Today’s Ramblings on….. High School Relationships

November 19, 2010 at 4:41 pm (relationships) (, , )

I have a young teenage cousin who just recently got her first boyfriend, and somehow it took that event to help me realize and articulate something that I’d been noticing in life and on Facebook, as we are all more and more in contact with people we knew from middle and high school.

John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe

November 15, 2010 at 11:31 pm (movies) (, )

Listen, I’ve loved you for pretty much my whole life, Cusack, but it’s gotta be weird to look like a roughneck version of Robert Downey Jr’s Sherlock Holmes when you haven’t spent a good portion of your adulthood as a drug addict.

Try smiling.  Are you upset about your shoes?
