The Last Six Months

If you hang out around physicists long enough, you eventually hear the theory that time is not linear...in other words, time can speed up or slow down depending on other factors. I don't really believe that theory (or most scientific theories), because physicists have beady eyes, greasy hair, and a proven track record of lying to the public. When was the last time you tripped over some dark matter, or fell into a black hole, or saw any real evidence of gravity? Exactly. It's all smoke and mirrors. But after the last six months I'm starting to believe this theory about time. It seems like June was just yesterday, when I was happily updataing my blog and complaining about the weather being too nice. Now suddenly it's November, the weather has changed to that awesome mix of cold rain and wind that Bostonians love so much, and the Oilers are well into what promises to be an embarassing season of losing to everyone and their backup goalies.

I guess a lot has happened in the past six months. I got married, the Red Sox won the World Series (with zero riot-related fatalities this time), I found out what it's like to work 85 hours a week (it's awesome), Karl Rove resigned, Scott and Jen had the CUTEST BABY EVER, and the world did not sink beneath the oceans while sharks devoured us all. Yet. Now I can only hope that the next twelve months go as fast as the last six...if everything goes according to plan, I'll be finishing my life as a student / feudalistic serf and re-entering the real world as a corporate sellout by next December. There HAS to be a huge job market for people who make lasers and know stuff about cancer but aren't sure what "remittance" or "due diligence" or "net present value" mean.

Well, that's about it for now. (*** start standard empty promise made by all amateur bloggers that is never, ever kept ***) Hopefully I'll have time to update more regularly now that work has calmed down a little bit. (*** end standard empty promise made by all amateur bloggers that is never, ever kept ***)

PS: The global economy will soon implode as every American house is repossessed by the banks and sold to China in exchange for lead-covered childrens' toys. TOXIC MOULD.
