Thought today: Are nail biters cannibals?

Watched Sex in the City tonight, 2 decent episodes. Miranda meets Steve, Big shows up at the bar to meet the girls, Charlotte is a slut at a wedding. Underlying theme is the wonder of fate. So I was wondering...If we believe in fate, do we wait for fate to come knocking or do we go out and make our own fate, or is that in and of itself the fate then? If so, then everything we do is our fated reaction to another fate. also wondering, do we use fate as an excuse for failed occurrences in our lives???

I finished True Story by Michael Finkel tonight. Interesting story about a man who allegedly kills his family, assumes the identity of a NY Times writer (who has just been fired for falsified reporting, unbeknownst to the alleged killer) and runs off to Mexico. The story is true and written by that same NY Times writer, who befriends the killer while he is in prison awaiting trial. The book is not written like a novel but the fact that it's true made me keep reading. Not bad if you're on a long trip, I skipped some of the chapters because they just seemed redundant. Give it a glance.

Had to use a/c again, ugh. Did decent on Jeopardy! David won AGAIN! I thought for sure Richard was going to beat him tonight, but alas that bastard from Germany pulled through in the end, argh. I don't like him. Gorgeous moon tonight, actually sat on the curb and stared for a bit while waiting for Mickey to pee. The clouds around this full moon looked like a cartoonish dog's face. weird. weirder because earlier today I was thinking of a full yellow moon for about 5 minutes, this one is more white than yellow though, but I didn't know we were due for a full moon today, hmmm.
