Things I've learned so far this week...
1. Near constant driving, interspersed with occasional unsolicited information distribution, takes a lot more out of a person than I'd originally expected. Not to mention the energy expended in merely typing that sentence out.
2. It seems to me that Gwen Cooper will kiss almost anything that moves. So far the tally includes one alien-possesed girl, one momentarily corporeal dead guy/ghost/Eugene, and at least 2 members of the team (I'm sad to say that I missed the escalation of the Gwen/Owen thing, as I am strangely quite intrigued by that concept. All the more reason to buy the DVD set when it's released I suppose). Oddly, one of the few people she hasn't been kissing is her significant other. Poor guy...dating a kiss slut and not even reaping the benefits.
Also, if you know what I'm talking about, we should talk. Soon. I need to share the love.
3. Contrary to popular belief, honesty is not the best policy. In fact, complete honesty will more often than not lead to awkward silences due to conversation-stopping remarks, as well as those fun moments where the only appropriate action seems to be staring intently at one's shoes.
Therefore I propose a new policy (at least as far as my interactions with others are concerned): By no means tell the truth, particularly if it is not directly asked of you. This is not to say that one should lie. It does mean, however, that one should just clam the hell up and let those around dig themselves in, no matter the conflicting opinions involved.
Sure this may mean that one's opinion will fester inside one's head like...something that festers (it's late and I'm exhausted, what do you want from me).
But that's got to be better than extensive footware exploration, right?
