The Good Life

Sometimes I wish I could take a vacation from my life and be my cat for a while. He's got it so good!

Fortune Cookies

As a fan of Chinese food, I've opened many fortune cookies over my lifetime, and I have to say that the quality of fortunes have really declined. Maybe the Hollywood writers' strike is affecting fortune writing.This is a barely concealed advertisement for green tea ice-cream. Which I've heard isn't that good.

Then there's this:This just shows a lack of effort on the fortune's part. I come to the cookie looking for guidance, and it tells me to flip a coin? That's like Ann Landers telling someone to see what Dr. Phil has to say.

I mean, how hard is it to write a fortune?

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, my point in easy to prove through a Fortune Cookie Fortune Generator!
See? Easy! Now make your own and show those Hollywood writers we don't need them! And then tell them to hurry back because I'm really missing watching new episodes of Bones.

Too Cold to Snow

Taylor W. and I were riding the T together when we were talking about the weekend forecast. Taylor said he didn't think it would snow, since the temperature was going to drop very low.
"What," I said, "You think it's going to be too cold to snow?"
Taylor then began to describe to me the scientific reasons why snow can only occur in the right temperature.
"That's why Antarctica is considered a desert, because it doesn't get enough precipitation."
I was incredulous, but since I arrived at my stop I told him he was probably right and left. But I wasn't convinced, so I asked a couple people at work, and finally, my mom. All of them said that yes, it can be too cold to snow.

Which just doesn't make since to me. I'm left with the conclusion that nothing likes to be active when it's cold outside, even snow clouds. Go figure.

Old enough to know better, but too senile to care?

Sweeny Todd

I went to see Sweeny Todd last night with a group of friends. Being with my friends was more fun than the movie itself. Chris has a good analysis of the movie, so I'll let you read his thoughts and know that I "ditto" them.

Happy New Year!
