Little duckies, all in a row

Jan 20, 2007 23:52

Took the GRE today. I think it actually broke me out of my writers block funk I was in. The writing portion of the test was actually quite fun -- one section asked me to write about how studying something changed your view on the world (which I have no trouble writing for hours about) and the other asked me to rip apart a fallacious argument ( ( Read more... )

Glad things are working out for you, man. Sounds like you've got a good start on the year. :)

Thanks! Yeah, my year seems to be starting okay. How are things with you? You still in Japan?

How much did you weigh when I was around...like in 2000?

zanfur January 21 2007, 20:04:32 UTC

220lbs. I like that weight. I could be skinnier (I was 180 or so when you met me in the dorms, before we got into CS), but I think I like the muscle mass I get at 220.

For what it's worth, I'd have asked about the car before the people in that situation, too.

It's a POS, and it's my second car. I don't use it except once a month or so. I would have been only mildly annoyed if it had been completely totaled -- I had just assumed that he wouldn't be so worried about the car if anyone was actually hurt, then realized that he might have been really scared of my reaction ...

That's funny--hello_mike drove my car into a wall. I didn't realize it was a common occurrence. :)

fallacious arguments are the BEST! When I took logic I thought I would hate it, but I loved it! I didn't realize it was a "pointing out when people are dumb" class.

plus...it sound like fellatio

fallacious!
