useless_facts which is wonderful because not only do I learn useless facts, I also learn about the debunking of other useless facts
food_porn which has some random stuff like getting vanilla beans off of eBay, or just random pictures. Of course, I'm all about the random recipe posts with accompanying photo that proves its working-ness.

marxistdotcomrs a new addition to my syn list, it posts commie news, which is really cool because it's so completely different from normal news. XD
draculablogged, an interesting thing where Dracula is present to you chronologically as the event "occurs" in the book. Kinda fun read when friends aren't updating, but these days just a looong thing to scroll through. Nice concept, though.
In other news, today I dug out my old math stuff from 7th and 8th grade for my brother to look at. It's amazing how well organized my stuff was back then. Y'know how nowadays stuff kinda gets piled up until I sit down at the end of a quarter and sort them into folders and file them? Back then I sorted each folder into "tests and projects" "homework and handouts" and "in-class notes". ... Okay, so I still sorta do that, except now it's more like "papers" "readings" "notes". But it's still impressive given the number of subjects back then. And all these files are in brown paper bags, clearly labelled and stacked in decending order. After 10th grade I switched to boxes. I'm such a pack rat! I also had ridiculously horrible handwriting back then. (Like, worse than how). So yes, spent bit of this morning reading my old 6th grade POWs. Whoa, I was one smart cookie back then! And so naive it hurts. (Okay, still naive, but hopefully less so). And 6th and 7th grade? utter waste of time! Math? what math? Let's learn how to write checks and travel around the world in 7-league boots! And I remembered how to factor. And like, omg Mr. Tsuruda. I still write my 9's like him.

Aug. 9th, 2005 06:58 pmWell, the Proof trailer is up, and has some half-decent shots of UChicago, I think mostly of Eckert and the old GSB building (where we watch anime!). Anyway, UChicago's so small that you really isn't much else to see. Except, of course, MaxP. XD. Thankfully, it's coming out Sept. 16, when I'm still here, so I wouldn't be in a crowded theatre of UChicago folks opening day. But if it's good, it might merit a re-viewing with the Chicago folks when I get there.
