i found it really coincidental that one day after i decide to change topics, an article highly relevant to my new topic appears in the NY Times... =) printed like at least 6/7 papers to read, and 2 of them seem somewhat dubious and crappy but i can't tell if it's cos i dun understand what they are trying to do, or are they really kinda crappy? sigh anyway hav to go revise my 171 stuff in order to make better assessments of all these things. and so i'm going to have a nerdy weekend.... =P

and it's starting to get cold... and heater's not on except for like 15 min in the mornings... i'm so tempted to get a down comforter to snuggle under... well not like my bed isn't comfortable enough.... but it's even better to have a comfortable AND warm bed right. =P but they are ex. =(
