Still Not the Future
Oct. 11th, 2005 03:55 amThe true sign of the future isn't the flying car. Nor is it something so mundane as the actual date. No, if there's one thing popular culture has been promising us about the future, it's this. Jumpsuits.
In retrospect, I don't know why. Especially the pocketless spandex jumpsuits. They're not practical, much less fashionable Lots of people don't want to (or shouldn't) wear jumpsuits. And, more importantly, they don't have pockets. What's up with that? No way they'd go away. Pockets are just too damn useful.
Unless everybody got Green Lantern rings. Then I guess we could do without pockets.

One novel, or manymanylots of LJ posts.
Oct. 11th, 2005 03:14 pmThey say everyone has a novel in them. This is largely true. An average life could fill many novels, but most of it's boring unless you're involved. Even the dirty parts. With six billion people, even the most unique things have been done before. Edited down, about a novel's worth of stuff.
That's not all. Everybody has a story going on in their head all the time, usually not related to their life. Most of the time, it's about them as a superspy ninja wizard pirate with a harem of questionably lesbian fangirls. Or the culturally and sexually appropriate equivalent.
