Owing to being really busy at work, and (when I get out on time) in the evenings, I've not posted much recently. So here's my current list of things I don't have time to do justice to:

  • Dating
    • Having seen a couple of people point to a flawed article on dating amongst other things has made me want to try and write an Introspection post on the topic, so I can get my own head around my own thoughts on it.
  • RaceFail '09
    • I've spent many hours I don't have to spare reading up on the past three of months this fandom wide argument, and come to the conclusion that I don't have anything useful I could say.
    • I may or may not keep reading, but given that you would find it hard it hard to tell if I had, lets not worry.
  • Avenue Q
    • Went to go see this at the weekend with Dad. Very good.
    • Particularity enjoyed the song "Everyone's a little bit racist".
    • For some reason I got tunes from The Little Mermaid stuck in my head afterwards.
      • What is the correct way to include A Title in a sentence about "a title"?
  • Images

    • New Shelves (from Islington Council's version of freecycle)
      • Photobucket
        How do I get in my room now?

      • Photobucket
        I just put these up, how are they full already?
      • Also: That's a lot of cr*p on my door too. Time to clear that down.
    • "Northern Irish" flag

      • Remember that artsy new flag for Northern Ireland?
        Photobucket
        Well over the weekend it got caught in the string, and today seems to have been torn in half. Nature causing art to imitate life?
  • My Mad war with [livejournal.com profile] chiller
  • A repost from my Facebook wall explaining why I was explaining maths to Jehovah's Witnesses
    • Gödel's incompleteness theorem is a mathematical proof that in any sufficiently complex system of arithmetic, there will statements that you cannot prove as true or false.

      E.g. Tell me if the sentence on the next line is true or false:
      This sentence is false.

      You can assume the statement is true and develop a whole branch of maths off of that. Or you can assume it is false and develop a whole different branch of maths.

      This is what I personally believe about God. The question is undecidable. You can form a coherent set of beliefs starting from the assumption that there is a deity/pantheon of some sort. You can form a coherent set of beliefs starting from the assumption that there is no God. But since it's not provable either way this seems like a waste of time.

      This is why my religion on Facebook is Evangelical (I like telling people this) Strong Agnostic (I believe you cannot disprove a god).

  • Meta post
    • Given how little time I seem to have to blog I wanted to take a look at why I do again. Culminating in a poll asking you to pick one of my tags: Diary, Link, Introspection, Reveiws.

    • Ironically, I don't have time for this.

Speculation on this week's XKCD )

[1]Aside:
It's been a while since any of irregular webcomic's characters displayed forbidden knowledge and 1390 threw me a little.It's one thing to have a GM shout down from on high that they are cheating, but it's quite another to be reminder that Lambert isn't actually supposed to be a hobbit, but an RPGer playing at being a hobbit. When they normally do it, all you see is the pieces talking to each other. So in the first panel I "saw" Lambert. The statement that the RPGer wasn't in the same room as the others anymore was a real jerk, as I have no mental image of what Lambert's RPGer looks like.

Just made my first filtered post. I'll consider this an experiment, and see how it does.

I'm not normally one given to great introspection. I'm happy within myself. I may get irritated about some aspects of my personality, but generally I like who I am, and wouldn't change a thing. I tend tolive by the principle "have fun" and endlessly rehashing something that went wrong is is not fun. Similarly Re-living an event is not as fun as doing something else.

This lack of introspection and a general loathing to write means I've never managed to keep any sort of a diary. But occasionally I do regret not having a record of some of the stuff that's happened to me. And I do want to be more creative. So I'm going to try and make more posts, and post more personal stuff. But that'll be filtered.
