Oh, after the ultrasound you'll know what color to paint the room! How exciting!" And uh...no. So not the point.

No, of course not. The pink versus blue clothes are MUCH more important.

Plus, I'm sick of referring to the baby as "it." If it's big enough to have visible genitals on an ultrasound, it's big enough to deserve a personal pronoun.

No kidding!

Anyhow, it's still a surprise, you just find out when you're not distracted, exhausted, and in pain, you know? You get to appreciate it.

Unrelatedly, why is Gilmore Girls sucking?

I know. It feels like it shouldn’t. It kind of feels the same, but not. OTOH, I hate Zack with the passion of a thousand white hot suns (always have, even before he and Lane got together, but I did love Dave so), so I can’t really get into that. Although Mama Kim is always a hoot. I did like Rory telling Lorelai to be honest, and how not being honest bites you in the ass. Cause it’s true. Of course, Lorelai isn’t going to listen to her, and it’s all going to blow up. Side note: Did anyone else notice/was bothered by the fact that she didn’t sign the letter? or was it just me?

Please to send superglue for I am broken.

The line that really got me was I don’t know how to live in a world without my dad in it. KILLED me. I cried too.

I think I like "Jesus Loves Me - But I Still Make Him Wear A Condom"

It wasn’t on the list, but I was amused by a sticker I saw the other night – “Do you follow Jesus this close”?

Vortex, YES!

I loved Xtina in that scene. Although, I love TR so much more now. The scene with him yelling at Chief and Bailey KILLED me.

Did anyone else notice/was bothered by

I didn't notice that, but I did notice that she conveniently left the yellow pad with her draft open next to the typewriter where Christopher can easily find it.

Vortex, YES!

I'm having lunch with my dad today. He's getting an extra hard hug.

Hil, I did notice that. And don't forget what I said about secrets biting you in the ass. Mark my words.

I think it's good to periodically stretch out the ol' brain....

I've posted about this in the past, but here's some more info: Science hopes to change events that have already occurred

Dating back to Newton's laws of motion, the equations of physics are generally "time symmetric" -- they work as well for processes running backward through time as forward. The situation got really strange in the early 20th century when Einstein devised his theory of relativity, with its four-dimensional fabric of space-time. In this model, our sense that history is unfolding is an illusion: The past, present and future all exist seamlessly in an unchanging "block" universe.

"If you have the block universe view, the future and the past are not any different, so there's no reason why you can't have causes from the future just as you have causes from the past," says David Miller of the Centre for Time at the University of Sydney in Australia.

With the advent of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, the relative timing of particles and events became even less relevant. "Real temporal order in general, for quantum mechanics, is not important," says Caslav Brukner, a physicist at the University of Vienna, Austria. By the 1940s, researchers were exploring the possibility of time-reversed phenomena. Richard Feynman lent credibility to the idea by proposing that particles such as positrons, the antimatter equivalent of electrons, are simply normal particles traveling backward in time. Feynman later expanded this idea with his mentor, John Wheeler of Princeton University. Together they worked out a theory of electrodynamics based on waves traveling forward and backward in time. Any proof of reverse causality, however, remained elusive.

The article goes on to talk about the proposed experiment to see if an action can affect something in the past....

Or, you know, it may turn out that it is impossible to alter the past and also impossible to alter the future. Fun....

Even if it is possible to alter the past (which I actually can see), how would we know -- extensive note-leaving?

I'm a complete baby spoiler whore.

Dear time,

Please have an arrow. The lack of one makes my brain hurt.

Love,

Causality.
