Feeling All Mathematical-like

Had another great day off yesterday! We got up early & got some breakfast, we over to the bookstore, & stopped by Best Buy to grab a couple movies. I'm excited, cause I think I want Lance to get me an Iphone for my B-Day. I need a new phone, & since he's not the most surprising gift-giver, he usually just buys me what I want. I'll let you know, I'm sure!!

Like I said in the title, I'm feeling very Mathematical-like. I started reading "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. I'm surprised because I get most of the basic physics so far (I was dumb & lazy in high school and never took it). So I decided to do my own crafty experiment. I was working on my newest Felted Critter (awesome), & decided to time how long it takes to poke the wool 1,000 times. Here are the results....

Needle Felting Pokes

1 Poke 1/3 Second
100 Pokes 30 Seconds
1,000 Poke 5 Minutes
100,000 Pokes 8 Hours, 20 Minutes
1,000,000 Pokes 3 Days, 11 Hours, 20 Minutes
* *
1 Second 3.33 Pokes
1 Minute 200 Pokes
1 Hour 12,000 Pokes
1 Day 288,000 Pokes
I usually sit and needle felt for hours at a time, so I hope this helps illustrate just how much I poke & poke & poke & poke & poke.....

I forgot to post some pictures of my New Yummy Needle-Felted Cupcakes I listed last week. So I thought I'd throw them in today!! Here's a Carrot Cake Cupcake & Chocolate Insanity Cupcake!!

It's soooooooo hot......

Uhhhhhh..... so hot...... blah.....

It's so hard to do anything when it is so hot outside. I ended up sitting on the couch in my swimsuit, eating Cheetos & stewing in my own juices yesterday afternoon. Yuck!!! I think I might got to the gym today just because it's air conditioned. That's sad. I usually try and come up with any excuse to avoid the gym!!!

In some worried Science News, Stephen Hawking has been hospitalized with a chest infection. In the last couple months I have actually been reading some Physics & Cosmology books (actually just getting into 1 - they are not easy-sunday-reading). He is supposed to make a full recovery, but loosing one of the greatest brains in science would be horrible. I also appreciate how he has become a scientific pop culture icon. There needs to be more Stephen Hawkings and less Brittany Spears!!!
