This was from my junior year of undergrad (the Spring 2008 semester), but I wrote this down and forgot about it until just now:
"Sexual motivation was unaffected, although damaged to the cerebellum presumably would have made copulation awkward." - p. 20 of Research in Psychology: Methods and Design (4th Ed.)
*Note: Psych 101 = The only required upper division psych course at UCB...the dreaded stats class that really isn't so bad...it's just a pain.
*Note 2: Apparently I already quoted this HERE, but oh well.

Copycats
I think it's funny how MANY little tricks, behaviors, sayings, beliefs, and attitudes kids these days have are the same ones my friends and I had when we were kids. For example, kids still say in that same mocking tone, "You can't catch me!"
They also like to copy their friends, siblings, classmates, etc. One day, I was doing something with little Samantha at the preschool last week, and I started humming. A few seconds later, she was doing something nearby and started humming too. I had never heard her hum before. lol Chameleon effect, anyone? Learned about that in my Social Psychology textbook. Cute.
Another time, I wiped my mouth with my napkin during luch time, and one of the girls said, "Look, Miss -----. I'm copying you!" and she wiped her mouth with her napkin. Or maybe she said, "I copy you!" I can't remember.
I think I've said this before, but I'd better be careful about what I do in front of the kids.

Anthony Bourdain + DABDA Reference!
Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations is one of my favorite TV shows because you get to watch him travel around the world to do and observe cool things and eat interesting kinds of food. I was watching the episode on Sweden, and at the very end, Bourdain talks about talking (throughout the show he makes reflections on what he experienced on his trips) with some people about how he hates ABBA:
"It was on and on, deeper and deeper. So much denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally a kind of acceptance."
DABDA! I remember studying these stages in AP Psych in high school. Here is some info on the five stages of grief/dealing with loss, tragedy, etc.
Homer Simpson goes through these stages in an episode of The Simpsons (I think it was the one where he eats the poisonous part of fugu, pufferfish, @ a Japanese place), but I can't find that clip online, and I'm too lazy right now to see if I have the episode on DVD somewhere.
