Can you think of all the things you’ve ever been wrong about?
Like thinking that ‘tinkle’ was the real word for pee when you were a kid.
Like believing that an undergraduate degree is the end of the line when really it’s an extension of high school and a bridge to grad school.
Like assuming that granola bars are actually healthy for you. What the hell is sodium hexametaphosphate? And why does my Quaker bar have ‘chocolate liquor’ instead of actual chocolate? Start the alcoholics young I guess.
Well, these ‘wrong’ perceptions, there are a million people out there who will tell you they build character. And on a day like today, who am I to argue with them?
Anyways, do you know how many people actually have blogs focused on sociology and their experience of living in a sociologically focused world? It doesn’t matter. But I read some today and I guess I’ll be able to write about that kind of stuff again when school starts up. If anyone’s prof (like mine) is using “Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era” for a class, it’s almost half price on amazon.ca.
I came across the term Astrosociology for the first time today. Good old wiki breaks it down for us as “the study of astrosocial phenomena, the social and cultural patterns related to outer space” so I guess it’s like identifying sociologically notable interactions within NASA and the way space travel impacts the social landscape. Maybe? I could only find one website on it but, heck, if you’re an astrosociologist I would love to hear from you. Until now, I still thought the space landing was faked but I might be wrong about that.
Final Fantasy X is on hold, Maester Seymour killed me good and there’s been no time. Facebook once again occupies my attention span and is a pretty good substitute for a real social life while I’m stuck in this office. Even my Gumby and Pokey figures look bored.
(Hells yes, I actually own these and they’re on top of my desk right now)
