It’s friday, and the clock says 20th November 2009. I suppose we have trickled past midnight, just so. barely so. and then it ticks further and further, an irreversible hourglass dripping with finitely small grains of sands.

to those who were [...]
something unrelated to where i am now (even though there are links). actually prompted by zeráfiel on the meaninglessness of life.
it reminded me of Camus, and his idea that one of the critical points in life is when you actually decide whether to commit suicide or not. or perhaps, when you find that life is [...]
hm lunchtalk with jax over the physical properties of cappuccino foam. im surprised that it should be due to proteins. i did not imagine that proteins would be denatured so easily, or that they would be of sufficient size to maintain the little bubbles. but i guess it consistency and persistency of the foam does [...]
If you were in a room made of 5 concrete sides and 1 glass side, would you rather the glass side to be the ceiling, the ground, or the wall?
