Listening to daniellesmagic now, and it makes me feel cooler.

Not cooler as in the "I am incredibly fabulous" cool, but the "I feel less hot and sweaty" cool. Meep it's the dead of the night and it's still sweltering. I thought nights were supposed to be cooler on account of the fact that there is no SUN. Oh Mr Sun, Sun, Mr golden sun, please shine down on me [oh julia R, you are going to hate me.] Maybe it's the heat capacity of the building material. Eg Water has a high heat capacity, which explains why swimming pools are warm in the evening and cool in the morning. The concrete has a high heat capacity, so it absorbs the sun's heat and radiates it at night i.e. NOW.

But the concrete is painted white, so it's supposed to reflect light energy, right? Not absorb it. Although a paper I read today about green roofs says that the plants on the roof "process and diffuse" heat rather than merely reflecting or absorbing it. There aren't any plants on my roof. In fact, the roof of the apartment is inaccessible to any residents, because the management is afraid that we don't know well enough than not to fling ourselves off the top. Whee.

About barney, again-- (last time I will bring this up, I swear)-- hearing the songs again makes me understand why they are so annoying. I could understand how I could be put off by this. I can now understand why my parents wanted me to put "The Land Before Time" into the LD player instead of barney. Why, why, why, do they deliberately make children's media awful? And deliberately set out to annoy everyone except the kid who is watching it? Teletubbies and "again! again!" is a case in point. Said kid stays quiet and still, so this is a trade-off.

Was flipping through my old enid blytons before mercifully giving them away at the library-- I could have tossed them into a large bonfire, only it would release greenhouse gases and make me feel hotter-- and realised that my innocent childhood was marred with awful, awful, vomit-inducing writing. Do you not realise how bad the writing is? Think Beedle the Bard and Dumbledore's notes, and you will get what I mean. Enid Blyton introduced me to the concept of being spiteful. On whether this has positive or negative impacts, I will leave you to decide for yourself.

I am wasting the last days of BEDA doing this!! D: Okay I have to settle down and make a list of things I want to talk about before beda ends.

I won't be commenting as often in the coming week, because I have to study/ cram/ mug for my SAT test this saturday, in addition to all my other homework. If I do okay, I won't ever ever have to study for them again! [This is a reward in itself.] Rest assured I will catch up on things once my SATs are over, and comment accordingly :D
