Overheard in the apartment

"It's difficult being cool." Even more so when it costs money to be 'cool'. It's also vaguely interesting to reflect on how the meaning of the word has changed markedly since the early days of elementary school, when being 'cool' was largely an intangible attribute aside from all the kids wanting to be friends with that person. Nowadays, even the dorks and the nerds have a shot at being the man.
