1) Wouldn't it be great if pedestrians had horns and used them to cope with busy sidewalk traffic.

2) It's fun to whistle the tune to Total Eclipse of the Heart

3) I'm looking for cases of Trinary Opposition?  A counter to the prevailing notion of Binary Opposition..  If anyone is interested in chatting, I would love to discuss it with you over ( Read more... )

I decided to change my icon.  I'm actually just postponing writing a paper ( Read more... )

I think it would be nice for me to write a 'Thanksgiving motivated' entry. But how can I do such a thing in a manner other than scrawling a list of bulleted things for which I am thankful? At the moment nothing is coming to mind, so instead I will begin this entry considering some positives about my time at home. Where I go from there is ( Read more... )
