School starts again tomorrow.
Jan. 5th, 2006 01:03 amSecond semester begins tomorrow - meaning that I’ll have a whole new list of due dates to deal with. At the same time, however, this means that I’m going to get to see all the people that I’ve not seen for nearly a month now. With the exceptions of those graduating last month, if there were any.
After a long time of waiting, the full Chrono Symphonic two-disc set was released! Get the torrent and enjoy, especially if you like Chrono Trigger.
Here’s the plan for the world starting tomorrow. I assume everyone here got the memo. As we find out, evenJesus got wiretapped by NSA for his liberal views. What next, someone burning his image onto a piece of toast?
A handy hint - the next time someone tells you to sod off, build yourself a PARKing space in his lot and enjoy what happens. And maybe even lose a little sleep over it. Could be that a mere seven hours is all you need. And even better, if you’ve really got that big project due, letting a few things slip and doing a little Type-C procrastination may help you in the long run. Along with that, making sure that you have time for play and don’t take it seriously or as some useful activity, you’ll do better. So play, rather than worrying about all the other things that you normally like to add on to that. I could learn to play myself. In fact, I’ve even got a couple of game ideas - one being the Morton’s List adventure game that I could stand to play more of. The second, while not relying as much on chance as Morton’s List does, provides the same idea - Playing Real-Life Adventure Games, complete with artefacts, Heroes, and Grand Quests.
Perhaps you could also reconstitute yourself as an individually autonomous person, making your own choices and really deciding what things you want to believe in. That could be a mission, or just a decision. I’d like to say that I’m trying to do that - just that I realize there are quite like a hundred-thousand things that I haven’t challenged myself on. Trying to retrace all the way back to tabula rasa and the forward again is difficult. Even making a decision to make your own decisions from this point forward is difficult, because a lot of them will slide right by you without you noticing. I can only hope that I make enough of my own decisions to believe that my life is, indeed, individually autonomous.
Taking a page out of the strange sort of ingeniousness that the internet can produce, this might be a useful way of watching the watchers if you think that your mail is being snooped or watched by someone that you don’t already know or give permission to.
A handy thing, proving right the storytellers and writers - most specifically, that Love really does conquer fear. Or at least, some hormones associated with bonding and such can overcome or diminish the fear reaction. Perfect for testing out the new rocket-powered bike, right?
A very informative article on Technosexuality, a coined term for A.S.F.R. (alt.sex.fetish.robots) an idea that involves robots (there are Doll fetishists, Pygmalionists, and people who are turned on by safe sorts of mind control and hypnosis. (Of course, there’s stories and literature on unsafe versions, but the stories are as far as one should go about such a thing. And possibly therapy, if the unsafe version appeals that strongly.) It’s a well-written set. Proves that people can think of erotic things about anything, and do. Also, that things like this are far older than you think. Perhaps if people were a little more informed and accepting of non-Puritanical sexual ideas (of which there are probably more than even I think, just that they keep it behind closed doors), we could be done with some of these nonsenses that plague our society.
Perhaps in an odd way, but following that, there’s a nice two-set of What it feels to be like an Atheist and Why I am an Atheist by one of the avowed members of the Evil Atheist Conspiracy. (I knew they existed! This means that all the other ones do, too, like The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, the Liberal Media, and the Gay Agenda!)
Guess I need to Get a move on. See you all in class tomorrow.
As an aside - I find out that my IM client on Linux renders other scripts natively. So I’m receiving a right-to-left IM while typing and sending a left-to-right. The username is the only thing in the different script, but the whole thing is right-justified... very interesting. It doesn’t show up in my taskbar preview, but it’s there nonetheless. More interesting things indeed.
