Quizzes and stuff...

Why do girls like taking arbit quizzes (emode, tickle, blogthings etc)?

a) Because they are not arbit.

b) They can accurately predict what my kissing style is, who is my perfect zodiac match, how much of an exotic goddess I am, which of the 'Friends' I am like the most, what color I am, what my ideal room color, what color my dog should be and even more. How would we survive without them?

c) The Holy Grail of arbit quizzes - Cosmopolitan (and its wannabe spinoff Femina) delves into further details... who calls the shots in my relationship, how aggressive I am in bed, what my wedding date will be, what color nail-polish I should wear on my first date! The quizzes are a support system for womankind.

Holy Grail reminds me... I (finally) read The Da Vinci Code last weekend. Can't really explain why I hadn't read it for so long. It was an awesome experience reading it coz I was Wikipedia-ing everything along the way. Don't care too much about Christian symbology, but all references to cryptology was intriguing. Don't expect the movie to live up to the book.

Book-movie reminds me... 3 days to go until Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. The reviews sound good. I read the whole series only a couple of months ago... and post Da Vinci Code, I realize HP is also full of Christian symbology.

Symbology reminds me... there's a course in Term V called "Introduction to Semiotics" - it's an AP student's delight. I can't grapple with it at all. Argh.

Course reminds me... am in class right now. Neural networks or something. Lemme try and listen.
