Tightrope walking

might just be as dangerous as it appears. Randomly sifting through the pages of Wikipedia, I found a page about a guy who fell to his death over Niagara falls even though he had crossed it successfully before. Then again, he was reported to be drinking. Let this be a lesson to you, children. Alcohol kills people.

Improvised cooking

Today my mother had to go with my sister to a costume fitting for a play and my father had to stay latter at work. So, he called and asked me to make supper for my two younger siblings. So I asked them what they wanted. They requested pizza, but I lacked the time to make the dough. so instead I took some flour, some milk, some oil and some salt and made a bread-like disk to which I then added cheese. The end result was something more akin to pizza's mediterranean, unleavened origins than it's modern reiterations.

Magic

Today I was just loafing around, seeing as I don't have any school. And, just because, I started to listen to some of my Mario galaxy music. It's lively tempo and upbeat themes awakened something that had gone dormant in my mind; a kind of childish excitement, of dreams, of adventure. I find it fascinating how music can affect one's mood, reawaken memories, and inspire actions. For me, the music made me remember the magic of playing Mario. It helped me shrug off my melancholy mood. but I'm willing to bet that music can work the other way, too.

So maybe we should make all depressed people play Mario.

It snowed!

Finally. It's about halfway through January and this is the first real snowfall we've had since the beginning of December... And, some unseasonably warm weather has been making everything mucky and slippery and gross. >:(

Passwords

Lots of places that require passwords are now asking for a certain level of "security" in each password- Such as having more characters, or adding at least one number and letter. And, yes, I understand their concern: they want to avoid having a thousand different users with the password "Password". Still, I find my originality drops when I'm forced to ad characters- from a complex and hard to guess word, to "123456A" (or something similar, not a password I've ever used) since I want to remember it.

General Ramblings

Do you ever feel like you're making a compromise when you start to work in bigger teams? You give up some of your control, and the project losses some of its personality.Imagine writing a novel in a team of ten people...

Milk has a surprising number of wonderful properties. If you try it, you will find that it is an effective way to remove breath odors, absorb excess sugar from your system, and even slightly reduce the effects of most poisons. All of this is because of the fat carried in milk; the fat cells absorb the thinks like the sugar and dissolve them slowly, instead of letting them permeate into your body. There are also several chemicals that exist in milk because it's been derived from grass: those chemicals, which exist naturally in cellulose (Grass/tree equivalent of glucose/fructose) are not part of our normal diet, but since we humans used to eat cellulose, those chemicals all have specific benefits for our body.
