aura
This is the second time a woman has stopped me in the street and said I have a ‘very strong aura’. I think it’s because I actively scowl on the street when I get troubled.

Talking to a physics PhD
Colin: i bet you didn't know this. so we all know that the exclamation point after a number has a specific meaning: factorial. it turns out that two exclamation points has a different, albeit related meaning
and in general the number of exclamation points has a definition
Colin: for example 6! is 6*5*4*3*2*1
6!! is 6*4*2
6!!! is 6*3
so bizarrely enough more exclamation points means smaller value
Colin: so this just goes to show mathematically how more exclamation points just devalues your excitement
Colin: i just explained this proof to my german post-doc
and he said to truly amplify your excitement you should write (((6)!)!)!
which is absolutely right
i bet you are glad you know someone like me
me: can i post this all to my blog?
Colin: i demand it
Bell Jar kind of day
“I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next day had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue.”
“Sometimes, there are beef shish kebabs (tough but tasty); other times, there are...”
