At my parents’ place last night for dinner ->
MOM – “My iPod just went dead. Just stopped working. So I threw it away.”
ME – “Did you try charging it or changing the battery?”
MOM (blank stare) – “I didn’t need it anyways. I have my iPhone.”

“Iran’s Guardian Council: Election Was Kosher”
– The headline for my Slate “Today’s Papers” e-mail summary. Somehow I don’t think they said that exactly.
When you die

Pointless information
A Q&A segment in tomorrow’s paper talks about Web logs, often referred to as “blogs.” It tells you what they are, how you can start one, how they are different from those new “social networking sites.” Our newspaper: Giving you information that was current in 2003.
Things I Google so I can attempt to sound smart if the opportunity arises: “How to pronounce Colm Tóibín.”
Really?
There are only nine Barnes & Nobles and one Borders in the entire state of Alabama. This depresses me.
Things not to listen to at work: Radiohead. Holy crap.

Humans suck.
I just accidently ran over a bunny on my way home. I turned back around to see if it was hurt, and I saw it there, dead. Another bunny was nearby, watching. Probably sad about his friend. I’m a horrible person.

Maybe it would have been best if we’d never met.
Actual sign
On a store in Tennessee:
“Video’s Plus”
The Plus is owned by the Video? Sad times.

I just found what I’ll be doing at work for the next several days …
Find the error!
A sentence in a story we’re publishing. Guess which part is wrong!
“McCullough tells Brown to think of a serious movie — he chooses “Philadelphia” where characters played by Tom Hanks and Antonio Banderas suffer from AIDS and where Banderas’ character, Miguel Alvarez, dies.”
Gah.
L.A. SNOB
Scene: Online conversation about whether where I live has video stores.
Daniel: Do you have a video store?
Me: Hahaha. Shut up. Yes.
Daniel: I’m serious. OK.
Me: Several. Ass.
Daniel: I don’t know.
Me: We’re not that small. Think Abilene.
Daniel: :(
Me: haha
Daniel: Ah OK. I was thinking like 20 houses and a Super S Foods.
Me: :( Look at me, I live in L.A.!
Daniel:...
Actual conversation
Setting: Used bookstore, Florence, Alabama
Me: “Do you have any Tolstoy?”
Clerk: “Toy Story?”
Me: “Tol-stoy.”
Other clerk: “I’m not sure. I always get him confused with Dos … Dost …”
Me: “Dostoyevsky.”
Other clerk: “Right.”
They didn’t have any.
Oh, sure, you've only had power for, like,...
I cannot fucking believe that white men are bitching about affirmative action in the Sotomayor nomination. Gah. GAH.
