Obsevation 5/24
Snohomish, Washington may exist in the real world, but it sounds like a place that should be inhabited by Dr. Seuss creations.

Observation 5/10
One of the downsides of our hyper-gadgetized society is that we are often largely immune to imaginary "technology of the future" designed for our amusement and awe in film and popular culture.
We are so accustomed to having almost anything that can be imagined; Bond and his watch phone simply are no longer impressive when we can buy one for ourselves online for $100.
Still, if there is one franchise that continues to be awe-inspiring in its ingenuity in fake technology it must be the Iron Man series. Tony Stark's entire basement workshop is an array of easily-manipulated holograms that allow him to work out problems and throw files away into a holographic basketball hoop. If he does a Google search (something the tech-savvy audience is all-too familiar with), JARVIS instantly consolidates all the pertinent information and presents it to Tony Stark, complete with snarky commentary.
That is a future truly to be excited about.

Observation 5/7
Home is where the heart is.
But if you can't be where it feels like home, being in a place that has a queen size bed and a friendly beagle is okay, at least for a little while.

Observation 5/5
Owning a Mac is like being left-handed.
The world isn't quite suited for your kind, but everyone is willing to accept it. You tend to be more creative than your majority counterparts. And if you find another person like you, you feel like you have an instant bond, since you know what it's like to be just a little different.

Observation 5/2
There is absolutely no reason that the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 is an amazing piece. It's the same notes over and over again.
Proof that simply getting louder and louder really does make everything better.
