Sub particular

[livejournal.com profile] rho posted about quantum physics today. I know nearly nothing about quantum physics but I've always been fascinated by the idea of having mathematics which seems to work without being able to explain why it is it works - without being able to tie the elements of the mathematics back into the physical processes. It's just a really interesting idea which lies at the back of my mind not doing much except saying "hey, look at me, aren't I a weird and fascinating idea". In some ways, I actually avoid knowing any more about this stuff because I like the sense of the fantastic that things like that give me.

I don't think I am going to be able to make it to the pub tomorrow - I have to have my hair cut at lunchtime meaning that I must rush home after work to eat sensibly in the evening before the KTB gig. [livejournal.com profile] coalescent, (a) are you coming to my place to park beforehand? and (b) if you can arrive by 6pm, do you want dinner (doors at 7 according to the Rachael Dadd email)? Given that Thursday is about to become a poo day for [livejournal.com profile] dyddgu, do we want to think about switching day again? I can't do Tues or Fri but other than that, I'm now good. Or are we thinking of having lunchtime meets supercede pub meets? Either way is good for me.

One of the results of reading a lot of books in very quick sucession is that my thoughts have become very prose-y in style again. I wondered about trying to write some prose on here (and yes, I know this is prose, but you know what I mean). Would there be any point though? I suspect I'd just cringe afterwards so I'm not sure and I don't think any of the bits in my head go anywhere.

No, I'm going to have to go straight there. I'm pretty sure tomorrow I'm going to be at work until I absolutely have to leave. I could probably swing by and give you a lift up the road, though?

With all due respect, how do you know until you try? That said, if you don't like the idea of posting here, why not post them over in my recently relauched community [livejournal.com profile] streamofthought, it was made for such things. Then you can post your bit and everyone else can join in too!!

Nah, I'll cycle - I need the exercise.

Fair point. The reason I don't think they do is that they're mostly parts of my life so I feel like they won't be part of anyother story, they're part of mine. Perhaps I'll write one and then see where it seems right to post it.

OK, see you there.

Aren't all stories part of the writers' life, whatever story they are telling.

I'm not trying to get you do something you don't want to do. This said, I am certainly intrigued as to what kind of prose you've got going there in your head...

Wednesday tends to be a gym night for us now, and we have supermarket delivery every other Tuesday, so the only easy night for me would be Monday, which is a bit of a naff night for going to the pub anyway - far too close to the beginning of the week! I also suspect that when it's dark in the evenings I'm a lot more likely to want to just go home rather than hanging around in town.

I was thinking of lunchtime meets being fortnightly as weekly is probably too much of a commitment for people's lunch hours - just have to decide on a where!

Just to let you know, we have ~4 weeks before Thursday becomes officially Late Evening Shift Day for me :-)
