Randomly Feverish Notes

There are a lot of shows on TV about dogs.

There are also a lot of superlatives on TV- greatest, extreme, amazing, top, outrageous, super; you could spend a long time watching nothing but the best and worst of virtually everything. And why would we be interested in anything else? Normal is boring is the assumption, I guess. I think normal is what you make it and it really isn't that hard to make almost anything interesting if you try. I'm concerned that people can be too dependent on outside stimulation. This is a really bad thing because ultimately you're stuck with yourself, and if you don't know how to enjoy life without somebody or something else's help, you probably not going to be very happy.

When I was at the hospital today getting my bodily fluids tested, I saw in the parking garage, one of the most beautiful commercially produced things I've ever seen. It's a Victory Vision Tour motorcycle. I don't really care about motorcycles one way of the other (though I once had a great afternoon in college riding on the back of one (as opposed to driving it) squirting my fraternity mates with a fire extinguisher), but this thing was breathtaking. I spent 5 minutes walking around it and seeing it from all angles.

Oh, so let's add walking to your car in the parking lot as something that doesn't have to be boring.
