And, back!
Yeah. That Spring Break thing was cool. And so was the Women's Basketball Band trip. So I'm finally sitting at my computer for the first time in a week. And most of that week has been spent without net access. Catching up on one's digital life takes some time, I've found. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the unplugged time - I had a lot of fun doing lots of things, even if a lot of it was sitting in front of a PS2 and playing vid games. I did beat the second .hack game and started in on the third one. Which is fine with me. It's been a restful break so far, and I still caught up on some reading while I've been at it. Actually, in one of my books (The Matrix and Philosophy), there was an excellent essay about why fiction causes emotional response even though we know it's fiction. Helped me understand why I tend to fill in stories - it's my imagination at work. It's also why undeveloped characters might have a soft spot for me - I want to fill in their details. Either way, things made more sense...
Congratulations Steve Fossett - around the world in considerably less than 80 days. Along with the SpaceShipOne part, Scaled Composites is doing pretty well.
Of course, not being here for seven days means that I've missed out on a riotous amount of stuff. Just beware of what is to follow.
Especially since, well... they're baaa-aack. Third time's the charm? We'll see. Any shrine devoted to Chaos is inherently unstable.
I did help move my older sister into a new apartment complex. Since she has no 'Net access, one of her friends suggested that she borrow someone else's, if they're willing. I just hope that it doesn't drag C'thulhu from the depths. Or if it does, that it uses something like this game, so there's a chance we'll miss. Or, perhaps, that we have our cloaking fields turned on.
R.A. Wilson reminds us that kids say the darnedest things. At the same time, some people just want silence to be available to everyone.
Apparently, I might add, anarchy seems to be the way to be these days. Lots of people are becoming anarchists these days. It's not necessarily a bad thing, just different. Perhaps we should try communism instead? Just to be on the safe side?
It might be better to do something like that, instead of dealing with plans to make faith organizations taxpayer-funded. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a particular faith that he has in mind... and besides, he has more important things to worry about. Like kids being jailed for zombie stories.
Which Animaniacs Character are You?
You have megalomaniacal impulses regularly. That's not necessarily a bad thing, however, as you have the cranial capacity of a small planet. Trying to take over the world is hard work, though, and you're not above exploiting your lessers. Even now, you have a plan that's being enacted which will pitch the world's economy into turmoil, leaving the floodgates of trade exposed for the sole owner of stock in the Pets.com © company! You are en route to taking over the world!
Ah, that's nice. Now I need to go find some Minions.
And one more for the road - why bright people get flamed. Well, sort of. It's more why bright people shouldn't be ashamed of being bright - even when they're on the receiving end of the taunts of their peers. I got a roasting of my own when I gave some advice - the problems of text made it possible for me to be interpreted as being more arrogant than I was trying, and someone took that, as well as my past writing styles, and basically slammed me for being an arrogant intellectual. Well, I hope I don't sound arrogant - at the same time, I don't like apologizing for someone else's misinterpretations. I find most insults childish, even the ones I give (although I'm proud of those ones, usually), and I find it strange, I suppose, that someone should have that much furor over material that I offered freely and said could be ignored at a whim. (It was not the persons whom I directed the advice to who responded, but others) Can someone help explain why this happened, because I'm baffled?
Oh, well. Things get better in the morning. We'll see if I manage to follow that curve.

Oh, and you ARE pondering what I'm pondering.
