I completely forgot to mention that one of the characters in Die Another Day looks like the evil Conan O'Brien. I remember that being one of my primary reasons for writing a little thing on the movie on the first place but I guess that detail slipped away.

I was standing at the bus stop on Tuesday and, without turning my head, counted five people talking away on cell phones. Which makes me sort of annoyed with myself for owning one.

Staying on the subject of buses, I decided to stand up for the ride back on Tuesday because it only lasts for like five minutes. It's not that there weren't seats available, I just didn't feel like sitting down. So here's the question of the week: Is it lazier to sit down for a five minute bus ride, or to stand up because it's too much of an inconvenience to sit down and have to stand up again?

Moving to the subject of U2. I have been tempted to label Achtung Baby as the best U2 album, although I've been reluctant to because it doesn't contain "Where the Streets Have No Name," which I have long considered to be the single best U2 song. Today, though, after careful thought and consideration, I managed to pinpoint the best part of any U2 song to be the little part at the end of "Another Time, Another Place," when Bono sings in Gaelic. It's a fact.
