The second bird (a beautiful chickadee)(read next post first)

So as for what's going on in my life, it's actually becoming more eventful. Yesterday, i played guinea pig for the psychology department by taking a series of tests about how intelligence is correlated to being able to block out unwanted disturbances in the environment. At the beginning, they asked if i had ADD, and i was going to answer yes just to see what it would do to their results, but decided against it. Either way, they said i did a good job. They made me organize the blocks into the patterns and crap like that, and then gave me a mensa type test, which was kinda fun. All while i was supposed to be at work.
After that i went with Sara to the Urban Challenge, where Verizon gives you some of their top of the line phones and they text message you clues about what kinds of things you need to take pictures of around campus. The winners got $1000, which would kick ass, but as you might guess, we didn't win. However, i got a bandana, a hand hack, a cd, and a hell of a good time out of the deal.
Today was pretty uneventful, but in current world problems, i did hear some news stories that peeked my interest. First, there's speculation that the chinese have captured Osama bin Laden and are negotiating with the U.S. to release him into our custody, i'm guessing sometime right before the election, but they better freakin hurry. With the early voting, such a story might not give bush the boost that he's looking for by holding out and once again leaving the american people out of the loop. The second story was that on 9/11, it wasn't a plane that crashed into the pentagon, but rather a missile that hit it. Supposedly, there's video going around on the internet (you know, that one that is always right), but whether it was a plane or a missile shouldn't matter a whole bunch, except if the people that should've been on the plane are still alive, because it was probably the same group that carried out the attack either way. Just something for you guys to look in to if you're interested. Have a good one, i'm out.
