physics is dumb anyway
So last month I lost fifteen pounds on a diet. Then I went to the US for the weekend, and upon my return I had put on FOUR POUNDS. How is that even possible? That would have to be 6000 calories a day, which even if I was eating like This Is Why You’re Fat (which I wasn’t) would be really difficult to achieve without, you know, dying or throwing up or something. Anyway, clearly my body is making up its own energy conservation theories as it goes along — obey the laws of thermodynamics, dammit!
The hot new social media news is that some celebrities are not actually writing their own Twitters. Shock shock! Celebrities have people to interact with with their fans for them! Although I gotta say if Ashton Kutcher can come up with 140 characters on a regular basis, Britney really has no excuse… y’all.
South Korean school children singing a happy song about Netiquette. This made me smile.

Travel definitely violates the laws of physics (okay, I just admitted to one of my English classes that I don’t actually know what physics is, but it sounds good to me). And losing eleven pounds is good!

I agree, Martha: I don’t entirely understand physics, but I’m lead to believe that it has some relevance to us not drifting off into space, so in theory I’m all for it.
