san andreas, no fault

sidebar of the people

My name is Candi, and this is my first sidebar entry. In fact, some of you may have seen my name or my journal link floating around Kirk's entries!

The past few days I have been thinking of alternative universes. Why, you ask? In the history of science class I am taking, we just began covering quantum physics, not so much the math aspects and the more in depth theory of course, but the basics. Anyway, I was wondering if perhaps there was a universe where everything is perfect, where things go how I want them to, and everyone I care about, myself included, is healthy and happy. But isn't perfect just a state of mind? Everyone has different views of perfect, so do all those universes exist? Am I living someone else's ideal of perfect?

Map of the Moment

--This is a shrunk-down version Ian Albert's map of the entire layout of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. For a video game it's a huge amount of continuous area, and Ian Albert's map is 6,000 pixels on a side. From Ian Albert's San Andreas page (which includes other useful views), plus he has mapped some other games as well. It's kind of a cool little hobby. The DOOM I + II maps, in 3/4 perspective, are brilliant...so many of those levels I learned by "feel" (turn left, run straight, left again, right) that seeing them, with all the graphical detail that the in-game overhead maps lack, really lets me "see" them for the first time. (Thanks LAN3 who IM'd me with the first map, and then put the link in the comments the other day.)

Embarrassing Admission of the Moment
"I'm the total package: all the lurp, none of the unpleasant smell."
Me presenting myself as a lurpy but good smelling guy, 99-11-29
TMI WARNING, READER BEWARE:
That was something I wrote down 6 years ago yesterday. Lurpy in the sense of a little big and ungainly...but generally free of offensive B.O. For a while I thought it was because I'm not particularly hairy as far as guys go (well, besides the fact I'm generally under-exercised) but lately I realized it might be because of my tendency to sweat from my head; my mom says even when I was a baby she couldn't put a hat on me because my head would get so hot. So, while headsweat isn't particularly attractive, at least it's not associated with unpleasant smells.
