Pop Culture and Daily Life

10 July, 2009

I saw a sign today advertising an upcoming neighborhood hike which said something like

Twilight nature hike

This is how I know that pop culture has an effect on me: I immediately thought does the sign refer to the time of day at which the hike will occur or does it refer to a type of hike –one which might involve vampires in the woods?


Family Time

My brother (looking at the row of small scratches on my right arm): What happened to your arm?

Me: The fountain got me while I was trying to assemble it.

My brother: Oh. I thought you got mauled by a hamster.

Ah, family.
