Oh, Public Transportation.

So I ride the bus now. I've never had to ride the bus before.

It's actually not that bad other than being kind of late, and one time someone spilled their coffee and it sloshed all over the floor of the bus and soaked the bottom of my back pack and was totally gross because I don't even like coffee. But that wasn't really the fault of the bus.

Taking the bus to the mall is always fun, because who doesn't love spending an hour on the bus? The bus going out to the cool mall is always full of hip Japanese teens who, on the way back, have yet more hip clothes and stuff. So that's not that exciting, other than the cute accessories and amazing hair. Now, going out to the lame mall is more exciting (not the mall part though) because on my way back there was a wacky Turrets guy and a crazy cell phone guy. Wacky Turrets guy was wearing a snappy suit and mumbling to himself the whole time except occasionally he'd scream "JESUS CHRIST!!!" and go back to mumbling. Then Crazy cell phone guy spent the time we spent waiting for the bus and the whole time he was on the bus calling everyone in his cell phone and leaving essentially the same message for everyone. "Hi (name), it's me. It's uhhhhh...11:36, gimme a call when you get this, just want to talk."

No one ever called him back.

Probably because he was on the phone non-stop leaving messages for people.

Shun the Non Believer!

I have a confession.

I...I don't believe in Kate Beckinsale.

I used to. And, maybe, Kate Beckinsale used to be real, and maybe there's even a real Kate Beckinsale now, but I'm sure they're not the same. All I can say is that I don't believe in her. She's like Santa, or the tooth fairy.

See, once upon a time there was an actress called Kate Beckinsale, but I only ever saw her in "Much Ado About Nothing" and "Cold Comfort Farm". Then, all of a sudden, there was another actress called Kate Beckinsale and I saw her in "Underworld" and "Van Helsing" and I thought to myself "That's not Kate Beckinsale."

It was as simple as that. One day she was real, then she wasn't.

Now, this isn't a comment on her acting skills or anything. I'm not trying to be judgmental here, all "oh, she used to be an actress, now look at her being all mainstream." No, that's not what I'm doing. I just...don't see any similarities between the two, and now I don't believe in Kate Beckinsale. Even looking at pictures of this alleged "Kate Beckinsale"...I don't recognize her. At all. In any pictures.

Here's the thing: I'm good with faces. I'm good with names. I'm fantastic at remembering actor's names. So why is there such disconnect with Kate Beckinsale? Why can't I recognize her, like, ever?

So I don't believe in her.

Sorry Kate Beckinsale.

Blogging for real now. Really.

So, yeah, I'm giving the whole blog thing another go. I kind of forgot about it for awhile, but I'm back, to blurt out random stuff. Like how this video almost killed me dead:
