It's raining circus animals right now. Our version of Hurricane Ivan, I think. Jenny says it's supposed to stick around all weekend, which sucks. There were a few lulls, though.
Got back a little while ago from Greg's house. He cooked dinner, which was very good, as has been the case with everything he's made that I've tasted. I accidentally left my
A Walk to Remember DVD here, so we wound up watching the pilot episode of
Stargate SG-1. It was okay. I still prefer the various incarnations of
Star Trek.
I'm wary of my psychology exam on Tuesday. I'm afraid I won't study right, or there will be things on the test that I don't remember at all. I realized last week that nothing was really "clicking", so I went through my notes a lot more intensively, with the PowerPoint slides my professor sends out. When we reviewed in class on Thursday, I felt like I understood. I hope I can still understand on Tuesday.
You know, when I started this entry, I thought I'd have a lot more to say.
Friday Five
1) If you came upon a time machine, where would you go? Would you alter anything? Why? I'd probably be too paranoid to actually use it. If you go back in time, you have to worry about not changing anything, because that could change the present you return to. If you go forward, you might never want to come back because it's so much better, or you might find out something you're not supposed to. Or you could wind up somewhere
really strange, a la
The Time Machine.
2) If you managed to capture the Questing Beast, an odd combination of animal forms that is said to know the answers to all questions, what one question would you ask it? Would the answer change anything? Never heard of that one, but I would ask whether anyone can ever be truly happy. Ambiguous, I know, but you can't ask what the next winning lottery numbers will be or something superficial like that.
3) You've found yourself a rather obedient genie in a bottle. Make your three wishes. Why, out of everything you could ask for, do these three win out? I would wish to be financially comfortable (i.e., to live like my parents do) for the rest of my life, to find work that will make me truly happy, and to learn how to successfully deal with the daily stresses of my life.
4) Someone presents you with a working voodoo doll. Do you use it? On who, why, and to what purpose? No. That's just so evil. Wishing bad things upon someone because they ticked you off is one thing. Using Caribbean religious magic to make it actually happen is just wrong.
5) Pick a superpower, any superpower. What and why? How would this change your life? The ability to freeze time. Telekinesis would be cool, but stopping time would be infinitely more useful. Extra sleep time, extra study time, extra time for anything. I might finally stop feeling so stressed out all the time. That would be incredible.
