The Month of Study needs more Fridays. As much as Thursday is my true love in the week, today I am glad to see Friday show up. I think slightly more sleep than I have been getting is now in order. And lots of tea.

...and lots of reading. I've gotten a bit too much over into the experimentation side of things and wasted a fair bit of study time yesterday doing experiments. It's good to put what you learn into practice... but balance must be maintained.

Also on the schedule for this weekend: finishing watching the last few episodes of Full Metal Alchemist. I've enjoyed it, but I still have to say that I'd recommend Last Exile first if you're in an anime kind of mood. The opening song of Last Exile still gives me a little chill down the spine when I hear it... smile

So, what did I enjoy doing yesterday? My sister had my Mom's truck. My Mom had my sister's VW Bug (one of the new ones). I was elected to ferry cars betweens. So, yesterday, I drove the Bug into work. First, it's bright red. Second, it has bright pink and black flowery print seat covers (very, very obvious and easy to see given that the bug's upper body is really a big glass bubble.)

Ok, compare and contrast the car... with Grayness. Who was honestly looking rather Don Johnson/Bruce Willis-y yesterday, having decided not to shave. (Which I probably should this morning... *sigh*) Who rolled down the windows and blasted Queen on the whole drive in to work.



I had fun. And I very much like the car. (Unparalleled visibility for one thing! No blind spots!) Some day I might get one, but I need to research them, first.

biggrin



Questions, to this point:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

If you could instantly be granted one talent or skill, what would it be? One realistic and one complete fantasy answer cheerfully accepted!

and

If you had to be haunted by a ghost, tell me about the ghost by which you would be haunted.

and

What cartoon character would you like you are most like, and why?

and

A plain box, two feet long, one foot wide, one foot high, arrives in your mail. There's no return address, but it's definitely addressed to you. It gives you no reason for alarm, so you decide to open it. What's inside?

and

Pick a figure from history. Pick one major event in their story. Tell how you would do things differently, and what the result would be.

and

What's the one greatest bit of wisdom you can offer me?

and

What do you think is a good reason to get married, and why? If there is no good reason, why?

and

What's your handwriting like?

and

What's something of which you are afraid?

and

You've been shipwrecked, stranded on an island for at least a year. One morning you are walking on the beach, and in the sand, you come upon one footprint. Yes, one. No footprints leading to it, no footprints leading from it. What is your reaction? (Bonus points if you choose to tell how it happened. )

and

What was something you did today that you enjoyed?



Oh- and I also really, as always, enjoyed my readers' comments.


So, question for today:

Do you believe in magic?

cptpyjama:
No. I do not believe in magic. I believe there are things that we don't yet understand, but that's still science, just like how Everest was still the biggest mountain even before people knew it was. I don't believe there's any magic to relationships, either. Just people with things in common who work damn hard to make things work. It's not some mystical bond, it's not magic. It's better than that though.

And excellent! Queen!

allegro:
I do.

Then again my definition of magic is:
"the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will."
(borrowed from A. Crowley)

If you make things happen in your life instead of letting things happen to you, you are a magician (just not a ritual magician).

I'm ok with labeling certain phenomena as magical until we come up with a better explanation through scientific means. The phenomena still exist, it's better than ignoring them. Energy can be directed and that, for now, is magical to me.
