Boring. Yes. It. Is.

Wow, I havent posted in......about 10 days, and I think it's time that I gave my readers something to.....well, read.

So. I saw Monsters vs Aliens on Monday. The cinemas were packed. I guess it was because a) it was Easter Monday and b) it was pouring rain. Anyway, I give it 7.5/10. It was good, but not as good the golden masterpieces of Pixar.

Easter was good. Not much else to say, really.

I go back to school in five days. Yee ha, whoopie, wootness. (sarcasm alert)

I went rock climbing last week. Turns out I'm actually pretty good at it.

I'm going to Timezone tomorrow with Tim and Hayden. My one follower knows who him/they are, so I won't explain who they are.

So, not very much news. Oh, well. And I'm bored. Thought you'd oughta know :)

When will people learn; Democracy and computer programs don't work.

I found this talking program online, and it's meant to be a psycholigist. It's called Eliza. I tried it out, and here's how the convo went: (BTW, i don't actually bump into walls. just so you know.)

>> Hello.
How do you do. Please state your problem.
>> i can't stop bumping into walls.
How do you think that you can't stop bumping into walls ?
>> how do i think? don't you mean why?
Why do you ask ?
>> because i need help.
Is that the real reason ?
>> yes
You seem to be quite positive.
>> no, i'm not, because i keep bumping into walls.
Are you saying no just to be negative?
>> no
You are being a bit negative.
>> no i'm not,
You are being a bit negative.
>> yes
You are sure.
>> no
Why not ?
>> yes
I see.
>> no
Why 'no' ?
>> because i need help
Don't any other reasons come to mind ?
>> not really.
I'm not sure I understand you fully.
>> why should you? you're a computer.
Does that question interest you ?
>> no, why?
Are you saying no just to be negative?
>> i didn't say no
You say you didn't say no ?
>> yes
I understand.
>> that's good
Please go on.
>> umm....
What does that suggest to you ?
>> that i have no idea how to fill a gap in a conversation?
Can you elaborate on that ?
>> not anymore than i already have.
Do you say not anymore than you already have for some special reason ?
>> maybe
You don't seem quite certain.
>> that's because i'm not
Does that reason seem to explain anything else ?
>> i'm going to go now. you're not helping me.
Is it because you are going to go now that you came to me ?
>> no......
You are being a bit negative.
>> goodbye.
Goodbye. Thank you for talking to me.
>> you're weird.
What makes you think I am weird ?
>> bye
Goodbye. Thank you for talking to me.
