In other news, this little old lady came in today to get some help with her housing situation. Then when we were done, she's like "thank you dear" (in her lil ol' lady voice) and she pulled out this Casino Rama card she got in the mail. She wanted me to fill out a survey for her online (she doesn't know how to use a computer) so that she could be entered to win some grand prize.And for a split second I thought: is this woman essentially asking me to gamble for her? So for a few seconds I stared at the card she gave me, and looked at her sweet lil ol' lady face. And I said: I'm sorry, I can't do this for you because I don't want to be involved in anything related to gambling.
She was puzzled, but I directed her to someone else, and then thought to myself: THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL GUMPTION!
Ahem. I need chocolate in my system or something. Excuse me while I ingest something.

Just because you were part of some good ol' gumption doesn't make it a good word. It's still stupid. You are both an academic and an intellect, you should know better ;)
so i have a dilemma that i need ur advice. there's this movie (ahem..Star Trek) that i really want to see but i am tempted to go see the trailers.
the thing is, last time i did that with another movie i ended up ruining the movie experience b/c half way through i was able to put the pieces together.
so should i go an watch the trailer? I can't seem to resist watching it...
Yusuf, thank you for clearing that up. You're so SMRT.
Abdul, I think you know the answer to your own question...which was very random indeed.
