the times they are a-changin'!

ok, so when i was in middle school, i would go to early church with my parents, stay for 2nd service, walk to wendy's to eat lunch with my friends, then have youth choir practice. my mom would give me $3 for lunch. that's all i needed. wow.

10 years ago this summer, my family drove across the country. we spent a month on the road, making a big loop, hitting up our family and the major national parks all along the way. SO, the whole trip, california was the only place we paid more than a dollar a gallon for gas. true story.


ok, so i just saw the beginning of a television show with an indian character. whose parents live in india, and they talk on the webcam. so one of the scenes is him carrying his laptop around, showing his parents his friend's apartment. wow. talk about technology. and a big advancement to have a south asian character in the show at all. it's just funny and amazing to me.
