So I've been a physics major for four years now, and I think this quarter I'm finally going to pass intro physics! It's pretty damn exciting. I'm getting good grades, and best of all, things are starting to make sense.
The other day I heard a jet overhead and looked up, but it wasn't there. The sound was lagging behind the jet. So I thought about it, and here's why. The sound is coming from the engines, right? Well, the engines are shooting the sound out the back, behind the plane. That's why it sounds like the plane is behind where it appears.
Now since smaller planes have the blades on the front, the sound gets pushed out in front of them. So it sounds like they're further ahead of where they are.
I'm learning science. It's really cool to be able to explain the world around me.

Crap
So yesterday i just finished taking this huge dump, myself, and I was headed back to my lab when I passed someone walking real funny in the opposite direction. He was walking like he crapped his pants. And just as he was passing me something 'plopped' onto the ground beside me.
I stopped and turned. Starting there, a line of dots was being laid down from his pant leg. What was it? I stuck my finger in it to get a little to examine. Smelled like poop, and tasted like poop. I looked back and saw the guy going into the bathroom.
So I wiped my finger off on my jeans, grabbed a drink from the drinking fountain, then went back to my lab where I laughed my ass off and ate leftover pizza.

Days
You have your good days, and you have your bad days... but that's you. I only have one type of day, and it's the type of day where I wait around for someone to ask me for a knuckle sandwich.

Even I Make Mistakes (sometimes)
I ran over my toe with my chair. Seriously, it was a bad idea. You know, I looked at my toe there, then I looked at my chair, and then I looked at my toe again. Would this feel good, running over my toe, I wondered. Then I convinced myself it would feel very good. When I did it, however, it did not feel very good.

All My Friends Live Underground
OH fucking god. I was wondering when Choad Machine experience was going to release a new album, and the time has come: This September. Seeing as how I'm on the mailing list (and one of the top posters in their forums) I have been blessed with hearing the title song from their new album. The song's called Cold Lovin'.
It starts out as this ballad, but then it gets fucking sweet. Sleg Hopkins can wail like no other, and when Stein and Sir Dorfington are backing him up, I dare any man not to cry. Oh god, it's beautiful. I cannot wait.
