Random

OK. Random things:

  1. I had a dream last night/this morning. No plot. No (clearly understood) insight into my life or the human condition, generally. The dream? A tight camera shot of a monkey's hand being fingerprinted. It was a monkey, rather than an ape... it had orange hair, like an orangutan, but since the point of view was so close-up on its hands I couldn't tell what kind of monkey it was (although I just knew it wasn't an ape). I also realize that monkeys tend to have paws, rather than hands, but since it was being fingerprinted, I think it's fair to call this monkey's paws, at least, hands. Maybe it was a monkey like this. I am not sure.
  2. I don't like that the MySpace titles are so inconsistent. You might not ever have noticed, but up at the top of the browser window, it usually reads something like "MySpace.com - Ed 0. - 34 - Male - Seattle, Washington". When one is editing one's blog, it reads simply "MySpace". But when one looks at pictures, it reads "Myspace.com Photo Albums". Can a brother get an intercap, please? Either capitalize the "s" or do not. But you're trying my patience and pissing me off a little bit.
  3. Today is Thursday which means, last I checked, that tonight is Thursday night. Of all the adventures I've had, the most interesting ones have occurred on Thursday nights. There's no guarantee that I will have any sort of adventure tonight (and no guarantee that, if I did, it could be objectively considered "interesting"), but it's still Thursday night and I hold out hope. Last Thursday night I wore a baseball cap cocked to the left... seemingly unironically. No adventure was had (by me, at least) but at least I was willing to look like a moron in the hopes of having one.
  4. I'll be in Hawaii this time next week. I keep thinking about how awesome it is going to be, and how nothing can ever spoil the perfect vacation. I figure that if I set my expectations really REALLY high, then even if only 80% of the expectations are met, I will still be happy in relative terms. That's how expectations should be managed, right?
