I have knowledge to spare, and a pyramid to live by.
Fatma finally brought this from Aramax!
Oddly enough, it’s practically the only Stephen King book that I so-enthusiastically attempted to buy or get, for I simply believe that King has actual talent.
*And good luck on your last midterm test tomorrow.
Mind my drunkin’ self but a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, helps the medicine go down, helps the medicine go down.
It would be quite interesting if things were to be viewed as such.
"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."
I need to renew my medical awareness pinpoint. With plenty of other reasons to pay the hospital a visit.
I already had my share of Vitamin D in-takes from quite some time, which means I need to follow up. Also, I haven’t reviewed the rest of my blood-test results, the ones that mattered were fine, but the rest even if they matter less, have to once and for all be presented to me. I’m also a bit speculative, that I might have to do another blood-test, which is fine, in fact it would be quite an experience to start off with my mid-term holiday.
I need to stay away from things like Gatorade, which was a one time thing for me, to get back to natural juices from Orange to Grapefruit.
I haven’t had a run on the treadmill for a few days, which doesn’t make me too pleased about things, I need my exhilarating moments almost daily.
I need to get into a rehabilitation routine, for these really selfish moments in my life, that go naturally and destructively. Organization is key, even if it does sweep off the element of surprise. Because I do need to be self-conscious about things.
It doesn’t feel too well.

Sunset on the Alien Planet HD209458b: Osiris
The amazing image above of a sunset on exo-planet HD209458b 150 light years away, was reconstructed by Frederic Pont of the University of Exeter using data from a camera onboard the Hubble Space Telescope.
Pont used his knowledge of how the color of light changes based on chemicals it encounters, and computer modeling, to create an actual image of what a sunset on the actual planet would look like.
The large exo planet in question, exoplanet HD209458b, nicknamed Osiris, circles its star rather closely. At certain points, when the planet passes between us and its star, the light from that star passes through Osiris’s atmosphere before reaching us, which allowed Pont to determine the chemical composition of the atmosphere and deduce what colors would appear to the naked human eye.
The light from Osiris’s star is white, like our own sun, but when it passes through the sodium in Osirisi’s atmosphere, red light in it is absorbed, leaving the starlight to appear blue. But as the sun sets, the blue light is scattered in the same way as it is here on Earth (Rayleigh scattering) causing a gradual change to green, and then to a dim dark green. And finally, due to diffraction, the bottom of the image becomes slightly flattened.

There’s nothing more refreshing than Daft Punk and some Gatorade.

On the same idea, of technology pressing persistently over the quality of perception.
Unfortunately, I’m not always proud of my social incapability or awkwardness, but I’m suited with this new self-profound exploration.

That’s good news for Hothi!
"‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.’ Easy enough to say when you’re a Roman nobleman (or Shakespeare!), but there is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars."

I think I will, sooner or later, get the Fault in Our Stars.
Why did they have to have both releases to the two movies that I’d certainly go see, all on this particular Thursday, when my finals begin! Now, the thing is, movies like these two, War Horse and the Descendants, last for two weeks maximum here in Qatar, because they almost get an average of 4 viewers per screening…

My right hand is technically frozen, and I swear, I haven’t opened any of my windows all day long, Fatma!
Hopefully, by the time that I am almost 18, I’ll have come in full shape with my writing, and the reflective expression it proclaims. Well, at least I’ll be somewhere in college, and it wouldn’t matter a bit, how far I’m in with my skills.
I feel like I need to have something in store for the rest of the year, to make being sixteen worthwhile or memorable, though, I am confident that it’ll come naturally. I’m most definitely talking nonsense.
This is one of my I-am-going-to-bed entries, that hold unintentional Kafkaesque promise and original genius in bloom.
