Things Only Ace Thinks About

Sometimes my life is boring. Sometimes it's interesting. Usually it's more often the former and not so much the latter. Sometimes I can make it through my day only by pretending I have a documentary crew following me around, and that's when I'm glad that my inner-monologue cannot be heard by others. Everyone thinks like this, yes? And everyone loves Elvis, and the Brady Bunch, and Stephen King, and birthdays, right?

First Blood

I went Christmas shopping yesterday. All day. Which I enjoy, but I saw some bizarre human behavior. Why does holiday shopping make people so angry/crazy? People would get semi-threatening.

The best I thing I heard all day was when some guy was telling his wife, "I should have clocked that old lady with her Ipod." That was all I overheard, and I spent the rest of the day wondering (a) what the old lady had done to earn such anger and (b) why the old lady had an Ipod.

My friends then got to witness my full OCD while sitting in the parking garage. I happened to notice that the clock on my car stereo was two minutes faster than the clock on my cell phone. I wanted them to match up. Exactly. So I tried to fix this, while not running over my fellow shoppers or wrecking into the huge SUVs that took up two spaces. In my defense, it took us over 20 minutes to get out of the garage and this incident occupied me for three minutes.

Unrelated question, when did Aidan Quinn's career get so bad that he has had to resort to making a TV sitcom called "The Book of Daniel"?

Maybe he meant he wanted to clock her for the Ipod, because he wanted to give it to his wife. See, now he's romantic.
