And one day done.

One day back, and I was already trying to fall asleep in class. I swear, I need something to keep my alert - maybe I should start bringing caffeine or something to distract me - or maybe I need to just take a nap before class or something. This is getting annoying. I want to stay awake in class, but there’s something about three-hour classes, even with hour breaks that frags my ability to stay awake. Maybe it’s this particular professor, maybe it’s the lecture format... if actively engaged, I do better in terms of trying to stay awake. But for some reason, in the standard lecture format, I’m just nodding off occasionally. Is there something I can do to fix this? (It really started to set in the later years of my undergraduate. I swear I get enough sleep at night, really.)

This picture’s worth a thousand laughs: Maritza wins the cinema meme, and with it the internets.

Just for you, uncle_pervy, I give you, another cuntentacle monster, given to lordmork. If you ask nicely, maybe I can persuade the person who made it to make another for you. Maybe. It was a one-shot, most likely, though. Still, thought you would enjoy.

Also, the Edge Annual Question for the year - What’s your dangerous idea? See what’s already there - definitely lots of food for thought from many different people and perspectives. So what’s your dangerous idea? Mine appears to be the idea that the sum is stranger than the whole of its parts.

One last bit - if the laws of the universe turn out to be radically different than our current understanding, then hyperdrive may be in our future. But it’s still only a hypothesis at this stage, which is dependent on the underlying hypotheses being provable or at least workably true.

More stuff tomorrow.
