Memento
Sometimes when I sit introspectively and review the conversations of the day in my head, I think, “Why didn’t I acknowledge when Sally told me that she was in love with Jack? I just sat there and then changed subjects. Why the heck did I do that? And now I’m remembering that she looked at me funny when I didn’t acknowledge that. WTF?” So I think it all stems from some dormant brain problem that is slowly surfacing as I get further into... Read More

Both are British, both play the same kind of character, but Aldous actually has some wisdom and intelligence behind... Read More
A is to B
Blogging can be a rewarding and/or frustrating source of happiness/malaise. Forests require trees, fortune seems pale, fury seems petty and sometimes you just don’t feel like a good enough writer to compete with other talented bloggers using their accounts to the fullest. For example, let’s say that person A and person B both have blogs. They became a fan of each other in their personal lives and the two of them started dating. But then person B decided to...
