(no subject)

I don't want to go to class.

I don't want to go to either of them, as the last thing I learned that was new was that vortexes act on two dimensional planes. And that was three weeks ago!

I mean, seriously, you could watch E=mc2 and Gallieo's Daughter and pretty much get my entire History and Philosophy of Physics lectures in four hours! If they ever do a piece of Descartes and Libetz, that IS my entire class.

I didn't have to go to my first class either, as we were only listening to speeches. It was worth it, though, to see the comedy ( it has to be a comedy, because I can't deal with it framed as a tragedy ) of the anti-gay marriage argument. Because, clearly, two people of the same-sex can get married signals the end of democracy - and that's a direct quote. The stupid, it burns!

Okay, adding on to my last post: anyone know good books on history of science in the 20th century? Because I have one more class and we're still in the mid 19th century and the wild goose chase that is aether. And I really, really hate aether.

Right now I have a book on the British codebreaking operations with Japanese code, and on Project Orion and the early projects dealing with nuclear powered spacecraft, and maybe a book on ENIAC if I break down and by the firesale copy at the bookstore. ( That contuinus firesale is the bane of my montary existance. I think I've spent over $60 there over this year. )

Seriously, one day I'm going to take a history class that actually finishes the damm syllabus and gets beyond World War II.
