The problem with summer is that it not only cuts me off from any exciting or otherwise newsworthy events, but it also limits the amount of social contact I even have, thereby limiting the number of amusing or otherwise interesting stories I could use for this site.
Yesterday, my brother and I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (for the first time that I had seen it in many years). That's a really interesting film, as far as social commentary goes. It seems to me that Charlie was really no better than the other kids, with the exception of his final deed (giving back the Gobstopper). Wonka liked him the whole time though, which is why he probably showed Charlie so much respect. I mean, seriously, did Augustus Gloop do anything more harmful than Charlie? He didn't even get a chance to recieve a Gobstopper, and his drinking from the chocolate river wasn't much different from Charlie and Grandpa Joe having some of Wonka's Fizzy Lifting Drink. I think there's some fishy stuff going on around that place . . .
