to nobody in particular:
"When I complained about church, I complained about the usual things a kid complains about: the claustrophobia, the boredom. But Owen complained religiously. 'A PERSON'S FAITH GOES AT ITS OWN PACE,' Owen Meany said. 'THE TROUBLE WITH CHURCH IS THE SERVICE. A SERVICE IS CONDUCTED FOR A MASS AUDIENCE. JUST WHEN I START TO LIKE THE HYMN, EVERYONE PLOPS DOWN TO PRAY. JUST WHEN I START TO HEAR THE PRAYER, EVERYONE POPS UP TO SING. AND WHAT DOES THE STUPID SERMON HAVE TO DO WITH GOD? WHO KNOWS WHAT GOD THINKS OF CURRENT EVENTS? WHO CARES?'"
John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

..."you learn something new every day"...
...two days ago, i learned: if you go up to the top of the Reichstag with a stroller, they hold your lock for ransom (not really, but that's what it seemed like)...
...yesterday, i learned: just walk...
...today, i learned: "ein Mal ist kein Mal"...
