Married

Someone's getting married under a willow tree, and I'm going to be taking pictures...

As the the train slows into the station, and the woman over the loudspeaker says "Please remain seated until the car comes to a complete stop. Thank you for riding New York, enjoy the rest of your time here at Life," I squeeze my lapbar, not wanting to get off.

A question...

Perhaps this is due to the fact that I no longer watch television, but I can't help but wonder if we have become so jaded as a culture that the events at Virgnia Tech, of unprecidented and vile proportions, have only affected us in terms of a new sensational story to take our minds off of Anna Nicole, or a few moments of shock before returning to our own Starbucks-cup-of-coffee lives.

AIM

I just love it when you sign on to AIM, and you start talking to someone. And then they get mad at you and tell you that they "can't talk right now, because they've got a lot of work to do," even though they don't have an away message up. And then they say something that implied that all you ever do is sit around and chat on AIM, even though this is certainly not the case. (One such person even went as far to state this explicitly.) And then they tell you to stop talking to them, yet they continue to remain online, sans away message, never once having an inactive satus. It must be of tremendous difficulty to set one's away message, to "homework", or "busy", or even the default "away". And it most certainly be too much to sign off, or even not sign on in the first place. Sigh... This must be the new, unspoken ettiquite of AIM, along with letting messages go entirely unanswered, despite being online for hours on end. That, and never bothering to answer emails either. Hmmmm... Such is life, and it stinks.

Hmmm...
