Star Wars personality test

The test is here. aldoushuxley was Yoda. I'm Chewbacca! I don't understand what that means...

Oh, and kalemachka, I'm sorry to disappoint on your recent rampage against these incessant online personality tests. I am curious to see who you'd be, though.... :)

still looking through it

You know that Quick Launch toolbar down by your Start Menu that contains shortcuts to popular programs? I'm still working on my first factory install of Windows 98 from December 1999, so all the shortcuts I've ever placed on that menu are still there. And when I just hovered my mouse over some of the shortcuts I haven't used for a long time, I felt a wave of nostalgia come over me. I remembered installing the different programs, and what I used to use them for, and it reminded me of the period in which I had installed each one. They were like nostalgic time markers to specific periods in my past.

This Psych class has really been tripping me out. It just occurred to me that the feeling of nostalgia is yet another neurophysiological process, and that it is not an intrinsically meaningful emotion, either. In fact, every feeling, thought and emotion in the world is manifested to our conscious minds through the means of a biochemical process in our brains. Wouldn't enlightenment also be just another one of those biological processes?

Nicholas Roerich

kalemachka just posted these links for Nicholas Roerich, a Russian mystic, explorer and painter. His paintings really knocked me out. The way he uses light and colour in his paintings is really incredible. And he does these incredible things with blue that really blow my mind. Especially in Chang-Thang, Himalayas 3, 7, 14, 19, 33. 36, 39, Kanchenjunga, and Sacred Thang La.

His home page is here. His gallery is here.( My faves are here... )
