Living in the past

There's this guy at my church, around my age, who seems to be stuck at age 16. Every topic of conversation inevitably heads toward his high school youth group and the awesome things they used to do. Everything is compared against the standard set up over a decade ago. I just feel like saying, "Hey, listen buddy. That was over ten years ago. It's time to grow up. Move on. Life can't be spent as a 16-year-old in youth group." There. I said it (sorta). That's been bothering me for months. #psychology

Fully charged

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much better electronic devices work when they're fully charged. This is especially true with devices that send radio signals, such as Bluetooth earpieces and FM transmitters. Last week, my Bluetooth thingy was all static-y and crappy. After I charged it, it worked like it was powered by a nuclear reactor designed by God himself (which I would suspect would be quite powerful indeed). Electronic devices should really tell you these kinds of things. There'd be more faith in technology if people understood how much radio transmission signal quality is related to power. #technology

Restroom or bathroom (2)

I've been noticing lately that more people use the term "restroom" than "bathroom". I'm a bathroom person. I go to the bathroom, not the restroom. Why would I go to the restroom? To rest? That doesn't even make sense. At least "bath" has some relation to what actually goes on in there. Realistically, it should be called any of several names that are exact descriptors of the goings-on therein, such as [trying to keep it clean] pottyhouse, toiletshack, or sinkroom. #language
