I'm about to make a very contrived metaphor.
Minesweeper is like life.
NO WAIT REALLY.
There’s a certain degree of luck involved, based on the square you start off in. But you also accumulate skill, being able to judge where you should go from seeing obstacles and problems in your path. The moves you have made before give you hints on where to go next and help build your future. Sometimes you go somewhere stupid. And you fail. A lot....

Lessons from Disney
Helen: Have you seen Oliver & Company?
Me: I vaguely remember it.
Helen: I watched it two nights ago, it's great. Disney does NYC.
Me: Pshh. That was Enchanted. And what did we learn? That it's a horrible, scary place.
Helen: On the contrary, we learned that dogs can run on cars and homeless people are endearing.
Me: Disney lying to children again. Dogs who do that are stupid and will die and homeless people are dirty. LESSONS FOR LIFE KIDS.
Helen: Your kids are gong to grow up thinking Santa Claus is a robber and the tooth fairy is a thief with a tooth fetish.

Got lost in the CVS shampoo aisle yesterday.
I don’t like choices. I don’t want ‘Extreme Moisture’ and ‘Beautiful Blonde’ and ‘Gentle Daily’ and ‘Root Activator’. I would be perfectly happy if there was just a dispensor in the shower that had shampoo from one pump and conditioner from another. No brands, no special features. Two-in-one makes my hair look like Don King’s, but...

So I went on Netflix,
and Netflix was all “Yo, gurl, we got a dope-ass movie for you. It’s off the chaiiiin!” And I was a little skeptical, like “Really Netflix? You sure?” But it was like “Don’t even fret, this is gonna be five stars for you, for real.” So I said “Okay Netflix, I’m trusting you.” AND TRUE THAT, THE YOUNG VICTORIA WAS SO SICK.
