I have very little energy today, perhaps because I used all of it up buying a coat. I finally bought a winter coat (something I haven't done in YEARS). It was a little traumatic but I got through it. I'm gonna need it when I go to Utah in November. Maxine wants to try cross-country skiiing and I can't not join her...
I'm not getting very far in "domestic week", I have A LONG WAY TO GO!!!! My goal now is to finish by the end of the weekend. I also need to figure out what I need for Baltimore as I am leaving a week from today. I didn't fully realise it was that soon until last night I was thinking about it... Of course it's soon, that's why I couldn't find a flight- I was trying to book less than 14 days in advance.
Pre-season hockey started; am I happy? Actually, I'm really not a hockey fan until the play-offs. Maybe that'll change in New York; it does look like fun to go to a Rangers game.
I wrote an Epinion today on television commercials. I never thought I'd write one of those pointless epinions, but I did. The idea came out of no where. I was thinking last night and the title came first- "If commercials were like epinions...", then I had to come up with something to say about that, so I did. My favourite line was, "If commercials were like epinions, we'd know that not only does your toothache go away faster than you can say Ambosol, but your toothache will come back faster than you can say Ambosol." So I was thinking about it last night and today while I was surfing epinions, I found out there was a category for television commercials. Well, then I just had to do one. We'll see what people think...
I finally got to talk to Paula. She said that if she had answered when I called those times, she would have talked to me for a few minutes, so I should just be irritated with Harvey. Anyway, we were talking about why countries go to war and she told me about this interesting statement by Thomas Friendman:
"No two countries that have a McDonalds have ever been to war with each other." I thought that was an interesting thing to think of.
