So I was playing Zoo tycoon when this realization hit me: " If I wanted to get a pet to match my hair, I could get an Irish Setter, a Finnish Spitz or an orangutan. One of the dogs would probably be easier to get and less messy, though."
I haven’t had any random thoughts today (I’ve only been awake for about a half an hour) but I know I’ll have some on my way to work.
Someone lost a shoe on the entrance ramp to the highway, and I pass it every day. I always wonder about the chain of events that caused that shoe to wind up on the side of the road. It’s a women’s strappy silver platform shoe, and I have to wonder…did she chuck it out the window? Was she a passenger? Was she the driver?
How do you loose one shoe?
If I saw something that was obviously not supposed to exist (demons, monsters, aliens, smurfs, talking dogs, etc.) and I killed it, would I get in trouble?
What if it was coming at me, could I kill it then?
Wasting time while studying, I idly picked up one of my books about Druidic traditions and thumbed through it. Random thought #1: How could anyone memorize all this? Especicially without the benefit of books or notecards. It’s all too much.
Pondering further, I realized that it wasn’t that much at all. If I can store endless pop-culture trivia and plot details of TV series, the invasions of Ireland really shouldn’t be that much of a problem.
Random thought #2: Humans have been the same for thousands of years. There must have been people with the inclination to become obsessive film/book/TV/whatever geeks centuries before any of these things existed. What did they do back then? Endlessly ask storytellers to repeat their favorites and pick through the plot points? Gossip constantly?
