Tidbits 1.0

--Something I would like to try one time is to rent a movie I've never seen before, then watch it with the sound off. Just to see if I can understand what is going on. Or maybe watch it in reverse. Or in another language.
--I kinda would like to take a lesson in knitting. I think it's fascinating to find out how one ball of yarn, one string can fit together to make something like a sweater. Kinda like how you can make a lobster out of one square piece of paper without making any cuts.
--One thing I find interesting is watching the gas prices change at the three gas stations in front of my work. You know, kind of like they're fighting for the lowest price.
--Speaking of gas prices, I hate it when they fit the letters and numbers upside down on their price signs. The larger half of the 3 is supposed to be on the bottom!
--"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman is playing on my music player right now. I love it because it's one of the few songs that truly evoke not only emotion, but an image, as well. It's an incredibly powerful song where you can feel the plight of the singer. Billy Joel's "Piano Man" is another such song.
--Why the hell would anyone ask for Playstation Games at an arts & crafts store?!
--I need to come up with an idea for a Halloween costume this year.
--Don't you hate it when you have a wet dream about someone you really shouldn't have a wet dream about?
--If I could go back in time, I would go to the time of Jesus. I'd bring a Bible with me and ask for His autograph.

I concur about "Fast Car." It's one of my favorite songs. It's the story of someone who makes all the wrong decisions yet is still hopeful about life. Plus, Tracy Chapman has one of the most interesting voices for a female singer.
