Note to stalkers : If you're going to bother data mining my entries to find out where I live, at least have the decency to send me a postcard.

I understand people when they say that science has taken a lot of the magic and mystery out of the world, I've felt that way for a long time. But I think that for what we might have lost, we gained so much more mystery and splendour. Who would have imagined that the Universe is based on four forces and half a dozen constants and yet gives us the intricacy and grandeur that surrounds us. From the tiniest sub atomic particle to the greatest galactic super-clusters, there's so much to be in awe of…

I wonder if I should do a theme for entry 666?

Well, I'm definitely on the mend, the weekend was rather icky, but now at least I feel ok even if I'm still coughing and sniffily. It's been quiet as always, work and home, work and home and little else. There is one thing, my friend Tiffany. She's cool and I like her a lot, but so far in the few weeks I've known her, we really have only talked in a sort of superficial fashion, about stuff which doesn't really matter. I want to be able to talk on a deeper level with her, because I think maybe she needs it as do I. She comes from a tiny rural town in Montana and given the environment, she's only out to very few people at University. It's not that I am pitying her, I just think it sucks that she had to grow up in such a place and could do something her help her break free of those shackles.
