Interesting thoughts from the last week

[hundun]

Sunday
1. Stop signs are on the cross street: good, I have right-of-way.
2. A truck!
3. Bicycle+truck=bad
4. Hmm... I won't be able to brake in time
5. Yup, I was right. I hope I won't be too badly hurt.
6. (discontinuity of memory)*
7. Holy shit, I'm okay. I didn't hit my head. Good.

*I remember a loud "thump"

And I am okay, I just have some

Augh! Are you sure you didn't hit your head? I'm glad you're OK, though.

It's interesting to hear about the changes you notice...I might repl to your e-mail about research proposals...Keywords: pronoun problems, stereotypes, communication, assertiveness, assumptions, naming conventions, re-writing personal history. Of course, other people may or may not have the same gripes I do.

I think that I'm good for a project actually, butthe topic sounds like the foundations of a social-justice/mutual-understanding ritual, such as I have seen performed by Nichiren Buddhists.

True. Or a disambiguation thingy. Also, I take it for granted that sub-cultures/minority groups/any group of people does things that others find annoying, or that are annoying in general.

Hi

"Hit" is the past tense of "hit", so you don't need to include "was" as well. A more correct phrase could have been "I hit my Helen Hunt when..." Nice use of euphamism, though: I applaud your adventurous exploration of this difficult language!
