A work friend and I run a 5k twice a week at lunch. There is something therapeutic that happens when you jog with a friend at a casual pace. You can’t look each other in the eye so you say a lot of things that you’d normally be uncomfortable talking about.

Or when you walk over the threshold of an elevator door and there is that little gap. Same with keys.

Except he’s not.

I’m reading this now for the first time. All of the conversations between Palpatine and Anakin leading up to the fall add so much flavour to his fall. Worth a read for sure.

Hello me.

I used to love singing One Armed Scissor on Rock Band but I’ve never had the guts to try ATDI or Mars Volta in public.

Unpopular opinions are one of my specialties.

Western Canada. I was thinking maybe it’s like a soda vs pop thing. Or just wildly isolated to my own experience. Just showerthinking.

That might be true, or something local. I posted that this morning then got too busy to check in. I probably should have made it less about “positive/negative” and more about “it’s cool vs not cool” Here is my way too late OP explanation:

I go to a lot of sports events, hockey mostly. Since the 90s my friends and I play a little game. Count the people who give a #1 finger on the jumbotron vs point at their jersey vs thumbs up. Collectively, we have decided that ”kids today” don’t use thumbs up as much as in the past. I also noticed “Let’s go!” Is the cheer these days.

Sorry for oversimplifying my shower thought.
