jinian | this morning

As Wim and I were brushing each other's hair this morning, we happened to discuss a stupid radio commercial. [Footnote: I have the alarm on radio, because the stupidity of the morning DJs causes me to get out of bed far more effectively than a mere beeping.] It was for some matchmaking site that I don't remember the name of but had resolved not to publicize anyway. It was mainly just stupid, but contained the immortal line, "Your soul mate could be on line right now!"

*snicker*

I have had occasion recently to think about whether I believe I have a soul mate, and the answer is a big fat NO. I don't think that other people can't, but I'm pretty sure I don't. It's a metaphysical idea, I have a metaphysical certainty about it. Works for me. But... if I did have any, of course they would be on line a lot. Probably right now, if they're in a time zone that means they're already awake.

So I said something goofy about it being a contradiction and a tautology all at the same time, and Wim said, "It's a contradiction, wrapped in a tautology, wrapped in an enchilada!"

Okay, that is my cute boyfriend quote story for the day. Please throw fresh tomatoes; the rotten ones displease the cats.
