what's cool

In my Interactive Journalism class, we watched a documentary on PBS about "cool".  You can't really define cool.  An industry like Sprite can't make themselves cool or put out a product that is meant to be cool.  You can't really predict what will become popular whether you're part of the culture or are 40, work for a big company and don't know anything about teenagers at all.  Even if you find out what is cool you can't explain how it got to be cool or understand why it is.  You should probably give up.

my weekend

This weekend was very boring.  I did almost nothing.  I mostly slept and listened to music at my house.  I went out friday night but it rained and it was terrible.  I spent a lot of the time standing under a tree and watching my friends break an umbrella.  I also did my summer reading for history.  It's a little late but at least I'll get some credit.
