A scattering of random thoughts that have been using my brain.
I've been working on re-apping Ghost to Garou. I'm not sure why, since
I know I don't have much time to play her -- although if I quit taking
classes to maintain my potential froshly status I'm going to have
enough time to mud twice a week at least. That's not why I'm doing it,
though. I'm doing it out of a sense of completion. Having a
solidified background (since I started playing the character off a
rough set of notes) gives me something to work off of if I ever want to
transfer the character to another medium. And the writing is good for
me.
Babylon 5 last night was pretty good, although I'm not sure I bought
all of the Edgars scenes... some of them just didn't flow right for
me. Still, I was intensely interested for the first time in several
weeks... and Lyta is just _so_ cool.
My math class has finally gotten into interesting things, like
weird stuff with complex numbers. I need to interrogate Earl about
this so I can attempt to determine precisely what it is I'm enjoying
and take more classes involving these things.
Ray and I had a good time last night after B5, debating whether or
not copying yourself into a computer counts as living forever. If
there's a computer simulation of me running that is a) self-aware
and b) truly believes that it is _me_, just downloaded into a
computer... is that life-extension? What precisely is the line of
identity here, anyway? Have I just read too much Greg Egan?
Those aren't questions I have answers to, but it was interesting
to discover that, occasionally, I really am weirder than Ray. This
is no small feat.
