Procrastinating!
Feb. 12th, 2007 04:22 pmIt is vaguely warmer here! That puts me in such a good mood; I want to go run around to various parks and stroll down random streets. Quite possibly the same mood inspired the group of teenage boys playing skins vs shirts basketball I passed earlier. You guys, I realize that it's no longer the bitter, painful cold it's been, but it's only 39 and it's the middle of February. Put your clothes back on.
Alas, though, I cannot play half-naked basketball because I have to- let's see- "develop a model for the social dynamics of early villages and towns in late Neolithic Egypt". Fascinating.
You know, I've noticed that I overhear many more random conversations when I'm not constantly wearing headphones. My favorite so far involved a group of yuppies debating whether the United States was going to join the EU or become 'North Mexico'; it would have to be one or the other, you see, because "those people are just as smart as us, and they work harder".
