you know what? round up

1. i personally do not enjoy smoking pot?  (although i frequently wish i did.)  but i am of the mind that it's not dangerous or addictive or any of that stuff, and that its social problems are related to the law rather than to its physiological effects.  however, when the eyes of the world are upon you and you've signed a gazillion dollars in product endorsement contracts and you've probably at least heard that pot is illegal and you've probably heard of camera phones, you should probably keep your pot-smoking to a solo activity conducted in a windowless room.  and however again, i think that it's probably a worse problem that for entertainment we watch people beat their own bodies into the ground and then complain when they seek a bit of bodily pleasure. 

2. usually i don't think complaining about the weather is fruitful or interesting.  but i cannot even fracking walk my dog because of the cycles of melting and freezing here, which always include more and more snowfall.  the sidewalks are like mirrors, and not in the good way.  there are large sections of sidewalk that have zero friction possibilities, and i'm tired of falling all the time and my dogs legs splaying out all the time and i hate it, hate it, hate it.  like, temper tantrum hate it.

3. if you consider yourself a fan of the argentine borges, allow me to suggest that you just call him jorge borges, rather than simply by his last name, or by all three of his names.  it rhymes and is kind of funny!

4. i have no idea if the guy at the car repair place calls me "young lady" because i actually seem young or because i am old enough that it's a supposedly flattering thing to call women my age.  no idea!!!  

5. although tilda swinton is a very appealing actor with a mesmerizing countenance and oddly compelling mannerisms, one cannot tell people that they look like her, even when they really do.  i don't think?  can one?

6. i personally do not enjoy smoking pot?  (although i frequently wish i did.)  and but "harold and kumar escape from guantanamo bay" is extremely hilarious.  (i never saw the first one but i bet i'd like it.)

what exactly is "the good way" in which sidewalks might look like mirrors. As a young man, I might have understood this to be related to the possibility of seeing a grown lady's underpants. Today, I have no idea.

The first Harold and Kumar is actually funnier, you ask me. You should see it.

It's odd that I had the exact same thought about mirrored sidewalks as your other commenter. In all those points, the image that stuck out the most was the mirrored sidewalks and its underpants implications.

i love Tilda Swinton and would not mind it if you said i looked like her. but her fashion sense is a fright, to be sure.
