I don't know anything about physics...

...but at really highly competitive, close competitions, do you think those really fluffy shelties would be faster without all their hair, or does all that hair help them become a more-aerodynamic bullet-like shape?

In any case, summer break is here. I used to absolutely love summer but over the years I've started enjoying it less and less. Last summer was probably the worst, although I can attribute a lot of that to my summer-long mysterious illness. The biggest thing is that I like to be busy all day every day. I'm not good at relaxing. There are probably a lot of factors that contribute to my summertime blues, even thought there are even more reasons to enjoy the summer.



I am recognizing the fact that remaining mentally happy and healthy takes active and continued work on my part. I'm not sure how common this is, and I suppose it doesn't really matter, but it's just something I need to be conscious of all the time. And it is something that is easy to forget. I have to remember that filling all my days with as much stuff as possible is not exactly a solution anyway. It's a good life, I don't want to waste it feeling bad.

Hey you should read this book called Galapagos I just finished reading. Or maybe you already have, or maybe you shouldn't because it just made me think more about pointlessness of everything and how all the striving and rushing is of no point. Soo.... yeahhhh no help at all except to tell you I just read a book that was brilliant and hilarious and probably not good for me ;)

Kurt Vonnegut? I've read a few of his books, brilliant. I would probably like it. Nihilism is often quite attractive to me.

Yup that's him. It feels like putting on a old jumper, almost too comfortable ;)
