You would be able to go to a web site and possibly learn more about your relationship than by talking to that person, especially in the early stages of a relationship. Strange.
Who's excited about the Hulk movie? I am. Although it distresses me a little that the Hulk is putting his name on so many questionable products. Hulk hot dogs? Hulk chocolate syrup? Now I don't like to use the word "sell-out" - all I'm saying is that before, the Hulk was really in it for the wanton destruction of property and injury of others. And, of course, for the fans. But with all this new fame, I'm afraid he's really toning down that reckless rampage style that was his thing, and going for a new, more "comfortable" approach, something that more accessible to the mainstream, especially the hotdog and chocolate syrup buying crowd. Sigh. Well, he's gotta make a living, just like everyone else.

He wrote several awful things about her, saying she was a "bitch" and what have you. They broke up after she read it. Isn't that sad? I also used to work with a guy that talked a lot of shit about me on his online journal. I hate where we've ended up.
