don't even know how to title/tag this

Also, I just wrote the date down in my research logbook-thing as 17/10/05, instead of 17/05/10. Brainfart, or some sort of wishful thinking that it was 5 years ago?

I've put the 10 in the middle of the date several times on stuff at work, and when I wondered out loud why that was, someone else said they had been doing the same thing this month. Not sure if there's something special about 05/10 which makes people do that, but it's not just you...

Weird! Maybe we're all too old to think it can possibly be anything other than 2005?

HOW CAN IT BE 2010 WHEN I STILL DON'T HAVE MY FLYING CAR?

DAMN IT! WHERE'S MY POCKET-SIZED PERSONAL COMMUNICATOR?

Oh. In my pocket. Right.

AND WHERE'S MY GLOBAL LOCATION DEVICE THAT LISTENS TO SPACESHIPS?

Oh. In my pocket as well. In fact, it's also my phone.

AND WHERE'S MY HAND-HELD TERMINAL THAT ALLOWS ME TO CONSULT A WORLDWIDE LIBRARY?

Right. Same as before, in my pocket. And it's my phone.

AND WHERE'S MY PORTABLE MUSIC PLAYER THAT LETS ME CARRY AROUND MY ENTIRE MUSIC COLLECTION?

Pocket. Phone.

AND WHERE'S MY POCKET TELEVISION?

Same as before.

I HEART THE FUTURE.
