random side-info: the word "earthling" kind of reminds me of earthworms... oh well. not a big difference there.
i've also been doing an experiment i call "the sheldon cooper method for staying in your right mind." it includes the use of heavily sarcastic smiles and thoughts when looking at/thinking of "inferior life-forms", and other useful stuff inspired by my favourite fict...man in the world. it's fairly effective, i recommend it highly.
still can't get my mind around the fact that it's christmas... like, today. i didn't get many presents either so that might contribute to that too, but had a nice time with my family nonetheless, kind of like a nice, a little unusual friday evening. anyway, probably needless to say i was pretty excited when i got my presents (an electronic book reader and a cell-phone case) and they were wrapped in this:
happy day-of-the saturn to all earthlings!
