Whew! We made it. I think that might be the sentiment on Fridays for the next few weeks. It is Friday and that means my new article is up on the City Wire. If you would like to read it, click here: Fried Fish. If you would not like to read the article, click here: Fish Fry.

Oh, and there’s a new XKCD.

Speaking of science, Physics is awesome, but brutal when done as a 4 week course. I will be spending part of my weekend, the part not spent eating cookies and watching Deathly Hallows Part 1, at the dry erase board learning how to do Physics. I am quickly getting used to phrases like:

“A person standing on a cliff throws a ball up into the air. It is 80m from the top to the base of the cliff. It the initial velocity of the ball is 14m/s, and we disregard air resistance, how high up did the ball fly into the air before falling to the bottom of the cliff? How fast was the ball going just before it hit the ground? How do we know that this person is very handsome?”*

It is amazing what people can get used to. One thing that I don’t plan on getting used to is working in the attic of the new house. I got out there to lay flooring yesterday around 11am and it was already in the upper 90s and climbing fast. I went and got two box fans and they didn’t do too much to help with the heat, but that breeze that they made was much appreciated. It was so hot up there that we would lay 2 rows and then were forced to take a break. It was so hot and humid that it just stole your breath. The air was too thick to breath. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we got it finished. Hooray! I’ve got to take some photos of it to send to Le Duke, so I’ll put them up here as well.

This weekend, if I can find something for Operation B to do, I’ll have the house to myself. Just me, a shitload of cookies, a Physics book, and Harry Potter. Nerdicus Totalus! What are gonna do? Why do I have the house to myself? Because Pancake Land’s summer boyfriend is stealing her away for the weekend. Yes, she has her kayak back. You see, tomorrow is Little Miss Cotton’s birthday and in celebration of this a bunch of people are going floating/camping all weekend. Not me, though. I’ve got stuff to do. Mainly Physics, but other stuff as well.

Today is the long postponed move of the presses from Underground Ink to Ars Brevis. I’ll be doing that most of the day and whatever else K has got for me. Then off to Lippincottonia to pay bills.

As one last nugget of fun times for you on this wonderful Friday morning, there’s a new My Drunk Kitchen! Enjoy:

More soon. ~SC

* (Done without a calculator, so these are rough estimates.) The ball flies upwards roughly 22m, is going 44.7m/s, and we know the person is handsome simply because unattractive people never do anything in Physics problems.
