• There should totally be a Chrono Trigger/Lilith's Brood crossover where Lavos is (spoilers for CT) an Oankali ship.



• There should totally be a Chrono Trigger/Hundred Thousand Kingdoms crossover where Zeal is Sky and Magus is (spoilers for both) amnesiac incarnate Itempas.
  
  Well, actually, no. There should not.



• If the new cupcake shop right next to the station at Friendship Heights manages to go out of business, I don't think I'm going to feel very bad for the proprietors. It is a cupcake shop right next to the station at Friendship Heights. It has no excuse.
  
  I bring this up only because I've noticed that, 1) there never seems to be anyone in there, 2) their selection seems to be pretty small and the cupcakes are all nearly identical, unless I just came at a bad time, and 3) it's really hard to see exactly what they're selling from outside, because they're poorly lit, the counter's way back against the back wall and partly blocked by a partition, and they have no window display.
  
  (A place selling sweets with no window display? Japan deports people for that.)
  
  I've also got a list of criticisms regarding the design of a sandwich place near Farragut North. I worry that my habit of thinking about these things is the mark of a degenerate character.



• Which should be more alarming: seeing a copy of a book by Newt Gingrich prominently displayed in a law school library, or seeing it prominently displayed in a med school library?
  
  It seems like the former should be worse, since lawyers are in a better position to put the book's presumed ideas into practice - but in fact, when I ran into the latter yesterday, I think I found it much more disturbing. For some reason my worldview is shaken by the idea of a doctor who doesn't want people Mirandized.

LOL, I think about those things too. And I make comments like "Well, I knew they were going to go out of business. It was those default typefaces on their signs. Jeez." Yeah, it's a kind of defect. I'm sure actually planning and running a business would be harder than it looks...but people DO seem to make some really obvious mistakes. :/
