Someone recently reminded me of something about which I hadn't thought in a long while: Koosh balls. Just think about them for a second. Or even a minute - I'll wait.
They're pretty dang sweet, huh?

Frickin' papers! *grumblegrumblegrumble*
Can I just say (of course I can; that's why it's my blog) that I hate writing papers!(?) I thoroughly enjoy thinking about things, analyzing and connecting them, even organizing and expressing my thoughts. But there is something about writing a paper that turns my enthusiasm for cognition and expression into pure loathing.
Can you tell I'm working on one now?

Nothing to C'est
So I kind of feel like writing at the moment (I was inspired, for some reason, by this) but I've got nothing that makes for good subject matter, so I'll ramble (on). Well, I suppose it's false to say that I have nothing that makes good subject matter, as the breadth of my knowledge must contain something interesting, but nothing comes to mind. That, I suppose, is the real issue.
I start Muir 50, the research paper class, tomorrow, so I may soon be very sick of writing. Of course, you, gently theoretical reader, wouldn't notice, as it's been ten months since my last post. On the other hand, that post (and indeed, the genesis of this blog) was during the last time I took Muir 50 (before dropping). So hopefully, (1) I'll be inspired to write for the class and (2) I'll feel like writing in general, and post here more. I did promise to write about certain things.
Last night I started thinking on a short-lyric, beat-ish poem about how comfy and warm my bed was, but I fell asleep before it got anywhere. I have to write a Christmas card - I keep forgetting that. I should also write an MQ article, but if I can't even think of anything interesting about which to write, how am I going to write something funny? Anyway, that's a little stream of consciousness. Incidentally, that reminded me of a Calvin and Hobbes strip - one of my favorites. Anyone know how to find images of print comics online? No, of course you don't; you're not there. ("You're never there." -Cake)
So I've got a topic now - I call it Physical Analogues of the Abstract or How my Brain Works - but I'm fresh out of inspiration. Look for a new post soon.
In other news, this is me. Except Ron Paul is stupid.
Also, I really need to stop using "in other news" and "also."
