Yea… as do I!

So, we are all moved into the new apartment and finaly have the internet hooked up. If you are ever dealing with cable one, just call after regular buisness hours… the national call center guys actualy know how to get stuff done.

About Michaels challenge… I have a excert from good ol’ Chuck Closterman!

“Apples and oranges aren’t that different, really. I mean, they’re both fruit. Their weight is extreamly similar. They both contain acidic elements. They’re both roughly sperical. They serve the same social purpose. With the possible exception of a tangerine, I can’t think of anything more similar to an orange than an apple. If I was having lunch with a man who was eating an apple and–while I was looking away–he replaced that apple with an orange, I doubt I’d even notice. So how is this a metaphor for difference? I could understand if you said, ‘That’s like comparing apples and uranium,’ or ‘That’s like comparing apples with baby wolverines,’ or ‘That’s like comparing apples with the early work of Raymond Carver,’ or ‘That’s like comparing apples with hermaphroditic ground sloths.’ Those would all be valid examples of profound disparity. But not apples and oranges. In every meaningful way, they’re virtualy identical.”

So, Michael… you are comparing apples with hermaphroditic ground sloths. You are comparing our ideal personal behavior to the behavior of a drunk. How are these remotely similar? Of course some people will react to this scenario (you did), what we are saying is that people shouldn’t react to this situation (at least not with threats that could escalate the situation!) Oh, and claiming everyone thought you were right because of their silence? Maybe the silence was in shock at your falasy rideled argument, maybe the shock was that someone who is going to make life altering decisions as a DOCTOR could actual warp the situation so far out of context. Well… maybe it should be baby wolverines, I’m not really sure?

LOL, too funny. So how is the new apartment? Lets see some pics. We really need to have pics on here more often, make it like a picture blog. That way, in michael’s example, if he had a picture of the guys slobbering with mouths agape; we might be able to understand. So, how bout this, i think I’ll carry my camera with me this week and start doing picture blogs of the things i’m talking about, should be funny.

That sounds fun. Think I’ll do the same.

The appartment is good. It’s a little bigger than the last place, but has less storage in the kitchen and bathroom
