Life went mental. But it's pretty much back on track.
I am happy. My daughter is happy. That is all that is important.
I now have blue/aqua hair. For a while I had purple hair. I finally got my arm tattoo finished, now just waiting to have the money to start on my back piece.
It's 3.15am. I should probably be asleep. Tomorrow is going... Read More
So... I've been pretty distant the last 10 days... Life kinda took over!
But, for all that wondered, the staff party was a success, the essay was handed in on-time, and since then I've been no fun at all, just working lots.
My daughter caught another viral infection (don't think she actually fully shook the first one off...) so been having lots of cuddles and... Read More
So... Massive FAIL on the essay writing last night... Instead I had 12hrs of unplanned sleep... Oops!
Dammit! Guess I'll be spending most of the weekend writing.
But not tonight.
For tonight I am going out.
It is Friday, afterall!
Tonight, I party!
We've just hired 11 new people at work, so we're having a "Get-to-know-each-other" night out.
AND! because I am such an awesome... Read More
You get attached to people around here. That's why I'm still stuck here after nearly six years. I've tried to leave in the past but I keep getting sucked back in
Actually, Greaser, Einstein was not an atheist, he was basically an agnostic deist. But his definition of "god" was little more than "the force behind the universe", and he was repeatedly, absolutely clear that he had no belief in a god who would actually interact or interfere with the affairs of people. He was often incensed at how people would (and continue to) twist his words (especially "God does not play dice", which is a physicist's shorthand, not a statement of faith).
That being said, I doubt this conversation ever took place (regardless of who). It has every sign of being contrived (especially with the "it was EINSTEIN" bullshit at the end). ...I also don't actually find it a very convincing set of arguments at all. Among other things, the idea that one must "see" one's brain to know it's there is absurd. There are a large variety of other ways to verify beyond a shadow of a doubt that one has a brain (cat scan?), not to mention that science allows us to deduce its existence without observing a specific brain directly - we know that thoughts are generated in the brain, and there are no observed cases of thoughts and speech existing without a brain; therefore, where we observe those, we can confidently assume the brain is there, without seeing it. It's not impossible that there's no such brain, but science isn't math (otherwise almost nothing in science would be "prooved"), and "vanishingly small possibility of an alternative being true" is quite sufficient proof.
So... As expected... My APLH course was really dull. And I'm not overly confident that I've passed the exam at the end. I'm consoling myself with the fact that I could get a maximum of 12 questions wrong and still pass. So if I've failed, then I've massively fucked up! I'll find out in 7-10 days *fingers crossed*
Then tomorrow I have my gambling certification... Read More
Really must go to bed now. Early start tomorrow on what will be a long and dull day.
Already counting down the hours until I can be back home in my PJs.
Sat at home, on my own, watching crap TV.
No take-away tonight, though!
Contemplating rum... Also contemplating admitting I have a rum addiction... LOL!
I really should go to bed early tonight, especially because I really, really, REALLY want to get up early to watch the Shanghai Grand Prix in the morning... Haven't watched a race live... Read More
Shanghai was great, I hope you caught it. Come discuss in the "Racing" group. It's not just for NASCAR. We typically spoiler anything that would give away the outcome until the Wednesday following a race meeting so that those who record to watch later can enjoy the their ignorance.
happy mothers day to you!
