I love RSA org. because they illustrate their discussions so well that it becomes entertaining and not so much a chore to watch or listen to. Anyways, I don't know if you know but I have this fascination for language and how it affects our perception, attitudes and understanding of things and that is one reason why I particularly like this video which explains the difference between the impact of what is said explicitly versus something which is just vaguely implied. Its an awesome channel! Subscribed.

Black Swan.

The Black Swan Poster. Yesterday - or er... the day before yesterday was interesting. Joanne, Felicia, Hamidah and I met up. We watched Black Swan. It was okay I guess. There was no real plot to it as far as I saw it. The movie showed a glimpse into the mind of well... I guess she was a schizophrenic . I just thought that one particular scene was especially stupid.

It seems that with each passing day, people just happen to pop out of my daily life. There are less people to call when I get in trouble, bored or just in need of company. Bummer right? Yep. The strangest thing about it is the fact that these people have flown to places where I want to be. It seems like the wanderlust within me has been kindled. Maybe I should go away for my birthday in an adventure to.
