nothing is more tedious than the thoughts of someone else
It's 11.53pm on a Friday night. I'm sitting here thinking.
About intelligence, and how people always say it's not fair to discriminate based on intelligence because everyone's intelligent in their own way. I've never agreed (except out of politeness). It may be true that most people are good at something, or have some degree of expertise or talent in some area, but that's not the same as being really intelligent. You can always tell. It's kind of a combination of knowing a few things very well, and knowing a bit about a lot of other things, and being interested in everything else you don't know. This means you're able to talk about most things and are happy to learn about the rest and, really, what is intelligence if not the basis for good conversation?
About crushes, and how it's been ages since I've really had a good one. A heart-stopping, mind-numbing, dizzyingly good one. Not since college, I think. He's not counted, because it was more than a crush; and he's not counted either, because it was less than one. But this one that will go nowhere - this is a good one. I'm rather enjoying it, for as short as it may last.
About loyalty, and how you can rationalise everything but when it comes down to it you know clearly which side you stand on. And how sometimes it's a bitch.
About speakers, and how I bought kick-ass ones yesterday at Sim Lim after being physically unable to get into the IT show due to lack of carpark space. Massive Attack sounds so much better now. I'm also tempted to get the 22" Dell LCD. B. rightly pointed out that that would be a stupid decision, seeing that I just bought my 19" widescreen... but it's sooo pretty.
And finally about 300, and how we sat around today discussing whether Alexander the Great was a Greek (as usual A. was right and he was Macedonian), whether the Greeks and the Romans were the same (as usual B. said something intellectual here that I can't remember), and which historical figure was the one Brad Pitt played again? (as usual the bimbo prize goes to I.) Dying to watch it, even though A. O. Scott's review is probably much better.
Should I log in to WoW now? Haiz.
