THIS IS NOT GOOD!

Wow, she has really big brains

Damn you faulty technology! My jeep's window regulator is busted and I'm currently stationed in their waiting room taking advantage of the free wi-fi. I suppose that's a catch-22 because having Internet access is glorious. This is a perfect opportunity to catch up on my BBC, Times, and of course, the Charlie Sheen saga. Sheesh, usually sitting in waiting rooms makes my tiger blood boil, but not today.

Since a smarty-pants like Natalie Portman won the Oscar for best actress last Sunday, the New York Times science portion came out with this article detailing the secret lives of a couple Hollywood brainy types. A worthy, quick read if you've got nothing better to do or want to push off some studying!

Do you know what sucks? Making mindless mistakes on quizzes because you second guess yourself. I need to stop obsessing about things I cannot change. Christians say that one prayer (aptly named the serenity prayer):


God grant me the serenity 
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah, so basically I'm 6/7th atheist BUT my brain needs to gain some wisdom and tell itself to shut the fuck up sometimes. There's an easy solution, try harder (and ignore the students in class who ask questions the book can clarify). Writing this has made me feel better.
