Right, here we go again.
Oct. 9th, 2006 11:54 pmThings will slowly start returning to normal soon, just in time to get hectic in terms of papers and projects and the convention. Sounds like a plan, really. Just have to remember to bring the DVD back to the library, as it's due tomorrow, and I don't want to deny anyone their Unfortunate Events. Heh-heh-heh. Anyway, come Friday, I'll find out whether my hair can spike and I fit into a tuxedo that's too small for me. Luckily, my work is still doing okay - although I should really get moving on projects and presentations that I have to do for next month - considering they all require teamwork of sorts, it's time to get the ball rolling on them, I think.
Earlier (at some point), I linked to someone that said she had difficulty obtaining EC after a condom broke between her and her lover. To now compound the situation, it turns out she's pregnant from it and will now go get an abortion. Some of her comments were things like lists of poisonous herbs disguised as helpful, people threatening to rape her and kill her in painful and desperate ways. Apparently, there are some people who believe firmly that the fetus's life is far more important than the mother's. These same people may not care one whit about what happens to the child after it's born, but it must be born, despite the potential for it to cause ruin. Apparently, the fetus has to live, even to the point of killing the mother to ensure the fetus's survival.
North Korea says they've detonated a nuke underground. The world reacts in a predictable manner, namely, "YOU DID WHAT?!" Even China says, "d00d. That's so not cool."
John Stewart says he's not running for President. Although, if he's 35 and a natural-born citizen... he could run at some point. Which would be interesting - although I suspect people are wondering because of the Robin Williams movie. Too bad - Stewart might be able to make something work, just by being a comedian.
10 reasons why we all make stupid decisions, or the biases that make us do things we shouldn't. Like electing a person to office rather than his platform. Or testing the monkeys-and-Shakespeare Hypothesis.
Robot can follow with the music. Soon, soon, we'll have nice robotic accompaniments to our virtuosos. Or robot bands. Music by machine... we'll have to see whether they can compose and play with the best of human insanity.
A list of common errors in English. Also available in book form. It's exceptionally good, I would say, for those who have homophone problems. Also, some helpful hints for writing a paper.
Anyway, bed, bed, bed. And off we go. Zed.
