05/10/09 Massive Catch Up On Everything

I return! Somewhat alive. I haven’t been posting lately because finals have been dragging me down. I took what is (in grad school at least) a really heavy load and I got bitten hard by that last week. I had so much to do.  I had to grade papers for the advanced lab, I had to get two general relativity homework assignments done, I had to get a general relativity final done, and I had to get the statistical thermodynamics final done. That last one was especially rough, I spent almost 30 hours on it. YUCK.

Anyways rather than trying to post a bunch of back dated articles, I will simply summarize the results here.

As you can see Friday and Saturday I did not do a very good job of sticking to the diet. Friday I can at least blame on going out with some friends to see the new star trek movie and we hit a restaurant on the way there. For Saturday I don’t really have any excuses. Oh well.

As for the Star Trek movie, it was pretty good, I have a few complaints: First, the antagonist was very one dimensional. His sole purpose was to be someone for Kirk to fight against. I would have liked a bit more than that. Second, Kirk rose through the ranks way the hell to fast, he starts out as a cadet, accused of cheating on something, in a place where he really shouldn’t be, and ends up first officer in just a few minutes. By half way through the movie he is captain. The heck??? My third complaint is just a physics complaint, I can theoretically bend space to do the warp drive thing, etc; but, the “red matter” that they use in the show, it is comprised of pure plot device. But over all it was a pretty good summer scifi movie, sure I had a few complaints; but, I will buy it once it is on DVD.
