you asked for it
People have complained for the first time that I am not posting enough.
I asked Lauren if I am becoming unsilly. THAT WOULD BE TRAGIC!!!!!!!! She says it's just normal to me and that since she is Lauren Binder, she is always right and I should post all of what I am thinking, even though I think it is unsilly and unblogworthy.
ok, chief.
This is what I have been thinking about when I look in the mirror recently:
There was a large mirror covering the restaurant wall at dinner two Saturdays ago. Ladson turned to face it next to me and asked what I saw.
He said that when you look at someone else in the mirror, you see them the way they see themselves. No one is symmetric.
That could be a way deep thought, but my hair was straight, so all I saw is what looked like my sister with Ladson, and I got a little jealous...
The first flowers of spring appeared this past weekend.
ahh the joys of little yellow buttercups along the side of a jogging path.
I picked two for Paige and myself. Flowers from Jesus...
In the happiness of coming warmth I bought a bar of 85% chocolate yesterday. Seemingly unrelated, I came home at night with a bad headache, and tired body. I told mom it was sympathy pains because she has been dealing with a lot recently. But now I think I was just dehydrated from OD-ing on chocolate/caffeine.

narcissism
Blogs are so narcissistic. You are totally right, Jim.
The topic is all over Julia and Julie. I was convicted again last night when Paige and I went to see it.
I keep thinking about this today, even after receiving a request for an entry about the party we had this weekend.
Maybe I'll just stop blogging. I want to live in a self-sacrificial way. What does that mean?
So instead, this post will be exo-narcissistic.
Thomas. His good friends call him "Big Deal". You don't even need to ask why. Clearly Thomas should be a model.
This picture proves it.
Is he laughing at the sun? Is he holding the world? Maybe he thinks he's in control.
Anyone who can pull this look off with scruff gets a good deal of credit.
Thomas, get on the runway!!!

This is more artistically noteworthy:

In 2007 this article was published online in DISCOVER, stating,
and apparently not all blogs were created equal.If you're looking for "Ms. Popular" you've come to the wrong site. This blog could be used for disgruntled political spillage, or even some technically or mathematically enlightening prose. I shall choose to be a point at the end of one of those tiny iridescent lines on the map of the blogosphere. And maybe if you share this with your friend in Australia and he puts it on his blog, and his cousin in India reads it, and gives it to her friend who blogs about it... we can make the lines cross some more... isn't that exciting!
In closing, check out that picture... and know that God has the entire world in His hands.
WOW.
Recent studies suggest that nearly 60 million blogs exist online, and about 175,000 more crop up daily (that’s about 2 every second).

supercilious
Sarah Yates recently got over a brutal flu and we started running together again! double celebration there!
I told her to check out my blog for some reason and she emailed me the following... Honestly, I could not write a better post, so this is Sarah's gift for the betterment of my blog:

As you may assume, I do not intent to be supercilious with this blog, only super silly.
I particularly like the name -- superciliousx... I do like some puns indeed (I assume you're playing on the fact that supercilious sounds like super-silly (us?)). A random thought generated by your blog (which is for random thoughts): SO in French, I think that the word for eyebrows is sourcils or something similar to that. I always remember what supercilious means (haughty) by imagining someone with snooty raised eyebrows that are very well-tweezed. Somehow supercilious and sourcil seem similar to me......... this is why I did well on the SAT verbal I suppose, because I make RANDOM word associations that happen to be right.... hmmmmmmm. Maybe someone should hire me to write the SAT?

art
It's such a relief that Statistics involves charts, graphs, and lines. ahh the joy of charting vectors, or drawing a Gaussian distribut
ion. I like it best when each page of notes has at least one picture-like element. I only started to become aware of this while living with a lovely Art History, Studio Art double major last year. With an open math book before us, Emily would draw my attention to the beauty of integrals and Greek symbols**. All my math-trained eyes saw was half of a proof. But since then, my appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of Mathematics and Statistics have grown and even expanded to other places, quite unrelated.
Today I went to the new Arches on Emmet St. with Napatra. She immediately noticed the chalkboard-looking menu above us and asked if it was painted on. It was, indeed, "fontish"- the green letters were wide at the ends of the lines and everything was evenly spaced. Look again, next time you go. How many times have I been there and not paid homage to the menu? Napatra = budding brand design genius.
On a less beautiful note, besides me sits a chocolate cake. [Actually, a Texas Sheet Cake which I made for Anna's delayed birthday celebration.] I thought it would be nice to make it into a layer cake. I think it looks like a muddy stone. But I promise it tastes really good. That's why it is supposed to be a sheet cake and not a layer cake. Oh the lessons of life.
I've decided, in the spirit of blogging, that I will not edit my posts after writing a chunk. I think it's more organic to let it be more of a flow of consciousness.

blog
A blog.
I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for the past few days.
The problem I have is that I don’t really know what the purpose of a blog is. I suppose it depends upon the ‘blogger’ and the ‘subscribers’. It seems somewhat wasteful to do something without a purpose.
But I must have thought to write a blog for a reason. Yes, it was those arbitrary thoughts, which leap into my head during STAT513, on my way to the gym, or while roaming around Whole Foods. I want to throw them out there, and see what comes back. Am I the only one who has these thoughts?
So, here starts my blog.
If you read it let me know, because, honestly, I don’t know why people really read other peoples’ blogs. Don’t expect profundity or humor. It’s me, remember.
Yesterday, I had lunch in Qdoba with Marian and Busi, I couldn’t help but notice this young man at the table to my left. He was truly a beautiful person, Red hair and all. I think the quality of my day improved because I saw him. Marian said I should tell him. WHAT? Um, I don’t think so. What would you do if someone told you that you are a beautiful person?
Wouldn’t it be great to be an author? Things like that lunch- I could write it off (no pun intended). Business expenses everywhere, and really, all day, you just observe the ordinary and then write about it. Maybe that’s part of the lure of a blog. I want to write a blog, possibly because I have a suspicion that, after completing a degree in Statistics, I will not go on to be a famous author of nonsensical nonfiction. But who knows...
