Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am sort of craving salad, so that is good!

My boss just took one look at me and asked if I wanted to go home. I am going to wait awhile and then maybe do so. She said I look like a ghost I am so white.

Sophia, oof. Upset tummy is the worst.

Still can't breathe. Should make today entertaining.

Parenthood and Glee are both on the DVR. There are days when I feel like my acadeca team is TOTALLY (totes!) a Glee knockoff. I have most of the really nice kids. I have a girl who is a diva bitch and not worth having on the team, except she is smart and good at this (though I have kicked her off), I have a kid in a wheelchair.

That was, though, last year's team. This year's team will be a little asperbergery instead. With more kids.

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

Also, string theory is right out.

It's not out yet. LHC might knock it out or breathe in new life though it can't provide any really compelling evidence for it, the energy levels are too low for that. String theory really isn't a competitor for general relativity, it just reconciles GR with quantum mechanics. General relativity breaks down at a quantum level like you'd have at the time of the big bang or in a black hole. Something is still missing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, is my job annoying right now. Luckily, for the moment I can focus on Rhianna on my TV.

The problem is that we know that General Relativity is correct, it has been shown in observations to be correct to six decimal places.

However, we also know that Quantum Electrodynamics is correct, it has been shown in experiments to be correct to ten or eleven decimal places.

And the two theories are incompatible with each other. They both can't be right.

I should also note that Brian Greene likes carrots.

This makes me think of the use of "quants" in the field of financial analysis, which is one reason the economy is in the tank.

Yep, which is why everything breaks down in black holes and the big bang, you need both to explain it.
