Facebook Phenomenon

Something funny...
You put up a Status Update/What's On Your Mind? post that's somewhat obscure.
either a reference to a movie, a song, or something that people involved in your day-to-day would know.
Now on Facebook, you have all these Friends who are people you haven't seen in 20 years! or you met once at a party...
and they want to show that they are "in the know"... so they respond to your post.

I think its really funny to read through these for everyone I get updates on.
There are the people in the know, and the people who think they are in the know!

There was a particularly entertaining string coming from one of my cousins for a while.
He posted something that (I'm not In The Know) could be from Monty Python's Holy Grail, or it could be from the Facebook game Knighthood. And then his friends started responding.
Some people made comments to England, some to the Python's, some had equally entertaining responses that could or could not have been accurate.

Anyway - an interesting Facebook Phenomenon that I thought I'd comment on.

New York in 3-2-1

Took a quick trip to New York City.
My stepmom turned 50 (its a milestone year for her and me!), and my dad took her on an art tour in NY for her birthday. It ended with her having a show at the Agora Gallery in Chelsea. How cool is that?

Sometimes...

.. I feel like I am in a fuzziness, and what I consider to be my life is actually a dream or imagining.

I wish it were easier to be where I want to be.

As I get older I realize its more of putting things on a trajectory and seeing what happens rather than actually having control.

Standing on a corner....

Having walked past buildings of monumental architecture. I stand at a constitutional corner and look at a large obelisk going into the sky. On the grounds below people play softball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, while many more run by.

What an amazing place to live. I can only imagine.

Interesting media moment

David Plotz talking about H1N1 on "The Shift Happens Podcast":
...talking about public health measures to limit the spread of a disease...


"...social networks are weaker, people have fewer social ties which means that they are more willing to break a quarantine."


This is so interesting to hear in a media venue because its something that I've been thinking for a long time!

a new consciousness on reality

Nearly made a big booboo this week.
 
Spent Sunday underwater at a max depth of about 30 ft.
Well, when you do that for extended periods of time, there are all these calculations and numbers blahblahblah to consider when doing things to your body that involve pressure.
One of those is flying!
There are Rules about how long you have to wait to fly after diving so that you don't EXPLODE! actually, its get the bends, but I just keep in mind that its all about exploding 'cause that's more dramatic.
 
So, I have a trip to DC on Tues.
LUCKILY - yes, luck 'cause I didn't even realize I had to think about this - its more than 18 hours after my last dive.
If I had planned a trip for Monday, I would have had to cancel it.
 
Here is a whole new thing I have to take into consideration about staying alive!
