Apparently, according to the movie "Manufactured Landscapes," the filling of the Three Gorges Dam in China has caused a wobble in the Earth's rotation.
According to this post, when the Dam is filled, the time of the Earth's rotation will be changed such that an amature astronomer will be able to measure it.
That is a lot of water.
Mankind is fucking crazy.
I just finished reading The Wind-up Bird Chronicles which was absolutely amazing. I get into this mode where I want to only read about "real" things and I avoid fiction. But every once in a while I get given a great book that draws me in. I couldn't put it down. I love fiction. I also assume that I love wells. And crazy out of body experiences.
Thanks exams. You have ressurected the blog.

finished! great. i'm so glad the cat came back...
a good balance of fiction and non-fiction is important. in one's literary choices, in one's life in general.
no?
p.s.
joanna newsom! tonight! eeeee.
today a woman who employs me called and said "it sounds like you have children over."
"no", said i, "that's music".
ha. oh dear.
Oh joanna.
I actually kinda wanted to go, because of the fact that I didn't really get to appreciate the last time due to agonizing heat and because she is an adorable pixie that I don't quite understand.
and, if it wasn't abundantly clear, I heart understanding.
