Casual Harangues

College!

Well, this is my first post from my dorm in Tallahassee's wonderful Florida State Universtiy! Things are great up here and it's only the first day. If you are lucky, my audience, I will share any stories that may come by. -Axiom

You've got droids

I still don't feel very serious about this blogging thing yet after my brief absence.  There was a chance I would write something on  Mel Gibson, but Pastordave already said everything I could have and better anyways, so head over to his blog to check it out.

To continue my inane comments on life (I'll look up "inane" later; why do words pop into my head that I don't really know?), today we discuss AOL.  Now, AOL is no longer the forefront internet provider out there; in fact, today they announced most of their services are going to be free.  But AOL still has a certain charm for some people, specifically with the voice that greets you and informs you of your mail.  Ah, that warm and inviting voice, a beacon of hope in a lost world. ( <-- hyperbole) Yesterday I killed that voice.   I left it with a click on my wireless mouse for a better man.  And that man beeps and whistles in a way that only R2-D2 can.

Yes, AOL has a new feature where you can change "Welcome", "You've got mail", and "goodbye" exclamations into equivalents with celebrity voices. So, uh, ponder that...because suddenly I have other things to do....

Well, an update?

Okay then.

Boy, I bet you people are really starved for an update, eh?  How long has it been?  Not that I'm going to look.  It's only been like a few weeks.  Still, can't go without the nuggets of wisdom I dispense here at Casual Harangues, can we?  Sure, it's nice to know all about how much Axiom likes seeing girls kiss each other in second-rate movies, but what we really want to know is how a new shower head may have given me a better outlook on life.  So let's go straight to that, shall we?

Isn't it weird how something small can have a big , or even any impact on your life?  Like the shower head--was my previous shower head inadequate?  Not really.  But this one has higher water pressure, and that makes me happy.  In turn this transfers to the rest of the day: I'm less frustrated at things that don't go my way, I'm more eager to get to work, etc.

In a way it's like the Sims.  You buy a better shower for your people and in turn they become happier.  Am I really that simple?  I guess so...well whatever.
