When OKCupid shows me a match, it displays me and the dude's romantic potential, friend potential, and enemy potential.
I approve of the romantic and friendship percentages. The enemy thing? I guess it's novel. I am always waiting for my would-be lover to stab me in the back, and I see that this bloke has a 7% chance of doing that before we even meet. Great Zeus, what will it jump to after we actually go out?! I'd better bypass this thing entirely.
Enemies aside, I've exchanged a couple of friendly emails through the system. I'm not sold on the whole thing. I prefer to meet people the traditional way, escaping from a rampaging horde of the undead or bitching about a supervisor around the water cooler.
Watched the 2010 version of Riverworld tonight. Not a bad miniseries.
My brother asked me for specific things I wanted for the holidays. I rattled off my usual list: higher self-esteem, my sanity, socialized healthcare for all.
"You always ask for sanity," he complained.
"And no one ever gives it to me!"
Got one thousand words (or so) on the space opera, and finally figured out what I need to polish up with the fantasy. Bring on Thursday!
