I love this weekend.

Now that things are straightened out a tad, I think we can finally get things done. I just have a lot being served to me on my plate between now and the weekend, including the football game, the show after the football game, the banquet after the show, the need to write more on my thesis, the need to write a different paper, keeping up on my readings, and of course, work, grad school applications, and the like.

However, I did find time to do a small session on de-stressing, with good results, but strange ones. Much like the hypnotism experiment at ACEN, while playing Morton's List, while trying to relax sufficiently, my forehead throbbed. It seemed to get worse as the relaxations went on. Either I'm really carrying more stress that I think, or there something a little strange going on when I do stuff like that around other people. As people reached the very deep relaxation stage, the throbbing went away and stayed away while they were coming back from their meditation. Makes me think there's something weird going on when I'm trying to do stuff like this around other people. Anybody got a clue?

The End to a Great Debate. People who don't see see things. Tips for Geeks on How to be Sexy. Which of the three is strangest to you?

Bed now. Basketball tomorrow. Finishing applications, too, maybe?

I went through the star destoyers site and happened upon him deconstructing a David Brin article on the morality of Star Wars vs Trek. I had to stop even browsing at that point

That's just taking things a little too far...

Several, only a fraction of which fit under the "too wacked out to be possible" barrier though.

What sort of throb? One thing that springs to mind is that you are (consciously or otherwise) using heart rate and bloodpressure in a biofeedback loop and the throb you feel is your body becoming more aware of the blood flow that is normally ignored as background noise by your senses. As you relax you become more and more aware of it as your brain tries to exert more contol over your cardiovascular system, when you reach the level of relaxation desired your brain no longer needs to monitor it as closely, so the sensation goes, and returning to normal requires equally little effort. Well, it sounds like suitably possible bunk anyway, it's among the least borderline crazy.

Well, it's a rather painful, intense throb that stays in the center of my forehead, right about, I imagine, where people have placed the "third eye", even as the rest of the body relaxes. It subsided a bit as the relaxation went on, and near the tail end, it went away, and didn't really return as we came back from the meditative state.

That help any?

My one comment is this:
If the Empire could kick the Federation's butt and the Rebellion kicked the Empire's butt, then it logically follows that the Rebellion is the strongest of all sci-fi forces.
Boo-yah.

Join the Fun :fox:

Well, of course. They've got the 900-year-old Jedi Master, and if all else fails, they can just sic the Ewoks on anyone and watch as the opponents claw their own eyes out...
