Slate's Guide to Facebook Etiquette. Because what better way to find out how to behave properly on the internet, then looking it up on the internet?
So this past weekend I stopped being in the 2% of American households that do not have ice cream in their freezer, and became part of the 98% that do. I love ice cream and all, but it was just one of those things that I felt it was better not to have around easy to eat, as then I would be tempted to eat it. If I don't have it in the house, I can't eat it. This philospohy carries over to other stuff in my kitchen, like my complete lack of chips, cookies, frozen pizza, or really any sort of junk food. Not to say I don't eat that stuff when I eat out or at other people's places, but I know I'd eat way more crappy stuff if I had it at home too.
I was reading through the Chronicle tonight, and noticed an ad that Al Gore is coming to speak at the University of Texas in their basketball arena, and that tickets were on sale that Saturday. And I thought, "Tickets?" It turns out UT charges people, even their students, to see famous people like Al Gore, with an lower level ticket costing $50 and even a nosebleed seat is $30. It makes me appriciate getting to see all the people I did at UF, completely for free. And free for the public too. I like Mr. Gore and all, but I'm not going to pay $50 to see him talk.
This is just all kinds of awesome. To quote: "We don't have dumbbells here. We don't have weights. We have dancing". I can just see a musical being made out of this, with the prisoner discovering his hidden talent as a dancer and then trying to make it big on Broadway after he gets out of jail. I'd see it.
