My roommate Rob and I went to the local T. B.
O'McFlynagin's for dinner. One of the TVs hanging from the ceiling was
tuned to the local Fox
station and what was on but American High, a type of Real World
for the high school set.
I found it amuzing at first, watching teenage angst from a decade (or so)
down the road until the show focused on
Morgan,
who seemed to be in a straight jacket while talking about things.
It was hard to tell if he was upset or not, as the volume was turned off,
but closed captions were turned on. But he seemed to be taking it all in
stride, like wearing a straight jacket is normal for kids today, especially
ones that take Ridalin, Prozac and other jagged little pills.
“My god,” I said. “I'm almost glad I'm not a kid
today.”
“Me too,” said Rob.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
