Things That I Think About When I Go For Almost A Day Without Speaking To Someone I Know

• Why is it that The King and I is an excellent (if moderatly racist) movie with Yul Brenner singing songs about his awesomeness and the remake with Jodie Foster is all about dead Burmese children?
• I don't know how to define the word 'laconic'. Well, I didn't until I looked it up just know.
• White chocolate Kit Kats sound gross, even though I love white chocolate. Why is this?
• I never really gave it a lot of though, but I always kind of assumed that Ahab and Ishmael were the same dude.
• Marcus Flutie.
• Why did Tailspin have all those characters from The Jungle Book?
• I hate the name Deirdre.
• If my eyes were a camera I would take so many cool pictures.
• Why do the buses always play such categorically shitty movies? Alien vs. Predator? Again? Really?
