Word Clouds of the Day: Crystal Smith @ The Achilles Effect (a site that examines how young boys’ understanding of masculinity affects their perception of femininity) culled a list of words from 59 toy spots directed at either boys or girls and plugged them into Wordle to produce a word cloud illustrating which words are used most often in ads targeting boys (top) versus words used most often in ads targeting girls.
“This is not an exhaustive record,” Smith says, “it’s really just a starting point, but the results certainly are interesting.”

Facebook adds civil union and domestic partnership status
Its ironic that I just heard about this AND had a dream last night that I received a relationship status request last night and the choice was “mine”

“
I miss those blue eyes
How you kissed me at night
I miss the way we sleep
Like there’s no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe
But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can’t believe I still want you
After all the things we’ve
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you
I see your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to when I’m not
Around you
It’s like I’m not with me
But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
I can’t believe I still want
You
After all the things we’ve
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you
But I never told you
What I should have said
No I never told you
I just held it in
And now I miss everything
About you
(still you’re gone)
Can’t believe that I still want
You
After all the things we’ve
Been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

tidal Wave
“To dream that you are caught in a tidal wave, represents an overwhelming emotional issue that demands your attention. You may have been keeping your feelings and negative emotions bottled up inside for too long. You may be holding back tears that you are afraid to express in your waking life. On a positive note, the tidal wave symbolizes the clearing away of old habits. If you are carried away by the tidal wave, then it means that you are ready to make a brand new start in a new place.”
This has been a reoccurring dream lately. It’s not the same dream. I’m in different places with different people and then all of a sudden a big wave comes, sweeps me away and floods everything. It’s terrifying. Last night it happened at least 4 times. I’ve never had “repeat” dreams like this before.
I wonder what my overwhelming emotional issue is.

This Is A Real Thing That Is Real of the Day: CIA Launches WikiLeaks Task Force
From CBS News:
Officially, the panel is called the WikiLeaks Task Force. But at CIA headquarters, it’s mainly known by its all-too-apt acronym: W.T.F.
You could make this stuff up, but no one would believe you.

Anecdote of the Day: Negative Double Positive
Based on a true story:
An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.”
A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”
