Friday Afternoon Confessional: David Lynch Day
Today is David Lynch's birthday. I confess that I know that thanks to my Simpsons calendar, which is crammed with the birthdays of celebrities and historical figures and with unfamiliar holidays, such as the Ati-Atihan Festival taking place today in the Philippines.I confess that I worry when I cash a check at my bank and they actually take that amount of money out of my account until the check clears. In this case, I have no doubt the check will clear, but I still worry.
I confess that I thought I'd change up the image a little bit through a Google image search for "confessional," not realizing that all the pictures would be of actual confessionals. I confess that I was a little bothered by the fact that a Google search for friday afternoon confessional (not in quotes) didn't turn up a link to The Weblog, although the whole first page of results was made up of people with "more popular" blogs talking about our most venerable and august Friday traditions. (If you put it in quotes, The Weblog comes up as the first result.)
I confess that I am really easily irritated when I'm alone, but it is never nearly as bad when people are around. Is it that I'm suffering from background loneliness and am more susceptible to the vissicitudes of fate, or do I lack all ability to maintain my composure without the knowledge that someone could be watching me?
I confess that sometimes I get sick of listening to music all the time, but I still have music going nearly all the time when I'm home. I've never had any desire to listen to music on the train or at the data sweatshop, though.
I confess that I need a haircut.
[I confess that I was pretty pleased to see that Jared had fulfilled my request for a graph of the relationship between personal virtue and home size. He's been on a real roll this week, by the way, for those of you still living under the pre-RSS regime of blog-viewing.]
