Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)

yaa tsi tsup ari dik ari dull an dik ari dill an dits tan dool..
This first time around, the results of our Thinking Time correlated with the rest of the class.
Catrina:
Act: 240
Think: 95
Read: 92
Negate: 24
Kate:
Act: 232
Think: 62
Read: 134
Negate: -28
The negative number occurs here because Kate could negate faster than she could read. This suggests that reading and negating are not correlated.
The second time around we decided to listen to LEEKSPIN, leekspin.com, a funny... song.
Our hypothesis was that, while listening to a long repetitive song, the time it took to think would increase.
Catrina:
Act: 237
Think:49
Read: 98
Negate: 25
Kate:
Act: 271
Think: 41
Read: 100
Negate: -18
The data suggests that there's really no notable difference between our control times and our LEEKSPIN times. Listening to a long, repetitive song had no effect on how fast we thought.
This could be because our brains were able to tune out LEEKSPIN and concentrate on the tests.
