I can live on bread and cheese

It's the end of week 1 of the Easter Holidays and my mental state is holding up fairly well. I've not been talking to myself, just laughing and singing to myself slightly louder than normal.

Though I have been singing Anything You Can Do, which may appear to the outside observer that I am talking to myself.

The only major difference is the mood swings caused by the vast amounts of sugar and caffeine required to sustain revision for any length of time. There's already been blog posts grumbling about, among other things, women that type too fast, librarians with baggy trousers and people who hold hands, that were scrapped upon realising that I was just very angry from plummeting sugar levels.

P.S. For those so inclined, here is a video of Envy and Greed having a Anything You Can Do sing-off:

Idiots are amaaazing

One quote that I've never been able to figure out is Arthur C Clarke's:

'It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. '

Both on a individual level (i.e. the ability to hit somebody over the head with a stick) and on a species-wide level (i.e. space travel/planetary colonisation) the quote is demonstrably proven wrong, and it seems strange that a science fiction writer would say something that sounds so much like anti-intellectualism.

I'm like the Ministry of Truth

I need to stop watching and judging people from my window when I'm tired and angry. For starters, it's creepy, and I've already annoyed one aggressive Irish woman doing that.
