What an interesting day.
Feb. 1st, 2006 01:37 amToday was productive of sorts - I did do one assignment, and I'll tackle the other tomorrow. Actually, the one I did, I might want to run by someone who can make sure my language says what it's supposed to and doesn't say something that I can't do. Any volunteers? It's quasi-legalese, I think. The whole thing even involved some digital ink and paint, and so I've now got a self-designed logo that's an imitation of someone else - but that game's been out of print for a while... there are very few people who would even know about it.
I used the Epitaph of Twilight in a political context today - and it made sense to me. Which either says something about my brain or something about the world - at least one of them has to be really screwed up. Doesn't help that I learned Coretta Scott King died and Alito was confirmed in basically the same sentence. Also, attended a panel tonight about the question of whether religious beliefs should be considered by people who are running and voting for public office - not in the legal sense, which strictly forbids any manner of testing or other restrictions on public office because of beliefs held or not held, but in the more public sense, of why voters take it into account, and why people should be thinking about it in terms of their discourse and arguments. There were some sidetracks and assaults on the Christian person there about the merits of Christianity, which overlooked some good points about the plurality of religious practice in America and a suggestion that if someone wants to run for political office and emphasise a religious belief, it should be one other than their native belief. An interesting thought, that one. Very informative - and I realized that I've been going to more of these other objects since I became a grad student - it's not that I have more time, necessarily, to do them, but I think I've finally gained a measure of confidence in my ability to do work and a more reasonable estimation of the time things will take for me to do objects, so much that I can actually go out and do stuff and not panic about assignments. Very liberating feeling, that. Maybe I am finally managing to mature. (The other segments of my brain look askance at me when I say that. It still might be true.)
An interesting article - what goes on in the car dealership for the sales force. It's actually rather scary how things work there. Very scary.
With more violence, but less intelligence, a news story about kids beating up a UPS delivery guy. If those kids get caught, throw the book at them, literally, possibly repeatedly. I don't take kindly to random acts of senseless violence. Nor to people who try to overturn anti-discrimination protections in Washington state on a whim.
Although I will laugh at the breakup of a secret cockslapping ring. (Perfectly safe for work.) And that's what you get from me tonight.
