silveradeptSo today was fun. I got accused (in a poking fun way) of napping in lecture yesterday, something I don't admit to. (I think I was just resting my head against the seats, because at that moment, that's what felt best. If I fell asleep, I want proof, like someone hearing me saw logs...)
Oh, well. It wasn't anything important that I might have napped through.
The book I'm reading for Sci-fi class is pretty awful right now... very dry and somewhat boring. Hopefully it gets better.
I now have a new group to go out and get stuff for: Liquid Tension Experiment has just made my list of good people, and they're all instrumentals so I like them very much.
Papers, games, and decisions, all to be made tomorrow!
A bit of yesterday's news: France's lower house passed a ban on religious apparel. The official wording seems to be that conspicuous religious clothing and symbols will be banned from public schools. Here's a link to an AP summary. This is both profoundly disturbing and very interesting at the same time. I want to keep a very close eye on this one and see if it works or causes mass riots (not necessarily a mutually exclusive proposition).
I love Calvin and Hobbes, so the following Quizilla is right up my alley.
You are Hobbes. You are loyal, suave, and very wise and often are needed to get Calvin out of whatever trouble he's gotten himself into. As President and First Tiger of the Get Rid of Slimy girlS club, you partake in Calvin's noble attempts to harass Susie, but you often end up committing treason claiming to be wooed by her feminine charms. You love food more than almost everything and often have dreams about tuna, salmon, and almost any other kind of meat. Remember that the rumble of a can opener can mean peaches just as easily as it can mean sardines, you crazy cat. As much as I know how superior you are to Calvin and all humans in looks, dignity, and grace, it might be in your best interests to not gloat so much in the future. Little boys can be quite dangerous if provoked.
Which Calvin and Hobbes character are you?

The alternate description I thought worked best was Calvin's.
You are Calvin...you have an incredibly high vocabulary that is inversely proportional to your awful grades. Your parents love you but they want to kill you as well. You're greedy, selfish, slightly insane, bratty, addicted to cartoons, wild, and messy...everything a lazy six year old should be. Watch out because your vivid imagination will often get you into trouble that will be hard to talk your way out of. To avoid future trouble with the law, never explain to anyone the full details of the Noodle Incident. that information is classified.
And the final thing for tonight is a Manga Meme that's making the rounds.
Scenario: Your life is, as it is, quite ordinary -- but there is a hidden truth, hidden even to you. In the japanese manga [Comic Book] that is about your ordinary life, and this hidden truth, describe the page in which the hidden truth is revealed to you.
First panel, top third: Camera centered on frame. Protagonist has stepped into a shadowed room with two spots of light, one in the center, one on him.
Second panel, right side, small square in second third: Camera over protagonist's left shoulder, with other spotlight in full view, indistinct human-like figure in spot, but upside-down, apparently with feet on ceiling.
Third panel, left side of second third: Camera close-up upon upside-down figure's face. The face is exactly the protagonist's, and it is speaking. "You can't say you weren't expecting this."
Fourth panel, bottom third: Camera has both faces and a slight amount of upper torso in profile. Protagonist is visibly shocked at meeting something that looks like himself. His image appears slightly bored.
P: "You can't possibly be real."
I: "Think about where you are when you say that."
P: "So what are you doing here?"
I: "Haven't I told you that the best way to gain perspective on anything is to stand on your head and look at it again?"
I dunno if I'm somehow violating the mechanics of the meme by including dialogue, but that's probably what it looks like to me.
