Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have a second interview at 11:30 this morning. Wish me hireability.

Go Scrappy! Is this for the porn-o-rama?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck! Burn, Scrappy, burn -- Scrappy inferno!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go, Scrappy!Hireability ho!

hip deep in pie

So what was billed in the appointment for this afternoon as an end of year staff meeting is actually a one on one meeting with my director. My coworker and I only figured this out when we started arguing about the start time for the "staff meeting" and checked out individual appointments. Clearly communication is something I should bring up as an issue.

I am feeling a little bit blindsided.

It's for a large real estate company which I actually really liked on my first interview. My first choice is Sony--I go in there on Monday.

Good luck, Scrappy! And yikes, Sue, I hope it turns out to be nothing.

Chinese physicists measure speed of Einstein’s ‘spooky action at a distance’: At least 10,000 times faster than light | ExtremeTech

Nothing is faster than the speed of light. Except now we know quantum entanglement trumps that. Wow.

A team of Chinese physicists have clocked the speed of spooky action at a distance — the seemingly instantaneous interaction between entangled quantum particles — at more than four orders of magnitude faster than light. Their equipment and methodology doesn’t allow for an exact speed, but four orders of magnitude puts the figure at around 3 trillion meters per second.

Spooky action at a distance was a term coined by Einstein to describe how entangled quantum particles seem to interact with each other instantaneously, over any distance, breaking the speed of light and thus relativity. As of our current understanding of quantum mechanics, though, it is impossible to send data using quantum entanglement, preserving the theory of relativity. A lot of work is being done in this area, though, and some physicists believe that faster-than-light communication might be possible with some clever manipulation of entangled particles.
