Three Things
One
I was watching pieces of Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones the other night and came up with a compromise for costumes. The only woman main character wore either dresses with low bodices or skin tight pants outfits that "just happened" to have the bottom of the shirt ripped off during a fight scene. Meanwhile, all the men in the movie are wearing what amounts to three layers of clothing -- three baggy layers of clothing. This is quite normal for action movies, if not so heavily emphasized (though it can be worse). So I came up with a compromise. If all the women are going to run around in skin-tight midriff outfits then I think all the men should have to run around with their shirts off. Turn and turn about is fair play.

I was at home over the weekend and came to a realization about that "hit reflex" I mentioned in my last ramblings. It didn't, as I had thought, come automatically with my reflexes. My dad tends to to wave things like dishtowels or his hands in peoples' faces or ruffle their hair without warning. He also tends to tickle without warning. At some point I must have started wacking him to get him to stop tickling me or sticking things in my face (not like it worked) and that turned into wacking people when I was startled. Well, duh. No wonder the reflex became so easy to repress when I went off to college.

...actually, this is just me whining about feeling dumb and not knowing enough about politics...I think I'll skip it...
Although, it is interesting how I can be watching these news programs about the health care bill and still feel like I'm only seeing a tiny piece of the picture, and then I read one comment on a post and suddenly things make more sense. Part of that is definitely that I'm not really on my own yet, so I've never had to pay attention to stuff like health care before.
...And suddenly my experience with learning MatLab on the go seems a lot more like life ...That's not really a good thing, considering it's taking me forever to learn how to use MatLab (or what to me feels like forever -- I have no real way to gauge it). Hope I'm better at life. *grin*
