Johnny Has Plugged In
this blog is kind of like CC's, because i don't know how i happened upon it. and it reminds me of Liz's blog, because it is well written and thought-provoking. also because it's not archived strictly chronologically - if it is even at all... and he's an insomniac.

memes. what are memes? johnny is working it out. i mean ALL of it. and i have been glued to his blog for a couple hours or so as he does. an american in new zealand - i think there have been some big, negative events in the past couple, few years. anyhow. good reading. brain food.

then i stalled to watch Brown Sugar, a hip hop version of Love and Basketball, both movies involving Sanaa Lathan as the girl who gets boy, loses boy, gets boy back. i know i'm way tired because the cliche-ridden final scene made me cry. or maybe i cried because deep down inside, i really know that Taye Diggs will never be mine. or maybe i wasn't crying after all, just drooling uphill. mm. that man is about as good looking as a man gets.

what did we do all night long before there was an internet? how did parents cope when their children were killed, without a grief board or two or three, and MADD? i am so virtual. and thankfully so, assuming all other facts of life unchanged.
