The names Duggar and Dugard sound awfully similar…

ID: nope because i don’t watch youtube
RR: what’s your deal?
ID: i am a crazy person
i gave you this disclaimer really early on
RR: facebook is one thing
what’s wrong with youtube?
ID: perusing youtube=wading in a sea of mediocrity
wasting time
RR: you tell me you never wade in the waters of mediocrity?
you tell me you never kill time?
ID: i try not to
RR: i have a gameboy ds
ID: i don’t know
i guess i waste time
but not via youtube
it’s just
i don’t believe in totally free speech
some people should not be allowed to broadcast themselves
RR: lol
no i believe in it. i think people are naive and too easily believe their thoughts are original
ID: absolutely
RR: I think free speech would be enhanced if people had a filter that made them realize what they’re saying/doing has been said/done 1,000 times before, and therefore is of no interest to anyone
i think you need to watch youtube either way
ID: your powers of reasoning are truly baffling
i feel completely disarmed
RR: i have been known to baffle
and disarm

My friend B, who is also addicted to Intervention, sent me this link today:

Accompanied by this note:

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? DID THEY STEAL THIS OUT OF OUR BRAINS????

I don’t like to say that I called certain trends but…okay, maybe I do like to say that.  We had this exact idea, though, almost two years ago.  That’s right.  Two years.  Talk about trend forecasting.  I also called the return of the 90s/babydoll little floral print dress, but who’s counting?

“This little keyboard is really bothersome too- feel like the iPhone’s for people with identity problems ie it will tell you were you are, remind you what you look like, what to do next, where friends are & what they look like etc.”

Isn’t it funny when technology tries to tell you what you like?

Right now, according to my Netflix, I ought to seriously considering renting…

Crime dramas from the 70s

Movies Starring Audrey Hepburn

Critically-acclaimed Visually-striking Cerebral movies (Is this a genre?!)

Dark movies based on real life

Suspenseful cult movies

Okay, so maybe I’ve seen (and enjoyed) half the movies on this list, but I still think my iPod has this conspiracy where it makes happy songs come on my shuffle when I am in NO MOOD to be cheered up.

Sarah Palin was “pregnant” with the retarded kid…her water broke, and she got on a plane to go from Houston (Dallas?), where they have perfectly respectable hospitals, to Alaska? No doctor in the world would sanction that move…

…because in no other context would it be acceptable to get up and LEAVE the conversation UNNANOUNCED.  The floor has dropped out from beneath us.

…on another note (still coming from the unibomber side of my brain, though), I have gotten TWO comments from people I do not “know” (not in the e-sense) in the past month!  How do you find me?!  What do you want me to write about?  I can talk about anything, fo serious.  Lint, incest, pizza, nineteenth century Russian history…okay, maybe not so much that last one, but I can talk about Infinite Jest!  And not many people (at least not many who say “fo serious”) can claim that!  *Cue dissenting statements.

ID: oh man

Theory: Michael Jackson is more “alive”/beloved now than he has been in the past ten years.
