- In the last 200, I've probably pissed off 40% of the contents of the house by dropping heavy things great distances at 4AM. I hope they don't repay the favour.
- In the last 2,000, Osama Bin Laden is announced dead. Convenient that the announcement came around re-election time...
- In the last 20,000, I've written a good few hundred lines of code. Not much, but enough to not feel like an utter procrastinator either.
- In the last 200,000, I've watched Thor, but that's already been covered by Benji about ten times better than I ever could over here. I also finished a damn good book (more to follow).
And looking forward:
- In the next 200, I'll probably spend 100 of them staring at the screen proof-reading and feeling desperately inadequate, and guilty for not revising.
- In the next 2,000, I might even get some sleep.
- In the next 200,000 I need to do about 9 maths papers, give or take.
- In the next 2,000,000 we will begin sitting our exams, quite potentially altering our university options and deciding entire career paths.
- For the purposes of not going down a much darker, existential path, I'll gloss over the fact that 3 lines more is a lifespan, maybe 4 at maximum is everything we know of and can care about, and about 1.5 beyond that is the start of recorded history.
On a lighter note, I appear to have officially taken up reading again (having read 5 books in about 2-3 weeks). Yesterday, I read "Will Grayson, Will Grayson", a stunning collaboration between John Green (of whom I'm a massive fan) and David Levithan.
It's all sparkly and pretty in real life. |
The book is an engaging read from start to finish, featuring a clever plot, genuine characters and relationships who change believably as the plot progresses. I personally loved its pace and twists, and pretty much everything about it. It isn't perfect by any stretch (what book is?), but it's definitely well worth picking up a copy and spending a few hours on, as is any John Green book (he's also a YouTuber, which is how I discovered his books - see here for more information).
Want to pick up a copy? If you know me, I'll lend you my copy, or pick one up from Amazon:
Forfeit vlog (would have been today except for an annoyance with the microphone) and 3D printer progress to follow in due time...
That is the reason why logarithmic scales could be considered depressing...

Awesome idea for a post! Also we get to slap Jamie AGAIN :D

ReplyDeletesurely the reason scales are depressing is because you have just spent 40 minutes bored to death on a c2 paper and you have to plot one
