Nifty

Today was really nifty.

I feel a bit strange because we've just moved to Idaho and there's a weird smell in the house.

I'm so stoned.

Last night I had to finish my term paper on the history of pre-communist Russian society. I focussed on the needs of women. I think it's ok, but if I don't pass this I'll lose my scholarship.

Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Here's ten thousand photographs of my cat.

I want to say thanks to my dad for giving me my own computer and digital camera. Here's a photo of my room. The weather in Ontario is cold. I have nothing more to say.

You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you you're a moron.

That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with this thought - sharing your life with strangers on the internet is the cheapest form of therapy available. Leave a comment and tell me I'm beautiful.

Good things

Is there any time the reflexive case is more appropriate than when talking to or about one's computer? "I didn't do it, it messed itself up!"

In a kinda-related note, here's something I've been thinking of off-and-on for a while but never got around to writing down: If I were a sociologist I would write my thesis on the ways people anthropomorphize their computers (which a lot of people seem to do, we talk to them, attribute moods to them, name them, treat them like pets or small gods or magic tokens whose nature we will never understand).

In a not-at-all-related note, I think I should get to write my Russian history paper on this thesis: Rasputin did not die. Why not? There are conspiracy theories about this sort of thing happening to JFK and Jim Morrison and other people who didn't verifiably evade death to the extent Rasputin did.

Well, it's better than Jenn's. She wants to write about how Elvis was an alien. I reminded her that it had to be about something, you know, Russian. So she said, "He could be a Russian alien!"
