Human Behavior

August 14th, 2010 | Mystitsu

I was watching an experiment on BBC about how Humans try to create a sense of control over random events.  It’s and irrational way of thinking about two seemingly connected yet unrelated events.  If someone for example walks under a ladder and then later spills his coffee, the irrational thought is that the act of walking under the ladder is some how Unlucky.
I thought of how as a child growing up and part of my adult life, people around me would mention that a hot, windless day was somehow indicative of being Earthquake weather.  Because earthquakes are probably the most unpredictable natural event.  But I knew there had to be more to it.  So being more rational than to think that every still day with high temperature was a prime earthquake day I took a class in geology

What i learned in this geology class is that there is no correlation between the plasticity of rock reaching its limit causing a break or fracture, which in turn causes the earthquake and the weather which occurs between ground level and 300ft above the surface.

Watch it Earth Girl

A girl has recently fallen under the spell of the 10th and 11th doctors of the Dr Who franchise and now has her head burning with fantasies and stories decided to make a little blog about it.

The 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant a slender Scotsman who can speak volumes with just a twitch of his bewitching eyebrows is a big change from my recent obsession over the dashing blue eyed New Zealander, Craig Parker.  I think my favorite thing about David is his large eyes, his dimples and his seemingly small frame.

The 11th Doctor, played by Matt Smith almost a polar opposite of David and is more like Craig.  He’s tall, very muscular (probably from his days as a footballer) and seems very boyish.  One thing though that stands out about Matt is that he has very pronounced almost gargoylish like facial features that separately would be hideous. Yet some how the way his face is put together manages to be very attractive.

David also has the potential to be unattractive, especially when he grows a nasty little beard which makes his face look as if his chin and throat are wasting away.

yes, I have named my  blog after the oft used saying of the tenth Dr. portrayed by David Tennant.  He often used this statement with delight as he barreled headlong into the unknown, and once or twice into what seemed certain doom.  I have recently become facinated with the newest incarnation of the Dr. Who program.  The last three incarnations of the doctor have gone from, handsome, to adorable to HAWT and the stories are absolutely brilliant.  But my favorite doctor by far has been David Tennant and when he talks in his natural Scottish accent its just absolute deliciousness.  So thank you doctor.
ALLONS-Y!!!

Really depending on my laptop lately

May 12th, 2010 | Mystitsu

It’s true, I have been.  It began on Friday when I fell ill with what I can only guess might have been some kind of food poisoning.  It didn’t  happen until after I had eaten.  The only thing I had out of the ordinary was fried taco shells.  Apparently I cannot stomach veggie oil, or the chicken was under done.  I spent most of that time, watching lots of movies on Turner Classic Movie channel as well as being on my laptop when I felt well enough to poke at the touch pad and to type.  It’s kind of odd, But I do enjoy the freedom of being able to just simply get up and go with my laptop, as opposed to being locked in place with my desktop.  So I’m eventually going to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit and add another gig of memory.  If I need to game I can use the computer at home.  I’m also doing a lot of work on this laptop so its really important to me.  And it will make downsizing my desktop a lot easier.  A few months back I built a slimline PC for a friend of mine.  I saw one that had a dual core processor, so I may be building one for myself.  What will I do with the bits from my big Bertha?  I’m unsure yet. Now, back to working on this yearbook.
