Random stuff:
-- Jack Black was in an episode of The Golden Palace, a spin off of The Golden Girls. He played some kind of messenger; with that same insane look in his eyes, but pretending to be a normal person for the role. Very, very weird.
-- Poland Spring has a new very pretentious bottle shape. I didn't get a chance to pick up one of the bottles to tell if it's plastic or glass, but if it's glass, it may really give some naturally pretentious water companies a run. (I am a sad person sometimes... but it interested me!)
-- The apartment building where I used to live has a courtyard. I lived in one of the apartments inside there. There's a huge tree near the center of the courtyard that I have many, many fond memories of.
It's where I discovered I was afraid of heights, after James taught me to climb it. Where James and I used to play numerous embarrassing games that I will never divulge in a public forum. Where my mother read me some horribly written book intended to explain to me where babies came from that I had to pretend not to understand. Where I used to lay and watch the clouds and/or the stars. Where I remember sitting with James and Jonathan (or later, Max, Chris, David, and Melissa - tennants that moved in after James and Jonathan had moved but before I did) during the summer until "really late" (being 9:00), 'cause we thought it was cool how late the sun went down.
Picnics. Reading. Tripping over the dangerous roots growing everywhere. Arguing with Chris. Picking off the left behind shells of shedded cicada skins and leaves/sticks to build houses for said skins (I know; I still get skin crawly now thinking about it, but it seemed like a good idea at the time). Etc. I loved that tree. Out of everything I left when I moved away from there, the tree is one of the things that I miss the most, and always felt kinda warm and fuzzy whenever I passed the building and saw it.
Now, there's a big pile of dirt where my tree used to be. They just took it out, must have been within the last week because it was there when I passed a week ago, and today it was gone. I actually cried over that stupid tree, and I would like to violently torture whoever ordered the tree be removed. I hope it fell on whoever cut it down.
Bastards.
The end.
