The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sorry, Burrell. What they all said about fucking cancer.

Try to get some sleep.

Well, if you suddenly see a post with my name on it containing "ljiiiiiiiid;fsdliepw,akewlkd" you'll know I fell asleep on my keyboard.

Um, but not this post. There are sense-making letters all around the "ljiiiiiiiid;fsdliepw,akewlkd" stuff.

Burrell, I'm so sorry to hear you got bad news about someone you care about. I wish you and your loved one the best possible outcome, whatever that may be.

Nilly! I'm sorry you're working so late, but it is nice to "see" you.

Kristin!

I'll hopefully catch up on my sleep on shabbat. No rest for the belated-in-their-deadline, or something.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thanks for the heads-up. I would've assumed you'd gotten a cat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For physics geeks: A New Take on Warping Spacetime

As in warp drive. As in faster-than-light travel. The article discusses a recent paper on how it might (in theory) be possible. It involves messing around with higher dimensions....

eta:

How fast might a warp-driven spacecraft go? Obousy and Cleaver work out an upper limit on such a velocity (based upon quantum field theory) of 10^32 c, c being the speed of light. Mind boggling to be sure, but tempered by the fact that the energy required for such a velocity is significantly greater than that available in the observable universe. Another of those ’small problems of engineering,’ as Robert Forward used to call them…

Stop being so hard on my Nilly! Isn't rest from the everyday routine the whole point of shabbat?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm sorry, Burrell.

Dinner was grilled salmon (with lemon slices), grilled zucchini(with a bit of olive oil and Mrs. Dash) and grilled corn on the cob (coated with butter, cinnamon and brown sugar).

They won't let us have pets inside the university buildings, and one of my roommates is allergic, so I can't have any at home either. It'll have to be my head.

Isn't rest from the everyday routine the whole point of shabbat?

Oh, of course! So *until* then I'll have to cram as much stuff-I-have-a-deadline-for-and-I'm-way-too-behind-on as possible.
