Lucky escape for Arsenal if it did.
The victory of spring was brief, and winter is back all around.
Plexq came over on Saturday, and drove us to a bookshop where we bought Rio some books; then he drove us out to the King of Prussia mall, where we drank milkshakes and bought some doll clothes for Rio. (The KoP mall is a mall near here which is possibly the biggest in the US. People from Minneapolis might disagree, mind.) Then we all came home, and played Give Me the Brain.
Apart from that, I've been doing housework and shovelling snow most of the weekend. The law here is that you must clear the snow from the pavement/sidewalk/whatever you call it outside your house within 24 hours of it falling. This is harder because we had hail followed by snow followed by more hail, so it was an ice and snow sandwich which couldn't be scooped up.
Google is showing me an RSS headline which says "Scientists: Trying to Change Earth's Climate is Tricky". Also, math is hard.
Congratulations to Benjamin Otte on making it possible to view YouTube videos using free software. Awesome work.
A number of people have asked to have 399373 fixed. I am moving it to the top of my queue because it will make a lot of people happier when it's working, and it doesn't seem like it would be very hard to fix. More news on this soon.
Here's a question I'd like to ask you all. I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day, and zie said that zie feels like zie has no personality of zir own, but only picks up the personality of the people around zir like a chameleon. I said I thought it had a lot to do with self-esteem and self-deprecation. Zie said that because of this, zir personality was a copy of other people's, and that zie was determined to find a personality of zir own. So we got to discussing what actually made up an independent personality, and how to go about not being a clone of everyone else, and neither of us had very many ideas. Then zie said that I have a lot of people reading my journal, and perhaps some of them would have ideas. So, any thoughts for my friend?
