OK, I can't think of anymore, but basically it's moving faster and faster. At the turn of the millennium no one had even heard of iPods and now I own two. Almost everyone I know owns one.

What scares me more is that we are the generation that will experience "100 Years Of Popular Music" and sitcoms from the seventies suddenly being sixty years old.

I'm stuck. I don't know how the story ends, where it begins, or what happens in the middle. My plot twists feel transparent, my storylines feel shallow, I feel out of kilter and out of place among the theater people I have to work with as well as the writing people I have to work with which feels even worse. I can't stand another class of their petty and shallow criticisms of "but it doesn't work..."

Hasn't someone done a research paper on stuff like this? They should.

Language is as language does. It follows rules. Rules can easily be input into computer programs. Words and sentences and all. They mean NOTHING without context: but the human mind is PERFECT for interpreting context out of random crap.

Witness Tarot readings, for one.
