Pinker!!! Arg

Okay, I’m reading a book by Steven Pinker called The Language Instinct, because I’m all interested in that. This guy’s a famous psychologist, in terms of writing books that people read (not journal articles and studies and stuff). Anyway, he wrote a whole chapter weakly refuting the idea of linguistic relativism. Such! Crap! He kept telling the reader that because we’re so smart we’d obviously see the infinite wisdom of his words, because clearly anyone that disagrees is in the Dark Ages of thinking! Hey, way to appeal to my emotions to make me agree with you, but it didn’t work. Arg. I get worked up about language.

So I was saying in my cam show that I was thinking of putting up screenshots from some of my videos. I have a program that screenshots the whole video for me so I can pick out the pictures I want to be the preview on the site… but I usually get a whole bunch of good ones that I bet you would like. Yes? No?

I had a dream

I keep getting this song in my head because of the civilization revolution music. It has this one part that sounds like Regina Spektor. Not even one of the better-known or recent ones. A bizarre one. Did you know that the German word for a “song that gets stuck in your head” is Ohrwurm? Yeah, they made a whole word for it.

I’ve been hard at work on some new stuff for the site :) Pictures, videos, everything!! I’m always open to ideas, tell me what makes you horny… ;)

Speaking of horny, here is a sweet new picture of me:

I took a bunch of pictures with a PSP, because I cannn and because Loco Roco is a really fun game. They’re so… cute…

Thinking whoosh

I am filled with wonder and excitement today.

Sometimes I feel that the feeling of discovery is such a precious one that it cannot be shared with anyone. I had an opportunity after a revelation to share it with someone. I almost did, opened my mouth to do so, then kind of gave up. I feel that sometimes I cannot express what I want to in words, because the thoughts are swirling around in my head too quickly to speak. Once I speak I’m forced to slow down what I’m thinking and at that point the discovery is not going as quickly and orgasmically as I’d like. And sometimes you think a good thought and the situation you’re in is too mundane for the other person to realize. Language is about synchronization, and trying to get someone to a point that I’m at takes too much time and effort when I’m already completely synchronized with myself.

But ask me to define something in at least 200 words and I’m completely stumped. I speak short thoughts, boiled down to a perfect answer. I tend not to ramble anywhere except my head. Huh.
