So can Caitlin Moran and this is what she’d do… “I would use my Queen’s speech to explain how socialism works, whilst playing Guns N’ Roses in the background and smoking a fag.” [source] I’d spend my Queen’s speech taking a nap, and just have them air me doing that. Alternatives could be just eating and drinking while intensely staring at the camera, or going on about waves, which I do a lot anyway.

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…

Pluto is there.

The artist remembered Pluto.

Guys…

The artist drew Pluto crying.

Everything is energy. Physical matter is energy. Thoughts are energy. Feelings are energy. Every image, thought, feeling, and belief you consciously or unconsciously hold about yourself carries a specific energy pattern to it. These energy patterns are complex and very real. Collectively they make up your experience of self, which is your inner reality. This ongoing inner reality creates the outer reality you live with everyday.

theatlantic: Why Women Will Rule the Economy of the Future Women are poised to dominate our workforce in the coming years. With each passing decade, more Americans have gone to school and earned a higher degree. But as shown in this chart above, which I compiled from data in a pair of annual reports released by the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly all of that progress since 1975 has been among females (in GREEN). Women passed men in bachelor’s attainment in 1995 and haven’t looked back since. By 2000, a higher share of females were earning Master’s degrees, where they now out-compete males 8.8 percent to 5.1 percent. The pattern has been similar across every racial demographic. Among whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, women have simply made more progress.   Read more. [Image: Jordan Weissmann]

I had a pretty good day. Steph woke me up with a fried breakfast, and it was delicious. Then, I lounged around for a bit and we went to campus and sat down by the lake and then in the trees a bit further up and read and talked. We weren’t there for long, but it was nice, and I had a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone, and did no Shakespeare revision. When we got back, I talked to my mom on Skype, who I hadn’t spoken to in ages (and it must have been around Christmas or something when we last did a video chat). Then I did my kettlebell workout (not so fun) and I’m now chilling out watching tv in bed with the fan on me. I don’t really want to go to sleep but I’m going to force myself because I have to get up and start Phase 2 of Mike’s Revision Success Plan.
