I'm watching a horrible horror movie. The "heroine" is so obnoxious, you can't help wanting her dead.
 
Cars going by. My fan.

Ditto, but at least our house's are cool.

Right now, I'm listening to popcorn popping in the microwave.

A very weird whooshing, warp-like sound eminating from the wall of a physics computer lab. As I put my ear against the off white for a better listen, I can only think of an odd waterpipe flow, a strange refrigerator cycle, or the psychology floor above teamed up with a physics student and med partner and made a Frankenstein, which would have to have many tubes gushing with vastly unknown substances, giving breath to a tundra landscape in his rest or in the least his body otherwise without. If this is the case, his treatment is better than what late night physics-lab thinking does to one.

Any Muse fans out there?
Muse Live Lounge Special - 6 songs, excellent audio.

I love Alan Watts, he is so incredibly profound and inspiring this is the reason I am on this forum and pursuing a career in physics. I'm only in grade 11 but I am constantly challenging myself learning things that are way above my head to expand my mind, this is one of the many great things in life.. expanding the mind :)
