Twenty-four hours to go (before the Colon test). I want to be sedated.

Ringing Of The Wedding LaBelles
After purchasing a gift for a couple from an online wedding registry, you are given the option of searching for another couple. This put in my mind the thought of people who go around just looking for random couples to send gifts to. They send a gift, then type in a random name, pulling up a list of ten more choices. They choose one, and repeat the process.
Twenty-Five Things I Find Good
To follow an older trend, here are twenty-five things I find good (as the subject of this post so eloquently stated) in no particular order:
Music performances; traveling; performing on stage; watching a play; exploring New York City; the Pacific Ocean; good movies that make you feel; true friendships; computer technology; cuteness; marching band and drum corps performances; kittens; my Project; open spaces; Whose Line Is It Anyway?; intelligence; paradoxical humor; little fluffy clouds; my laptop; real affection; some babies (not all); sleeping; lemonade; Australian accents; giving and receiving massages; family; giving and receiving mix CDs; long phone calls (or long-distance phone calls) with people who make you feel relaxed instead of anxious; singing (loudly) in the car; light rain; getting email from people I haven’t heard from in ten years; the radio station I found to wake me up in the morning; playing Gauntlet with friends; meeting new people; drive-in movies; Amazon wish lists; exceeding expectations.
I Am So Smrt
Musicians Vastly More Intelligent Than Non-Musicians.
Okay, I’m exaggerating, but it is an interesting article. Maybe someday I’ll become some sort of neurologist. The brain fascinates me.
Well, that’s my problem, isn’t it. There are too many things in this world that fascinate me. It’s… fascinating.
In The Money
Get a good job with more pay and you’re okay.
Someone bought a new notebook computer this weekend. He says it’s for The Business. I’m not sure that I believe that. <grin>
Looking Forward To The Past
About the impending release of Back To The Future trilogy on DVD this year (possibly following a theatrical rerelease) that has everyone talking: An “Ultimate Edition” collector’s set in high-definition blue-laser DVD will subsequently be released in 1955.
(Normal DVDs use red lasers, by the way. Blue lasers have a shorter wavelength, thus allowing more data to be written in the same area.)
It’s Official
Happy Vestalia! I’m celebrating by seeing a Star Wars exhibit in Brooklyn. How are you celebrating Midsummer?
More To Distract Us
Does it really matter who Deep Throat’s identity was? Stories like this only tend to distract us from things that are really going on.
Did I mention I truly dislike politics?
I Flunked The Dance Dance Revolution
This just in from Ernie: The video game Dance Dance Revolution (the game that stole its initials from West Germany) can now be “taken” for credit in middle school gym classes.
Well, it is good exercise and it gets the kids interested in physical education, so I see where they’re coming from. But what about the bad music? What about Britney Spears-lookalikes looking like whores? Will the tight tank top be the new gym sweatshirt? Will people trade in their “Athletic XXL” tee-shirts for “Dance Dance XXS?” Will the gym classes take field trips to the Jersey Shore boardwalks? These are the important issues, folks.
Too Much
I saw Lewis Black at Town Hall in the City with our friends Darren and M-D. He followed two openers, one of whom was amusing, with an extra-long set including much of the routine he did back at the beginning of the year (I think that’s when it was) when I saw him last.
On Saturday, I worked on my Project, saw Insomnia with Darren and Denise which was interesting but not special, and worked on my Project some more.
Yesterday was a day for sleeping and a nice Father’s Day dinner with my dad. Also, I worked on the Project.
