Not that I am the law.
Still ---
I am not stupid, I may be good for something one day.

And yet, I --- great-at-most-things-now,1 capable-of-more-soon,2 and level-headed-always,3 --- oh. Well. There you go: rather full of myself, am I.
And according to my kalabans, indeed capable of:
2) sophistry; and
3) ingenuity,
but allegedly nevertheless lacking in: arithmetical acuity.
Well I have never claimed to be nimblest with numbers. In fact I was tres in Math (what was it?) 12, and had to re-take Math 100. Okay maybe I was 2.75 in Math (what was it really??) 12. I can't quite remember. But I fared quite well on the Pain Scale:
Sappy-Happy; Medical City, February 2009.
...eventhough the nurse had some doubts whether or not I could put words together in a meaningful manner:
Coherent: Yes and No.
In any case, it is Science that I love, (hence ---
From climbing boat with knees from 12 feet deep in Bohol.)
...with flame fanned, fire fed and flare fueled by such things as:
Making Science Popular.
Somebody should give me more of Mr. Gould's books. He is funny and smart and makes Science less Unintelligible Details, more Wonderment and Awe. Dear Mr. Gould,
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me
Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes, oh us
Now we're photogenic
You know, we don't stand a chance.

1 Except focusing, volleyball, and Lumines. Also these.
2 More consistent posting? More honey? More.
3 Yes.

That could happen, happen to someone.

1.So, The Post has been posted.
I wondered for a moment whether this was to break the rule forbidding posts on the Ewwwws, the Ickies, The Feelingly Felt.
A happy surprise.
I'm glad that Ego is resting against plump pillows, being fanned, and fed grapes.
2.I don't know Mr. Gould, but he seems to be a good egg.
3. Isn't Ambulance LTD's 'Anecdote' smashing?
4. You should read David Mitchell's Black Swan Green. In my favorite chapter, Solarium, there is a fun bit on sophistry.
5. I think Lucky Souls should go... luck themselves. Haha.

1. What I remember is that he was sad after my first exam and then glad after I did better on the second. I think. I might be remembering things that never happened...
2. Oh who said this -- "Pa-throw..." Hahaha. :) :)
4. Who, indeed. Haha. Clever, aren't ya. :) :)
G -
You're always welcome in my House of Shen. :) :)
I like "something". Because it's sufficiently vague!
C -
1. Alas, I don't think I am capable of that/those. Hahaha.
3. It was the first one that I noticed, actually. Though it makes me feel tingly more than its smashes. Whole record does that to me. :) :)
4. Gimme it.
5. Haha. But first --- won't the real Lucky Souls please stand up?

I had a birdsong and blue skies time typing the name above. Loves it.
M also throws in 'subalit' in casual conversation. Hahaha.
A, what do you think of MGMT? I am obsessing over their... everything.

Just checked them out. I think electronica is a more of a fling-type thing for me, though. Hahaha. Where did you find them?

I have always liked electronica. But Magnetophone's album (bought on our CD spree) is a bit much. Beats even my dear Panda Bear (not Shi Shi), who if I may so so myself does the ultimate in sampling.
I read a CD review of Oracular Spectacular sometime in 2007, I think. I have had MGMT on my Bubbling Under list for some time now. But when you listen to pretty much only frothy pop for months... you forget that rock music...well... rocks. It is official. Moving MGMT to the Boiling Over category.
