from earlier today:
i was seated in the reg USITE and i find something of a natural experiment set up in front of me. the two computers next to me in my island of terminals were not working. one of them had a piece of paper stuck on it indicating that fact, the other did not. amusingly, 4 people came to try and "fix" the one that had no paper stuck on it, whereas the only interaction anyone had with the other terminal was the remove the seat from in front of it for alternative use. goes to show how humans are very trusting of what is essentially arbitrary authority. the piece of paper wasn't some official looking document on letterhead paper; it was just a handwritten note. i was highly amused.
in other news, i feel as if my life is turning into some kind of sick sitcom. the problem with sitcoms is that character development tends to be sparse and a long time coming. i do hope that i am learning something about myself now. at this point the concept of entropy comes to mind. if i think of my life as a mess, would it tend towards maximum disorder? why then does some parts of it make sense, while others seem destined to head towards chaos? is there an ordering process that is happening right now? i sincerely hope so.
time to go to bed. there's some stuff to integrate. also, i can't believe 'juno' won best screenplay. happy that 'falling slowly' from 'once' won best original song though.
