[I wonder what it would look like if I had remote control that could channel surf through different topics in one entry. I bet it would read something like this...]

This morning, as I rode the train to work, rain clouds obscured the hills to the east where a quarry had set up shop not so long ago. It's an ugly sight. A deep brown shelf cut into the green hillside. As a security measure, the company erected perimeter lights, two amber lamps mounted on each post. They're hardly noticeable on most days, but today, shrouded by dark gray clouds, the lamps glowed eerily like the eyes of bats hanging from the ceiling of a cave.

[Hills, bats, clouds, blah blah blah. Change.]

I suppose one could compare going through life to drifting on the ocean. Of course, I suppose one could also compare going through life to licking a llama's left ear, but likely with more difficulty and a funny taste on the tongue. I was actually going to make the life-ocean comparison, but now I can't concentrate. There's an image of a llama in my head that won't go away.

[Uh, I'd rather not find out where that's going. Change!]

[Photo Channel? Seagull Channel? Keep going.]

Did you notice ABC's commercials for Grey's Anatomy feature "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service? It would be quite cool if they used it as the show's theme song, but they'll probably go with something standard by W.G. Snuffy Walden. It reminds me of when UPN first promoted Enterprise with The Calling's "Wherever You Will Go" and then went with a Diane Warren song as the theme. I felt a little robbed.

[Music and television. Not a bad mix. Let's see what else is on.]

i wuz liKe. omg! i <3 coffE!

[Okay, I love coffee, but that's not my journal. Go back!]

I'm tempted to watch the new medical drama just because Sandra Oh is one of the stars (along with Patrick Dempsey from Once and Again). I know she was on HBO's Arli$$, but since I'm allergic to cable television, I never watched it. The first time I saw her was in Long Life, Happiness and Prosperity at an Asian film festival two years ago. After that, I remember seeing her in Under the Tuscan Sun and Sideways. I've begun losing interest in Desperate Housewives, so perhaps this show will keep me tuned to the tube on Sundays.

[Okay, that's enough. It's a good thing this journal doesn’t come with a remote. Too much topic surfing makes me dizzy.]
