And what did you do today?

Sooooo, university eh? What do you do? I get there late, decide this lecture is boring, I’ll get lunch! Get lunch, my nice fried rice and vegetables;) Oh yeah, I’m trying not to eat as much meat as I used to. Then, well, let’s skip the next lecture, that will be boring, I already know it all. Then… ah, that is all;) Tomorrow though, I do have things I must should attend. Which I will, of course. Yes. Have you ever wondered why you don’t need to drink while you sleep… well, to prevent dehydration in the long sleep period, it seems vasopressin release is increased – vasopressin is a antidiuretic hormone which promotes water reabsorption by the kidney. Hmmm, and the release of vasopressin is trigged by electrical activity of magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. Can’t be bothered going deeper into it. Can’t be bothered trying to understand it more. Yes, I am lazy. I think it is time for my berries and yoghurt.

Oh, more info on sleep dehydration blah blah blah - http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nn.2503.html

I need more music! Franky and his friends are getting boring.

Where is that mouse?

I often wonder, why do we primitive humans bother doing a thing? Like thinking? What a waste of time. Stuck in our own little minds. Eh… So, let us explore that string theory. Or… M-theory as ‘they’ like to call it now. I prefer string theory. The theory… isn’t it more of a hypothesis. Yes, it is. Anyway, predicts 11 dimensions. And these strings… vibrating strands of energy that make up… well, are they fundamental particles? Not sure. Yeah, think so…   Then your have your membranes, blah blah blah. Too much to understand. Gravitons slipping into other dimensions. Gravitons being elementary particles that… create gravity. Hmmm, parallel dimensions… other universes. Sure, very possible. Could explain why people see ghosts… spirits… They just slip through from other dimensions. We are all made up of the same stuff… maybe strings, quarks which make up electrons, protons, neutrons among other things… they make up different atoms, which make up different compounds… Our genome determines what species we are, what we look like etc… but we are all really the same. Even our brains… sure there are differences, in connections, and whatnot, but they are basically the same. Maybe we have a soul?? That is… who we are. Does that soul live outside us, or in us and dies when our bodies die… which, they only do because different genes switch on to start the ageing process. Or does our soul live on, sliding into another dimension. When people meditate or are in a coma their brain activity is different, it reaches different frequencies. Maybe when people say they speak to spirits in that state of mind, they are in those other dimensions… their… mind/soul. Hmmm, strange.

M-theory attempts to combine gravity with EM and the strong and weak nuclear force… if anyone was wondering. General relativity, and the quantum world.

I say, enough thinking and more eating. Bananas. Bananas are good. Lots of potassium. K+. Could our universe be entangled with another? Seems to be some strange forces at work, making a few hundred… in fact, around 1400 galaxy cluster moving at… well, the best estimate is 1000km/s towards a particular point in the universe… And we humans, we are so small and seemingly insignificant. What really is our purpose? Does it matter? Well, to me it does. Troubles my poor little mind. But then… I try not to think too much about it. Then then then, I will go to New york, new yoooork. Yes. Frank Sinatra. He is here with me now, in fact. From some other dimension. Singing in my ear… oh, wait. Now we are running to the hills. Away from an invasion fleet of green zombies.

Yes, the tide is out further than normal. That is the day that earthquake hit Chile. Mister water ran away.

Microsoft Live Writer

Appears to be a useful program. In other news, the sky is blue and the grass is yellow. And I am thoroughly confused. Time for pizza methinks.
