The Isolated Blurt Thread V: For Vendetta

[Wings]

What kind of shake?

Wings, last night I dreamed I moved to Minneapolis and was trying to get around on a bicycle, and you kept telling me I was crazy.

You would be crazy trying to navigate these streets on a bicycle!!

Someone else around here had a dream where I was trying to tell him the best way to build a house.

Apparently I'm very bossy in people's subconscious!

LOL.

This time of year, the sun shines in my eyes until about 9 am. I've considered moving to the other side of the desk to spite the sun, but then I wouldn't have the view out in to Johnnyville.

I can't believe we can put a man on the moon but we can't figure out a way to keep the top of the earth from tilting in an inconvenient way.

Oh, for shit's sake.

One of those scenarios involves moving 6,500,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons, Care to guess which?

That reminds me ...

 

[JohnnySavage]

As long as we are considering Planetary Mechanics, I'd consider speeding up the rotation. 24 hours is a bit long for my tastes. An 18 hour day would suit me.

You put too many demands on the universe.

It clearly was not designed for you.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Speeding up the rotation to 18 hours would make a year 456 days.


...or not. I could be getting beyond my intellectual limit.


Universe stuff is very hard.

What the fuck is this bullshit. NO SMOKED CHICKEN IN AMERICA?! Or rather, extremely overpriced smoked chicken in America. That shit is $10 in Supermarkets.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO AUSTRALIA

barbarian lands.

The universe is hard.

There are rules, and sometimes you just want to break your sliderule.

It's just math on math on math.

Physics, when you get down to the small bits, but math, still.

Thank the gods that when the sun comes up it's just a yellow dot the size of a dime in the sky, at whatever time. Because in about a billion years, it's going to exterminate life on this planet.

 

[phantom4533]

I think I'll sleep in that day.

 

[Byron In Exile]

barbarian lands.

I suppose it's somewhat of a miracle that people could even survive there.

One of Nature's mysteries.

well that's a truthful, yet depressing outlook on the future

What kind of shake?

Something called Chocolite. I've got in in 4 "flavors". And calling it a shake is a bit of an overstatement, but I can see how "chalky powder which clumps into powdery balls no matter how vigorously you mix it into water" isn't very catchy. Still, replacing two meals a day 5 days a week with it, and along with the walking and jumping rope it seems to be working. We'll see.

I must be tired because I read that as "considered moving to the other side of the sun" which didn't seem like it would be worth the effort.

No, it's not.

Heavy elements formed through large stars exploding.

Everything you see, feel, and touch was formed in the heart of a star. Because it was only hydrogen to start with, you see? It fused into Helium, then Carbon, Silicon... heavier elements, and then bang. This solar system is the result of a supernova. All the metals... were the result of its fusion process, and when it exploded, it sent all these new elements out into space. That's what we're made of.

How is evolution depressing?

It's so tremendous and magnificent that I run out of words to desribe it. Our sun doesn't have the mass to explode like that. That's life. What can I tell you?

[NHKitty]

I forgot to pack my black satin bra in my gym bag last night.
I'm forced to wear my sports bra under my work shirt.
It's very uncomfortable.
The universe is conspiring against me.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Quince being awesome

 

[Byron In Exile]

[neci]

laurel, at the risk of sounding boring, do you not think the jumping rope and walking might be more responsible for the 1lb loss than a disgusting-sounding gloopy mass? give your teeth some exercise and CHEW!
