The Events of My Day: Monday, November the Twenty Eighth, Two Thousand and Five

I'm really sorry, but I succeeded in making myself pretty sick at the gym, so I'm gonna go straight to bed. I'll be sure to have an extra interesting day tomorrow to make up for today.

The Events of My Day: Sunday, November the Twenty Seventh, Two Thousand and Five

  • Woke at my father's prompting, took a shower, and went back to sleep*.
  • Woke at my father's wild berating, threw on some cloths, and left for the airport.
  • I ordered a #4 ($3.96) from the terminal Burger King when I meant to order a number #3 ($4.96). Half-way through the French toast sticks, I imagined that I was actually eating the omelet sandwich I had desired. I then gloated to the Burger King corporation for getting what I really wanted at a dollar bellow the advertised price. I was not well slept.
  • The flight was a haze of half-conscious attempts to adjust the erection in my pants.
  • Finished my book on the Super Shuttle and formulated today's closing tidbit.
  • Unpacked.
  • Scared my roommate.
  • Ran to the gym, which was closed! (grrrr)
  • Showered.
  • Did some alone-work on my scene.
  • Got to bed early. Huzzah!
* I have no memory of these events.

A Proof That Virtual Objects Cannot Be Real
I know this proof to be incomplete because it lacks definitions for virtual and real objects. I omit them in the interest of brevity and trust that you, dear reader, share my same intuitive definition of the terms.

According to quantum theory, the physical attributes (mass, position, velocity, etc.) of real objects must first be observed in order to be calculated. By contrast, the physical attributes of virtual objects must first be calculated in order for them to be observed. Due to the necessary limitations on observation time (the speed of light) and calculation time (depending on the means of calculation, the speed of light, the speed of electrons through a given medium, the speed of pencil across paper), the observation and calculation can never occur simultaneously, thus rendering irrelevant the order in which the two occur. Consequently, it is a physical impossibility for virtual objects to be real.

    There is an observation I am eager to make, but I fear it will be several years before I have the chance.

    I had a lovely day. Nothing makes you feel good about yourself like studio teacher evaluations. Caught some Zs in the interim, chatted with some friends, and did a wonderful scene. If only I hadn't stayed up so late on the computer...

    No son of mine will be circumcised, if I have my way.

    The particulars of culture stem from the arbitrary idiosyncrasies of anatomy.

    • Rehearsed, as I have for the past two days, and as I will tomorrow, until three in the morning. The fucking morning.
    I realize how much of my vision is obscured by hair.
