Conversation between shadesong just now:

Me (holding up newspaper): I'm writing a complaint letter to the AJC.

'song: Why?

Me: Because there's this article in the food section entitled "Hot Buns," and you're not listed.

I love it when the newspaper feeds me straight lines in the morning.

Kids on relationships

Walking home from karate last night, Elayna explained how she got together with her current boyfriend, Jake.

"When I told Jake that I was going to marry Patrick, he got upset, and said, 'no! I want you to marry me!' So I said I'd marry Jake, and I told Patrick that I couldn't marry him anymore."

So I asked her, naturally, if Patrick was upset.

"No. I'm glad he took it okay. I didn't want to hurt him, either."

I can only imagine if adults were so complacent about relationships. :-)

The Empire -- the good guys?

Hee. I've already seen plenty of articles talking about how Star Trek is the democratic universe, and SW the elitist one (based on the original trilogy), but this is a nifty read as well.

Amazon has a new feature -- you can recommend books or music that someone should buy instead of the item in question. This is fun. :-) I just went to Interview with a Vampire and recommended both Agyar and Guilty Pleasures instead. :-) I could really go wild with this feature.
