Well Hello

Every year, and it generally only happens once a year, I have a dream about a childhood ex boyfriend. I think I dated him on and off during 6, 7 and 8th grade. He turned into a serious jerk. I'm sad to think that he takes those traits into his adult life. So I guess last night was the once a year get together. And no it wasn't THAT kind of dream. I think I talked to him in a bar. He mentioned he was getting married. I mentioned I was getting married. I couldn't figure out if he was doing all right. He wasn't sure how he'd get home in that he was drunk as hell. I suggested the bus.

And that was it.

TV Wonderland

I'm watching a lot of Fringe right now due to some bad habits with internet TV. I've noticed in this show, and I'm sure it's true for a lot of television and movies, that on the phone people often have the following change:

Person 1: Hello.
Person 2. Peter?
Person 1: What's wrong.
Person 2: I just think that you should come back [to the lab].

You can take this conversation and translate it across many situations. I understand that it's for suspension. I get its point. It's one of those devices that we totally accept onscreen as a viewer, but would never accept in real life. Here's how it'd go if it was me on the phone.

Interesting

I clicked on this because I thought the title was ridiculous. But oh. So. Interesting. Especially to someone like me who would like a pet but also thinks screwing the environment isn't awesome.

Ecosmackdown: Pets Versus Solar Panels

It could fall slightly into the "two things not really related" category of assessment. But still. I like it.

Three Things Shower Water Sounds Like

I'm always trying to figure out tastes, but rarely am I trying to figure out sounds. Shower water against my skin sounded like:

1. A faster version of the standard car alarm off in the distance. Or maybe a siren but on fast forward just a wee bit.
2. Steaming milk for a latte.
3. Large group of water birds chirping at take off. I picture one of those National Geographic pictures of a big lagoon where a thousand birds take off and there is a frenzy of sound.

I think there must have been a squeak as the water pushed through the shower head. That's the only way I can reason 1 and 3.
