Syncronicity

Just thought it was funny that this book Shoplifting from American Apparel came out today. Because I live half a block from an American Apparel (don't we all, eh?), and yesterday as I got off the bus on that corner, a couple really heavily tattooed hipster boys were leaving the store, and we both turned the same way so I ended up walking behind them. I was just noticing that one of them had kind of a big butt for such a skinny guy when he stuck his hand down his pants and pulled like three T-shirts out of his ass. It took me at least half a minute to register that he had stolen them - my first thought was honestly "Huh. That guy carries around extra t-shirts in his pants. Do people do that now? To make their butts look bigger?" Logic:1, Erin's Logic:0.

Analyzing the cool vote

Ripped straight from the Election Day Facebook Status headlines...

Regular cool: vote for Obama!!! Yay Obama!!!

Middle School cool: vote for Obama, in spirit.

Mechanized Grassroots Activism cool: MoveOn says, vote for Obama! Everyone's doing it!

Political Indifference cool: vote, or don't, or whatever, just please make the campaign ads stop!

Canadian cool: vote for Obama, my McGill student friends! America sucks, but we have a conservative leader, so we kind of suck too, so maybe you could be the awesome one, *just this one time*.

Cynical/Anarchist/Post-political cool: Obama is just another politician in sheep's clothing. Don't vote. Down with the state!

Issue-based Cynical cool: They both suck on gay marriage, the issue that will decide the future of the free world. Don't vote, but pray that McCain doesn't win, or if he does, that he doesn't die.

Ironic nihilist cool: vote for McCain
