Not going to lower myself, boo.
Not going to be or bring negativity like that.

Oh fine be that way. But it's a whole lot of fun especially if you put a smile on your face while you're doing it

TIL that the system doesn't bend, it doesn't even flex slightly, even for those in real need.

TIL that my insecurities and fear led me to believing something that probably wasn’t true.

TIL that no matter how depressing her health conditions are, and results of tests are, my mind keeps me comfortably numb. I think I've lost it, totally. It kinda scares me.

TIL that an ex of mine from about twenty years ago died in a car accident nearly seven years ago. The mutual friend who told me about this heard from me how nice of a guy he was. I kept to myself the thoughts about how surprisingly well hung he was.

And thanks to MissSNG, TIL what it is called. Although let's be serious. I was already well aware of this. I just didn't know there was a name for it. Now I can sound smart! Thanks MissSNG!

I enjoy the environment in a movie theater, so I prefer to see newer movies there instead of waiting for them to stream. But a few times the viewing at my local theater was not all that great. Why?
(From NY magazine)
"The good news for Imax was that while it was muddying the meaning of its own name, the rest of the movie-theater business was self-imploding. If you’ve been to a multiplex lately and suspected the movie looked dim, blurry, or crooked, you weren’t imagining it. At ordinary theaters across the country, the basic craft of putting a bright, sharp picture on a screen has collapsed. Around 2009, the major theater chains — AMC, Regal, and Cinemark — swapped the 35-mm. film projectors in their standard auditoriums for digital ones in large part so they could cash in on 3-D showings of the original Avatar. Studios saved on mailing film prints, and theater owners got to fire their projectionists, skilled engineers who monitored the screen and fixed anything that broke. Projection problems now usually fall to the same overworked theater employee selling popcorn, and a real malfunction can wait weeks for an outside technician or longer if nobody complains. Meanwhile, Avatar-era digital projectors, many made by Sony, which has since abandoned the cinema-projector business, are dying of old age, losing color and brightness as they decay. (AMC and Regal are replacing their projectors with new laser-powered ones, but AMC’s upgrade covers only about half its screens, Regal’s has just started, and lasers don’t solve the neglect problem.)"
