Nothing Much Going On
Sometimes I wish newspapers would use that as a top headline, maybe perhaps in bold and large font like they do when somebody loses a huge war. My life would somehow seem more complete on that day. What the hell is a complete life anyway? Maybe I'll save that rant for another day.
Formula 1 is at the Nurburgring this weekend. That is in Germany, near Toyota F1's Cologne headquarters. The 'Ring's special F1 track has the special distinction of being the most boring track for drivers on the schedule. But more and more I'm beginning to think F1 is about noise, fast cars, and money. For instance, I'm never going to be able to drive on that track in a 2006-spec F1 car, so why do I care how fun it is to drive on? I wonder where passing is on that list
I got an email from Nicole, who was a friend a long time ago. But I think I got too 'deep' in my response, and now I think Nicole will continue her habit of taking years between trying to contact me. I just think it's common courtesy that if someone just wants to write me a superficial hello email, they should type "THIS IS A SUPERFICIAL HELLO EMAIL" in the subject line.
I can't understand why people send Superficial Hello Emails anyway. Maybe they just want me to know they are doing fine, that they are not dead or whoring themselves on the street for crack or paying down a life debt in the yakuza or whatever. I guess that's fine, but honestly, I think I would rather prefer an email from the latter.
So Goodbye Nicole, it's like I just recently never knew you all over again.
In better news, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is probably the single most entertaining anime I've seen in years. It is currently airing. I think I will write about its awesomeness in my next post.

Very interesting - I think I met Nicole once...cute girl. Well, forget about her (although I don't know what "deep" means...maybe you did something wrong). =P
About the "superficial hello" emails...I think there's a difference between guys and girls. Guys can go for months...years even without being in touch, but when they do, we're still best of friends. Girls on the other hand...if you don't contact them fairly often, you lose that friendship. Maybe that's the reason for the "superficial hello" emails? I don't know...
I know that I do them to keep in touch with people and maintain friendships - just to let them know I haven't forgotten about them. Might just be a business habit that I picked up when I was younger - think of the old saying..."It's not what you know, it's who you know."
Geez, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the STUPIDEST anime series I have ever seen. Okay, okay, I admit that I am a straight female, so of course, the girls with large breasts in a bunny suit will not appeal to me. Also, women getting undressed or getting groped is not that interesting to me. Well, I think I just summarized the first three or four episodes. To be fair, I did laugh a few times, but the utter boredom in between was not really worth it. They could have at least made the lead guy hot. Then maybe I would think it was entertaining too.
Yeah but, sexual harassment is funny!
Sort of.
But yeah. The more recent episodes have been getting less and less humorous, and more like any generic storyline that you might expect from a typical anime. That is opposite to the original reason that I liked Haruhi at first.
It was funnier before because all the "what the fuck" moments, but now not so much
But the characterization is still cool, so I have hope. It's just over halfway done.
