Intelligent life?

I just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey.
What. The. Heck. ?

Curiosity

I want to know what cats do at night. You know, while they're running around the neighborhood after dark, dodging headlights and hiding under parked cars. Seriously. Is it some kind of Secret Cat Combination? Should I be worried?

For you.... Fifty shekel! Just for you!

Dude, I just got back from ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

It was so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

*If you would like to find out more about Ryan's trip to Israel, ask him about it sometime.

Oh- I also rode a camel.

The Physics Cessation Sensation

Today I took my physics final. My LAST physics final EVER. I feel like I just lost 500 lbs. I feel great! I'm pretty sure I failed that test. I made somewhat-educated guesses on EVERY SINGLE QUESTION. I'll be surprised if I manage to scrape up 5 measly points on the whole test. I have never seen problems like that in my life. I'm pretty sure they were impossible to solve. But you know what? I feel good. I haven't felt like this in ages. It's kinda like that feeling when you take out that big wad of junk you've had in your pocket all day. Or like when you take off wet socks. Yeah, it feels good. And the sky outside the testing building was so incredibly blue! It was amazing! Everything is so much more beautiful now. I feel like I can breathe again... Ok, it wasn't that bad. I did learn a lot... But it sure has been a very long, physics-filled year, and I am very glad that is now over.... Take that to within 10% to 100% WebAssign!

Brazil

Yeah, I'm gonna live there.

Calculus

I love calculus. I thought I should just throw that out there.... What I don't like however, is when you know you are doing your calculus right, but the online computer program with which you have to submit your homework keeps telling you your answer is wrong. I mean, come on people! We all know that the indefinite integral of the acceleration function -9sin(-3t) with respect to time equals -3cos(-3t) + C. And with the given condition that at t=0, the velocity function equals 1, then we should be able to conclude that C = 4, therefore the final correct answer is -3cos(-3t)+4. Am I right?!?!??? Seriously, you do it and see what answer you get because mine obviously isn't working.

Hesitation

Do you ever have those moments when you're all alone, but there are people you don't know all around you, and you really need to do something, but you hesitate because they might think you're nerdy?

Well, I just had one. But then I realized I was in the Physics building, and I didn't care anymore.

My Post-Game Comments:

I like Utah. In fact, I love them. I love everything about them. I love their program, I love their fans, I love everything... I think the whole university, their fans and their organization, is full of class... I respect them, and they deserve it.

The Chase

So the other day as I was riding Trax to school and staring blankly out the window, we were stopped at an intersection when a tall, lurpy man came into view. He ran across the street into the parking lot next to us. Well, he wasn't really running... it was more of a jog. He had long slow strides, was wearing a black hoody over his head, and was carrying what looked strangely like a purse in his left arm... kind of like a football. My first thought was, "Dude! That guy just stole somebody's purse!" But that theory quickly died because he wasn't hardly running at all. It was like he was in slow motion.... But then, another man came into view. A shorter, chubbier man who looked like he was wearing clothes indicative of a police officer or security guard. He was also running.... or at least trying to. His velocity was much slower than that of the first man, but he looked like he was pushing hard. He even grabbed what looked like a radio on his chest and spoke into it as he trudged along.....clearly calling for back up.... So I was right the first time! This was a highway purse robbery! That guy really did steal somebody's purse, and he really was jogging to get away from the authorities- JOGGING because well, that's all he needed to do. He just sort of looked like he was merely taking a leisurely prance through the parking lot, and not like he was a criminal on the run.

It was kinda funny.

At least I thought so.

But then again, I guess it wasn't really all that funny for whoever the victim was... or the officer.... I hope the culprit was apprehended in the end.

But I hope we can all learn a lesson from this one.... For all you thieves out there:
You can jog, but you can't hide.

Are you serious!?

So KJZZ is no longer showing any regular season Jazz games. What the heck? This makes me really, really mad.

Well now they can't be called KJZZ anymore. That would just be stupid. They should change their name to NOJZZ. I mean, why keep the name KJZZ if they don't even show any JAZZ GAMES ANYMORE!??!???!!!!??!!!!!

I'm just a little annoyed.

That's all.
