The Only Funny Thing in My Psych 101 Textbook

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.

Adding to the Bucket List?

I think it'd be pretty neat to experience what Frances Mayes heard in Portugal:

"Some cousins of Ferdinand the Bull relax in the shade. They gleam like polished copper, and each wears a bell. All the sheep wear bells, too, and when we stop, little symphonies are playing all over the rolling countryside."
--A Year in the World: Journeys of a Passionate Traveller

Wouldn't that be cool to hear? There are so many little things like that that make life extra enjoyable. I want to learn more about random things like this!

There are plenty of sheep in the U.S. Anyone wanna go find some and attach bells to a few hundred of them? :P
