physics was very enlightening today... we learned how to open a door!!!! (i'm serious.) you see, we were learning about torque and that if you want to open a door with the smallest amount of force (always a good thing) then you have to push the door PERPENDICULAR to the door as far away from the rotational point as possible so as to get the most TORQUE! it was just like sesame street.. today's physics class is brought to you by the greek letter tau (which is the symbol for torque hence the reason today's lecture was sponsered by tau.)

it's a good thing there are only three more days of classes, because the stupid fat masturbating man (SFMM) has decided that he simply must sit where melissa and i always sit. so we had to move today because i was definitely not going to sit anywhere within a 12 4/9 foot radius of him. yuck. and i have also decided that SFMM is not a good acronym for him. from now on, he shall be known as the SPAM man (Stupid Pudgy (although he is definitely more fat than pudgy) Always Masturbating man). yes, i think that will do nicely.

i invented a liscence plate game. i'm sure it already exists somewhere, but for me, i invented it. (when i was younger i thought i had made up the tune Scotland the Brave, because i was always humming it, but could never remember hearing it anywhere. quite interesting.) anyway, so my game goes, you look at the letters on the liscence plate and you have to come up with a word that uses all three letters and if you can even get them in the right order, all the better. and if you get it so that the first letter of the three is the first letter of your word, and the last letter is the last letter of your word, then you get bonus points. i'm actually quite good at it. although it's easier to come up with german words for liscence plates that have z's in them. there aren't too many english words with z's whereas german is just chock full of them. for example: Herzeleid, which means sorrow (or litterally, heart sorrow. herz is heart, leid is sorrow or grief.. you get the point. germans and their compound nouns. hoooooooboy! such as... der Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitän, which means "the captain of the steamship which is journeying down the Danube" crazy. or according to the online translator, it means, Danube steam-ship navigation captain. so i'm not entirely sure which one is right. probably i'm closer because all of those online translators are a wee bit dodgy.

finals are coming up veeeeeery soon, and i have but one word to say to all of that.... GAK!
