Science (non) Fiction

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

…aaaaand now I have ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ stuck in my head. Maybe you do too. I’ve been getting really random songs stuck in my head lately – songs that have no reason to be there – songs like ‘Baby got back’ that I shouldn’t even know all the words to (but I do). It wasn’t even playing on the radio in lab, it just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and I found myself humming it as I was making media. Then someone walking by heard and asked what I was humming and when I stopped to think about what I was humming, I was shocked to realize it was ‘Baby got back’. And it chose to stay there all day – nice for me. hehe.

In other news – my parents are heading up to Wisconsin for a vacation/’quick dash to see everyone’ trip – they are (I’m pretty sure) taking the cute new Civic they just bought – it’s a lovely dark blue and very nice. My brother is happily working in Los Angeles, looking into getting his own place with a friend or two, and getting some good experience in production by working on the set of The Biggest Loser as they wrapped the current season last week. I told him he has to get a nice enough apartment/house that I can come and visit once I get a real grown-up job and can take a vacation.

Things I’ve done lately: saw Top Gun at an outdoor movie showing (fun!), saw Paris Je T’aime with some girlfriends (sooo fun and a cute movie! 18 short films set in Paris in one movie!), got Dawn moved into her new camp in Reidsville (she has her own nice big room) and hit a new high score in Wii bowling (for me, that is – 228, baby!). Lots of fun, but I need a little down time, if only to do some laundry and cleaning.

Have you ever had the sudden realization that the way that you see something is not the way that some people see the same thing? That your impression of something, be it a person or a situation or whatever, is quite different compared with perhaps the person next to you? How do you reconcile something like that? I’m having trouble trusting my feelings/impressions about things when they can be so radically different from person to person. Is that just par for the course in life?
