WATCH OUT!

I just got really excited for Christmas (decorations and festivities) this weekend.

Consider yourself forwarned.

tea-ometer [digression from checklist]

it takes two cups of chamomile tea to make me warm--does flavor matter?

variable: nose is still cold-better try a new flavor tomorrow.

this is going to be a long winter!

checklist (ongoing)

Check off first task on checklist which is"start checklist"

Second item: play mancala with pet cat (easy win?)

Third item: get a cat (must be bad at mancala)

what is going on?

I think I'm now following myself.

bike pysched!

Chairs in the Yard

Harvard has these funky chairs of various colors and back settings.  They're a fun time, and on a not-so-cool fall afternoon prompted a lot of people to hang out in the yard.  Even a banjo player...

Bikety Bike!

This weeks bike class is all about bike culture and bike identity. It's funny to think about how each cultural group identifies itself, and how individuals identify with a specific group (or multiple groups).

I just read an article social identity--products as social identifiers, and the salience of a represented identity indicated by frequency (meaning-if you're a full-time student, and work 10 hours a week, you would call yourself a student, not a worker).

Although it was fun to read this in a scientific-y format, some work of sociology and psychology is silly to me because they take concepts that are seemingly common knowledge and make them into theories. I'm just saying, obviously people who identify themselves with a certain group will buy into products related to that group, and so on.
