OH GAHH ANOTHER COMMERCIAL?

So eventually, I'll get to finishing that story. Maybe in that lull between finals, that eye of the storm. But for now, what better way to procrastinate on an essay than to blog? Thaaat's right, blogging always makes things better. It's like work, but not really!

So I guess today I'll present a thought:

Have you ever had deja vu? When you did, did you ever describe it to the person you're with? Deja vu makes you the biggest fool ever. Why, you ask? Let's present a scenario:

You and a friend are walking through the grocery store aisle. Your friend grabs a box of cereal, shakes it, then puts it back on the shelf. Both of you continue walking. "Woah, I just had deja vu," you say. "Really?" your friend says. "Yeah," you say. "We were both walking through the aisle of this grocery store, and then you took a box of cereal, shook it, then put it back."

FOOL! YOU JUST DESCRIBED THE LAST FEW SECONDS. Without the context of deja vu, it just sounded like you were giving a recap of the immediate past. This is high-larious and surreal. Deja vu is a cruel mistress that makes you sound like a crazy liar.

Well, that was bouncing around in my head for a while. Back to work!
