Right, then.
Sep. 5th, 2006 01:43 amToday was interesting - Thin Blue Line, baseball, and barbecue with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greyweirdo and crew. We watched LadyHawke and gave it a thorough MST3K treatment - something about 80's synthpop set to a medieval-style fantasy just begs "Snark me!" Also, class begins tomorrow, and I need to hop into town and see if my books are at the other bookstore. If not, oh, well, we'll figure it out soon enough. Last year of coursework begins tomorrow. This should be interesting, and likely in the proverbial sense.
The bit that's been all over the news and such - Steve Irwin, AKA "Crocodile Hunter", is dead from a stingray barb. Whether you say that's sad or make a South Park reference, it happened. Nature wins out in the end. Unfortunately for Mr. Irwin, he got stung one too many times.
Anti-Capitalist Sentiment. Either that, or a stick-figure diagram of how capitalism works.
Oh, scientist-types? I'm getting a very strong bullshit reading from this enterprise that has claimed to create a way of making free energy. Care to evaluate and see if your readings match mine?
In the, "well, duh" department, an Australian group concludes that obese kids may have poorer self-image, and this bad image may lead to their premature deaths. Either from the obesity, or from some sort of depression/mental health problems brought on by said obesity. So, they conclude that playground children are cruel to the overweight kid. We knew this. We also know that if a kid's getting made fun of with regularity, their self-esteem suffers. The kid with low self-esteem is likely to be more prone to depression and all the potential hazards that derive form there. At least the Australians are going at it that the obesity is the thing to be helped, and not the mental state, which would have been a tacit endorsement of obesity.
I'm wondering how the peace will be kept in the house at the moment, having seen the signs of a first potentially interesting conflict, but I'm not worried that things are going to get out of hand. People seem reasonable enough around here, and if we can impress upon each other the importance of our various needs, I think we'll get along swimmingly. If things do get out of hand, I don't expect the house to be at war with itself, anyway. For all I know, I'll be on the attacking side and not the defending. But anyway, I think I'll turn in and go to bed. Maybe in the morning, everything will be sorted out. Anyway, for now, bed.
