This post is all about shopping. No, wait, it’s all about the differences between men and women. No, wait, it’s actually about how a guy’s mind works. No, wait, it’s actually about awesome tools. No, wait, it’s really, actually all about photography. No, wait… you know what? Just keep reading.

Shopping does not equal therapy. Not for me.

During the first four months of this year, I spent most of my time studying. Hell, work and studying pretty much dominated most of my time. As everyone well knows, I wasn’t exactly blogging much, either.
Still, one can’t work and study ALL the time. Too brain-fried to even contemplate writing blog posts, I turned to television… and promptly found there to be nothing on. Or at least nothing that both captivated my interest and provided for a consistent distraction as the studying process went on.
So I turned to Netflix. Bingo!

I’ve been on another cleaning tear lately, either because it’s spring or because it simply distracts my mind from bigger thoughts. I suppose either is a valid excuse, really.
This weekend I opened up a box that’s been sitting around for a while. Hell, I’ve probably carried it through my last two moves. Inside was a random collection of stuff, most of which was so old and outdated (“have I really been hauling around that newspaper clipping for all these years?”) that it was pretty easy to throw most of it away or in recycling.
Near the bottom of the box, though, I ran into something totally unexpected. As yet, I’ve not decided what to do with these:

Yeah, I know, it’s been a week. A week since I did this post, and all of you guys left such interesting, wonderful, thought-provoking comments. Then I promptly dropped off the face of the Earth. Or the internet, at lest.
I will get back to that post. Really, since I like the discussion. Promise.
So, where did I disappear off to? So glad you asked.

So, I have this sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind that I have some major decisions coming up.
I’m not here to ask you all about that, though.
What I am curious about, and the question I’m going to throw open for discussion, is more a matter of how.

Light blogging at the moment, given that my current stress level is, uh, a tiny little bit through the frakking roof. Past few weeks, I’ve had to limit myself in the number of things my brain can take on. To quip Darth Vader: “the force compartmentalization is strong in this one…”

The Commute.
Quite possibly the two most dreaded words in the average city-dweller’s life. For most of us it’s a fact of life, something we have to face every day, whether we like it or not. Long or short, the simple act of getting from point A to point B at the same time as everyone else is mostly a tolerable, but almost never pleasant, experience.
For mine, I usually stick to the same route going driving in to work in the mornings, but I have a couple of different routes that I use to get home. One uses surface streets extensively, while the other makes use of L.A.’s ubiquitous freeways for part of the trip.
Time-wise, it’s probably a toss-up as to which one is better. Unless some outside factor is involved, such as an accident, taking either route ends up taking roughly the same number of minutes behind the wheel. My choice is usually a more matter of mood, I suppose.

Apparently the WTF Cookie Company has started producing fortune cookies. My fortune from my Chinese meal last week:
“An admirer is too shy to greet you.”
What the frack? What good does knowing THAT do me?
I mean, at least give me a clue. Tell me she’s blonde or brunette or tall or short or something.
Sheesh.

“How are you, tonight?” I asked the trainer who was manning the front desk at my gym at the end of my workout.
“I’m good! How are you?”
“Good, good. Actually,” I mused, “I’m wondering if that cute girl you were talking to was single…” I chuckled at my own audacity.
“Which one?
I had the best moment at the bar in the past few months last week…
Wait, before I say what that was, I should point out that one of the pubs I frequent with my friends (though not all that frequently lately, given our busy schedules) often plays music over the sound system, with the associated music videos on the monitors. So, a few weeks ago when…
