Automatic Association:
Let me introduce you to The Game. By the way, you all just lost the game. Oh, and so did I. Haha, well most of you probably know what it is, but for those who don't, it works like this:
1) You are always playing the game. You can never stop playing.
2) When you are not thinking about the game, you have won.
3) The moment you start thinking about it again, you have lost.
While The Game is an interesting look into game theory, let's skip over
that. It becomes interesting when I throw in a fourth rule:
4) When you hear the phrase "pink hippopotamus" you will think of the game.
This rule seems a bit confusing. The first three are easy enough to
enforce. They're just conditions. However, the fourth rule is odd.
How can I possibly enforce it?
The truth is I don't need to.
Memories form in chains and the neurons connect, therefore, if you remember one thing, it leads to you remembering another. If you want to remember one thing, you have to remember the chain leading up to it.

Basically, what rule 4 did was connect your memory of the game to your
memory of the phrase "pink hippopotamus." It's not permanent, as the
connections between your neurons are always changing. Sometimes you'll
remember it, sometimes you won't but the association will always be
there.
Now go say "pink hippopotamus" to someone. While they will be completely and utterly confused, you will be loosing the game. Then you will explain why you said "pink hippopotamus" and they will also loose the game.

Have a fantastically dandy day, everybody!

December 21 - End of the World?
It is the 341st day of the year...wow, where did the time go? (342nd in leap years)
There are only 24 days remaining until the end of the year...and according to the rumor of the world ending on December 21st, well, we may not even make it there.
I seriously doubt this will be the case, though.
Technically the world should have already ended one or two times before.
What a load of crap.

Tonight = HOMEWORK CATCH-UP NIGHT!
Three weeks of heavy procrastination and a serious case of senioritis, and tonight I did the unbelievable...Three papers done and two question packets for my film appreciation class, and I worked on my reading labs for my english class. I also started to work on my opinion paper for my english class, which is due thursday, and I got all of my math homework done, got nearly done with slots for my math class, and then I did some serious brain-food snacking. All of this was accomplished thanks to free time in band class, intervention period (which I stayed for today - first time I have done so far this year), and the one and a half hours I have been home since I got done working tonight at 9. I feel seriously accomplished.
