i'm going to toss my porcupine any minute now

i accidentally conducted a psychological experiment on the plane from phoenix to san francisco last night.

starting at my pop physics book about string theory, to sudoku, to travel magazine articles,

to successively easier word puzzles,

my ability to process information and recognize patterns was, i would guess, 12% normal

i'm kind of fascinated that i could be that stressed/exhausted and yet unable to sleep.

can i just say, i'm happy to be home, and the best part is coming an hour and a half from now!

not one of my best days

though honestly i've been planning on wasting this half weekend for about a month

and i'm just sick enough to have pulled it off

don't look too close or you'll see the transistors

if it's true that at our most basic level we're made up of tiny vibrating strings of energy

is there really any better argument that the universe as we know it is running on someone's computer somewhere?

you shouldn't hurt the ones you love... unless you really want to

that i let non-essential friendships die is, i think, the worst thing about me

and the best is peanut butter and banana sandwiches. at least today
