In Rememberance of the Day

I wrote these words eight years ago. They’re still true today.

I don’t have a problem with remembering the terrible human tragedy that occurred eight years ago today. I think it would do us all good to pause and reflect on how terrible events can bring us together, and to remember what we learned, as a nation, as a community, as a people, about the world.

But I also think we should spend more time looking forward, not looking back.

We should spend more time making grand plans and executing them, inviting our souls and being creative, and living life to the fullest.

We should spend more time doing small, special things for our friends, our family, our loved ones.

We should spend more time laughing, and making music, and increasing the joy in the people around us.

We should spend more time helping each other, and holding each other, and saying “I love you” to each other.

Because at the end of the day, each other is all we ever really have.

  • 10:52:28: Why is it still morning? Why is it not yet four in the afternoon?
  • 11:58:28: Got e-mail from my mother this morning, which was a nice surprise; last I knew her computer was dead & she wasn’t planning to replace it.
  • 14:56:10: @vixy Oh, what fun it all would be!

A Month of TV Commentary: A Meme in 30 Parts: Day 12

Day 12 – An episode you’ve watched more than 5 times

There’s a lot of episodes I’ve watched more than five times. I’ve always been one to revisit books, movies, and TV series that I really enjoy.

But the single episode of a TV series I’ve likely watched more times than any other, hands down, is the episode “Inferno’ from Coupling. This is largely because kitanzi and I tend to try and hook anyone who will sit still long enough on the show, and partly because it contains one of the greatest comedy rants of all time:

In all seriousness, if you’ve never seen Coupling, you should give it a try. Smart, snappy, and funny: everything you could ever ask from a situation comedy.

  • 10:40:20: I don’t support the burning of any book, regardless of its contents, for any reason whatsoever.
  • 11:05:48: @SFEley *hugs*
  • 11:47:06: @vixy @mariancall Marian Call’s Band Of Idiots has a nice ring to it. Looks good on a poster. Run with it.
  • 12:31:28: @shermandorn Perhaps they teach the gospel of chocolate. Or possibly soap.
  • 15:13:38: @ebertchicago Indeed, my reaction was “Canada has an anti-Fox campaign? Who knew?”

  • 11:46:06: Setting aside the fact that it’s a spammer, why would I want to hire a web consultant who cannot spell “appraisal”?
  • 21:04:24: @seananmcguire Welcome home, darling! Now that Australia has been consolidated under your rule, it is time to turn our attention eastward.
  • 21:19:32: @mariancall I once spent nearly 30 minutes looking for a parking place in downtown Ann Arbor
  • 21:25:15: @aiela @mariancall Indeed it was. Zingerman’s may be the only place where I’d go through all that for a sandwich.
  • 21:34:09: I spent 5 minutes depending whether Zingerman’s was a place for whom or for which I would go through that hellish parking.
  • 21:35:24: Finally rewrote the sentence to avoid the grammatical question. It really hinges on how far you want to go anthropomorphising the restaurant

  • 07:03:56: Ugh. Good morning, headache. Why don’t you just run along. I have work to do.
  • 07:14:53: Oh good: to top it off, I left my IM client running all weekend on a computer I wasn’t near. Apologies to anyone who tried to contact me.
  • 08:46:06: @chrislhayes Pretty much. Though when I complained on Twitter that I didn’t have it yet, it showed up within 24 hours. Sympathetic magic?
  • 13:58:44: RT @vixy RT @postsecret “Dance like the photo’s not being tagged, Love like you’ve never been unfriended, Tweet like nobody’s following.” (ETA: May have been originated by Adrian Clark (@Aydsman) in 2009.)
  • 15:43:12: @mariancall Mine is like that. You still have a key. You just don’t have to actually take it out of your pocket. #livinginthefuture
  • 16:58:52: @thetart I am, though I will love it more when I finish training it. 🙂

  • 10:34:03: RT @JimGaffigan Do you think the Corinthians were like, “We got ANOTHER letter from Paul? I didn’t even finish the first one yet.”

  • 10:59:48: @Sean_M_Maher Welcome to our fair city. Hope you enjoy your trip here. (I ordered in good weather just for you guys.)
  • 13:21:38: @mc_frontalot: Message to them: “Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.”
  • 13:43:26: Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation, get on with the fascination: the real relation – the underlying theme
  • 15:08:09: @WriteRCastle I generally don’t wear white on any day which ends in -y. It seems a safe rule.
  • 15:29:06: There is no reason on earth that iTunes needs to be in the foreground to update my library. *grump*
  • 19:08:49: @mariancall I’m sitting outside. 🙂
