I could tell you about all the interesting conversations I've had with Matt about democracy and planning for disaster. I could tell you about our walk up Cronk ny Arrey-Laa on Friday. I could tell you about Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I could tell you about my first lessons of the new term. I could tell you about the weird-ass dreams I've been having lately.

But I won't.

I will tell you that last night I learnt how to levitate a la David Blaine, which was nice.

Is it possible for one human brain to hold EVERYTHING all at once? I mean, is it possible for a human being to understand the past, present, future, infinite space, tiny things at a quantum level (and smaller) and how everything is connected? Do we have enough brain power for that? I have a job holding more than five thoughts in my head at any one time. But then, I'm a girl and I shouldn't think too much in case my brain overheats... ;-)
