blasted entropy
well...
it's practically the end of may. and this month certainly rushed, vroom-ed, and zoomed past without much room to breathe... but with lots of room to think stuffed in there somehow. somewhere in the past 30 days, summer arrived. pretty quickly, i'd say. and with the same viciousness and intensity as all dc summers seem to have -- hot and humid, rather unrelenting. yum.
la familia came to visit over memorial day weekend for my cousin diana's wedding in suburban maryland. and suprisingly, it was generally painless. always a bit hectic, always a little frustrating, but overall, kinda nice actually. nowadays, it seems so hard to get everyone together in one place. and they actually got to visit me... so that's sorta cool. in the end, you can never really escape family. and i got to see my bazillion cousins (and their kiddos!!) too.. which is always fun. it's sorta amusing to see how we're all related. i dunno why, but it is.
so here's my nerdy jabbering -- you know how thermodynamics and fluids classes and dear ole basic chem and physics lectures always mentioned one of those laws? that we tend towards entropy? chaos? i finally believe it. it's true. a bedroom naturally gets messy. life can never stay too organized: it's like boring-ness isn't an option for me. settling down? nature says, "hahaha, funny! try again, biatch. back to entropy for you!" sigh. there are, obviously, technicalities associated with this law -- stuff about closed systems and dS/dt and those crazy now-greek-to-me equations that i conveniently forgot after final exams. but in general, tis totally true. i tend towards entropy.
awesome.
in the next few days, like the last few months, i plan on continuing my battle against entropy. waging war! or at least, figuring out how to accept it to a certain degree. or work with it. wait, that's it -- i'll work with it. enemies can be friends, right? entropy, be my friend. the question remains however... will you be my friend in california or dc? or somewhere else altogether?
