Odds & Ends: Peanuts, Subway, Greetings, Tumblr

Thoughts while taking the TTC today:

• Peanuts are one of the most frustrating foods. What a mess. When I'm eating them at sporting events, I have to throw the shells a little further under my seat, rather than just dropping them straight down, so I'm not constantly stepping on them -- the feeling of those shells under my feet is really unpleasant.
• When I'm in subway stations, I always stand as far away from the tracks and as close to the walls as possible. That way no one can get "position" on me, if they wanted to push me onto the tracks. This is one of my biggest concerns in life.
• I've been thinking lately that I'd like to start greeting girls with a half-hug and peck on the cheek. This would make me feel at least 25% classier. I feel like establishing a consistent greeting would be difficult though, especially one that involved kissing people's faces. It's hard enough now, attempting to figure out whether or not to greet girls with hugs.
• I don't like Tumblr. I know it's the hot new blogging medium, but the way it's set up to accentuate link- and photo-sharing drives me crazy. Confession: I'm about 50% less inclined to consistently read a Tumblr blog than I am one on Wordpress or Typepad or Blogger.
