Time Matter(s)

I didn't go to school today. I always felt crippled without Elektra.
Is it so bad to be dependent? It's a non-living thing, it doesn't have the will to leave me even if it wanted to. It can't even want anything for that matter.

I learned a new word last night while finishing Gut Symmetries.
Apraxia. It's an inability to perform voluntary purposeful movements.
I guess Elektra has that. Haha! Funny thought.

Finished Gut Symmetries last night. It was quite hard to digest with all the scientific gibberish about Quantum Physics and the like, I was just floating through the words until I got to parts I truly understood. Even if I didn't get much of the two paragraphs before the ending, it still sent me shivers when I reached the last sentence. Jeanette Winterson, you are love.

I noticed she has a fascination for the total intangibility of Time. Not til I read a part of Sexing The Cherry that I understood at least a fourth of Gut Symmetries, "Matter, that thing the most solid and the well-known, which you are holding in your hands and which makes up your body, is now known to be mostly empty space. Empty space and points of light. What does this say about the reality of the world?"

It says a lot, I dare say.
