No, Roger Ebert is Actually Just an Asshole
A quote floats around in my brain most days for the way that it’s phrased, mainly, the simple way it conveys something complex. It’s this, about twitter of all damned things:
Instead of telling one friend “I think he’s cool,” [we] reach dozens: “Who thinks he’s cool?” The answers twitter in. Me. Not me. No way. This is not conversation, but it is...

Dream journal: Simon Frankson picks a fight
nickdouglas:
Last night’s [dream] put me and my twee Internet friend Simon Frankson outside a dark encampment. Simon picked a fight with a burly man who gave him a black eye. I rescued Simon, then…entered a cat show with my sister Jillian? Except we absenteed the cat? And it was Misty, the family cat who (in real life) has been dead for years?

I agree with the spirit of this but...

Kenner Toy Commercial for Yoda →
For the first time Yoda comes complete with legendary snake prop (of luke-taking-snakes-off-of-things fame). I am selling all of my Star Wars things to antsy collectors. I am having conversations about how needed Lando was in the second run of 1995 for Kenner. It makes me sad that I know about Star Wars action figures and not something more useful like the order of the months.
