Before an exam.

Just before an exam, I tend to go slightly bonkers. In that spirit, my recent activities include:
1. downloading a picture of a giant Schrodinger's cat inside a glass box.
2. watching a horror flick: Deathwatch, which i found rather enjoyable in a very creepy way.
3. Taking hundreds of pictures at Holland, Michigan. That place has an annual Tulip festival, which is very pretty. A lot of cultural fiesta like things follow, complete with wooden shoes!! Lake Michigan is bloody cold this time of the year.
4. watching 'who killed the electric car'. I am fully convinced that the big automakers are involved in a giant conspiracy along with the oil companies to prevent the advent of other technologies in the marketplace.
5. starting to read 'the great hunt'. this is volume 2 of Robert Jordan's 'the wheel of time', which, as we all know deals with the breaking of the world, the rise of the dragon, and other such calamities. very much classic fantasy fiction. the only problem is that there are 11 volumes on the main storyline and one prequel. robert jordan has stated that the 12th (well, actually 13th) volume will conclude the 'main storyline'. why does he not suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome? aleya lent me the first volume a few years ago.
6. spending an unnecessary amount of time reading about Yamato, the greatesrt battleship ever built.
7. watching snakes on a plane. this is a surprisingly good trashy film. (let me explain: i expected it to be really trashy, turns out to be all of that, but quite watchable). i waited for that line, 'I have had it with these ****** snakes on this ****** plane!' did not let me down even a bit.
