A friend thought she was cool the other day when she told me she didn't have time to read the newspaper that I spend so much time producing. I was thinking, but didn't say, that one can't not have time for current events, because the world still happens even when you're absorbed in yourself.

Nevertheless, she didn't have time to read about the Halloween parking situation in this crazy town, and when she got to her car this morning, she had two tickets.

Well she's lucky she didn't get towed. But it proves my point: those who don't have time for current events get screwed by them.
