Zoe’s Journal

I was thinking today at work. When a piece of paper is lying print-side up, why do we call it face-up? Or face-down, if the blank side is up? It’s a pretty simple concept, but it amazed me still.

The face is where the important information is. People can’t tell anything about you from the back of your head. Same for a face-down piece of paper. Can’t see anything important. Whereas if you turn the paper over, or turn the body around, you have a whole wealth of information!

It’s interesting how humans try to relate to everything as if it, too, where human. Cat ‘arms’, face-up paper, etc…

Interesting.

I’m pretty energized tonight for some reason. This morning I was super-tired and dreading all of the stuff that I have on my plate. But I got some stuff done/started at work today, and had a good workout afterward. It’s not quite 7:30, and I’ve finished my homework.

There is still a pile of about 25 cd’s on my desk to rip onto the computer, a whimsy rag article to write, a book review to write, dinner to cook, and a shower to take, but I feel OK. Oh, and I need to remember to buy some stamps.
