I seem to have reached a state I call existential boredom. It consists of getting up in the morning, eating breakfast, and thinking: "better be time for lunch soon, since that's about all I can do with my day." The fact that I was dreaming about math homework earlier, and it was a good dream should tell you all something. I need a life. A reason to get up each morning would also be nice.

In other news, I'm officially an idiot. Someone, somewhere, mentioned the Blinovitch Effect, and I sort of assumed it was an existing theoretical projection, concerning time travel. (What? Physicists do that sort of stuff all the time.) As opposed to, you know, something solely existing in the Doctor Who universe. Go me.

I've been there, and I can promise it'll be ironic looking back on when you're in a place later on where you don't seem to have any free time at all. ^^;; At least you're working towards getting back into school so you'll have a chance to do something more than worry about what to have for lunch.

...and at least the effect is based on something real? (Which explains why Star Trek is so obsessed with temporal paradoxes in their own pseudo-scientific history, actually. I always wondered why they were so certain.)

Yay, irony.

What is the real principle, all of this is based on, anyway? (Hm. Now I have a strange craving for Trek...)

The Novikov self-consistency conjecture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novikov_self-consistency_principle). If you look up Blinovitch in Wikipedia it's the second thing they mention. ^^
