ah, yeah, this is just an interim theme, whilst I prepare my next one.  I wanted to change over completely today, however i am rarely prepared. 

so, the biggest news – I am finished university (knock on wood) as of 1145 yesterday morning.  and yes, I was drunk 3 hours later.  Im not going to get into the thinking behind that right here right now.  maybe if you read my 43things list you might get the run down.

so anyway, big changes here, because I have big changes in my life.  We worked it out, I have been a university student longer than i was a high school students, so of course I think that this is a big thing.

and I cant think because dad is playing XXX in the background here very very very very very very loud.  grrrrr.

um, apart from that, I’ve been reading ‘A short history of everything’ by Bill Bryson.  Its a very entertaining book, and really, even as a person who has devoted a good part of the last 6 years studying physics, Im finding out a lot of stuff i didn’t know.  Here are a few things I wanted to share with you –

• ‘white dielectric material’ is more commonly known as bird shit
  
• The term supernovae was termed by Fritz Zwicky, who actually wasn’t all that smart and a bit of an arse.  But had some good insights.
  
• Zwicky was also said to be ‘not understanding the laws of physics well enough to be able to substantiate his ideas’ – this is the aim of my professional life!
  
• The laws of thermodynamics can be expressed as such – ‘1.  you cant win, 2. you cant break even, 3. you cant get out of the game.’
