Uh, it's high school physics, and I can explain it better than you.

I just moved here from MySpace. Something about blogging on a NewsCorp site with banners bothered me. I don't want Rupert Murdoch making a profit off of me. I didn't know of any other service with MySpace's capabilities, though, so I'm starting here on Google-owned Blogger...and we'll see if I get fed up with Google's business practices - I already don't use their search engine. Make sure you delete your cookies if *you* do, since they put a non-expiring cookie on you and track your search usage.

I twice I took the bus today. Twice it was packed so tight that no one else could get on and people were left at bus stops to wait for the next one. But the monkeys on the bus couldn't quite grasp that if they moved towards the back, more people could fit on. To be fair, people in front did, but there was a ton of room in the back, each time. People are pathetic. It's like using the brain too much is exhausting.

I sat through this all-day lecture by some orthodontist from Georgia. He had some good points regarding practice management, but shit, his treatment mechanics were nothing groundbreaking, even for me, who's treated only 50 or so ortho patients. And this guy said he only figured most of this out after *FOURTEEN* years of private practice. Uh, it's high school physics, and I can explain it better than you. I was, during your lecture today. The moral of the story is you apparently don't really have to know much about orthodontics to have a successful practice.

I ate so much crap today. It was all free. By the end of the day I was so stuffed that I felt like puking. Even 4-5 hours later I'm still totally stuffed. On a related note, I weighed myself for the first time in a year...and I weigh 10 pounds more than I did the last time, and 20 pounds more than I did two years ago...this = not good. Granted, I'm sure a few pounds of it was food I ate, but shit...I need to cut back the junk food big time. This will be good for my wallet as well, eh?

I am feeling radically better. I went out a for a little bike ride and was feeling pretty good. I got Trish a birthday gift and went to Quimby's and had to keep myself from buying too much. Damn is there a lot I'd like to read. Anyway, I have to be downtown at 9am again tomorrow for some research presentations. Bleh.

Unicornography is a great fucking record, let me tell you.
