Today was my first day of internship work. Things were good, and I eased into things fairly well, performing a few tasks and being okay with the first few questions that came my way. It was good. More to come. Although after work tomorrow, I think I need to stop by the bank. Got rained out on Intramurals again, so that's two sets of games that will have to be made up somehow. Ah, well. It'll all work out, assuming the weather actually decides to cooperate. You may all laugh now.

I think I've found the solution to the problems that are afflicting the country. Or, perhaps, really, it's how a select group of people would solve the problems of this country. You see, too many of us suffer from Youth, a disease that can last for many years. Once we get rid of Youth, they'd say, the country and the world would run better.

Why it's bad to talk about fishing with a traffic enforcement officer. You may end up telling more than you think.

Another idea of the construction of self, one that fits in with the idea of fragments that I'm currently using, is a technique called self-shifting, where one changes from fragment to fragment, "persona" to "persona", and uses the knowledge gained by acting them out to find what to graft onto them to make them more complete, learning new skills and behaviors that the other fragments have to balance the self out. I'm not sure whether someone in a multiple situation would want to do such a thing, but for people just looking to change their own personalities, it's an interesting exercise.

Something that's not really safe for work, because of the nature of the participants. If you want to see a bit what trees might looks like had they nymphs, dryads, and the like, you might take a look at the TreeSpirit Project. The pictures themselves give off the impression of being artistic in nature, and probably about the art of nature, so they're intended to be viewed with "Beautiful", not "B00bs!" in mind, but take it however you will.

Regarding telephones, and there's been a lot about those lately, are federal leak-pluggers tracking journalists to try and stop leaks from happening? Further information: Yep, they are, using the PATRIOT Act and NSLs to do so. I don't think the plumbers are going to have much success - they didn't years ago. Then again, since liberals are insane, you should probably not take anything I say at face value if it appears to have a liberal slant.

Because of early-morn tomorrow, I go to bed now.

THe FBI is being quite magnamous in telling the reportees that they are in fact under scrutiny. If they are telling the reporters that they need to get some new cellphones, then they're actually trying to help the reporters. They know someone will be listening, and they're actually trying to prevent the reporter from being spied on too much.

I'm not loving the NSLs, but they are at least a legal method and aren't specifically going against the law.
