I...er... yeah. (Don't like LJ's new update look, that's for sure.) I'm... confused. Had a weird dream last night that ended up in me having a creepy, no-good feeling all this morning while I was trying to study physics. It made me very distracted, but I still think I did pretty good on that test. If things hadn't been so weird lately, I could have studied a lot more and pwned it, but yeah, not gonna happen.
I just... ugh. SO weirded out by this feeling. It was sort of like when you drink too much caffiene and you're nervous-shaky, like I was last night and this morning and just all around creepy-outed-ness.
Hmm. Linkspam, I suppose. Sorry I don't make all the links nice and neat, but I like to have the url later on just for reference.
This is cool... the guy rode around the country (10,000 miles... pretty cool. Makes me miss the ride to Kitty Hawk we did) to raise money, so I thought I'd pimp this a little. http://8wishes.blogspot.com/
Sometimes, humans are idiots. We have managed to extinctify (?) a 20 million year-old species, the white whales of China. What, the article says there are... 13? left. Yeah. We're fucking GENIUSES here, folks. So long and thanks for all the fish. http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/12/13/china.dolphin.ap/index.html
Random really cool word time! I'm going to start collecting fun words in a notebook. Yeah, you look at me like I'm crazy, but... here's an example. The word calliope. I LOVE it. It's really pretty, musical (no pun intendid), kind of antiquey. Exotic. I dunno. I just like words. So I was looking up Scylla and Charybdis (the monster and the whirlpool in The Odyssey, and I always think Scylla is the whirlpool until I look it up, and also that's the origin of the phrase "between a rock and a hard place" because Scylla got turned into a cliff face) and I realized I LOVE Greek names. I already have loved the name Calliope for... hm... going on two years, that I've consciously known that. So, Scylla, Charybdis, Calliope. Randomly thinking of words ending like that, looked up Xerces, which is apparently a butterfly, so I was way off on that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerces_Blue and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliope and origins of "ard" http://community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/5701729.html

err...December 12th was Edvard Munch's birthday (thank you, Google!). He apparently painted several versions of "The Scream." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_munch
And, a very silly little thing about the incredibly anonymity of the internet; people are attacking it as Oedipal, but they are VERY clueless. (Dude, the kid didn't know it was his mom.) And if you're having trouble finding the links like I was, they're the highlighted words in that very brief summary. http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/56917 (ALSO, BEBO HAS DIGITAL WHITEBOARDS. That's probably the coolest, awesome-tastic feature I've seen on blogs yet. SHAWEET. [The rest of us just upload jpegs, lol. Geekery FTW])
Aaaaaand... speaking of really fun, antiquated words and such, this site has some really sweet shit. It's a perfume company, but man, do they kick ass. http://www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com/
I think that's it. Gonna practice tomorrow for SW and run to the mall, and the thrift store, and the bookstore to find me some Douglas Adams. Mehbeh. Gotta pack up the room and hope it isn't pinkified... *sigh*
