Four months ago I decided to paint my kitchen.
Within two weeks I had finished the top half.
Two months later I finished the bottom half.
Two weeks after that I finally got around to telling the Internet about it.
So, for the record...
My kitchen looks awesome (finally):
And has hidden inspirational quotes on it:
It's pretty much my own Sistine Chapel. Minus the chapel part. And the Sistine part.
Stories about a girl who loves math finding her place in the world

11:11 Make A Wish
Once upon a very long time ago, Plato wrote "I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning."
About five years ago, '?' on Yahoo Answers went on to explain this further. She said, "Math is all about rules and analysis....Everything has a solution, everything has its theorems and postulates and reasons. I guess some mathematicians would try to apply this to life, and assume everything has a procedure that will get you to the right solution, everything has an answer, everything is able to be analyzed and figured out. This isn't true."
It is true.
This reminded me of a chart I saw once upon a time. I call it the Geek-Nerd Chart:
I'm happy to say that I fall mostly on the nerd side. Except when it comes to Doctor Who, because I love Doctor Who.
Today I watched the episode of Doctor Who where David Tennant regenerates into Matt Smith. It was heartbreaking. Seriously, I started crying. That's probably weird, but have you seen David Tennant as the Doctor? You would start crying, too.
While mourning the loss of David Tennant from my daily life, I found out he also starred in the wonderful movie called The Decoy Bride. So I found it on Netflix and watched it.
Scottish David Tennant plays British James Arber. British Alice Eve plays American Lara Tyler. And Scottish Kelly Macdonald plays... Scottish Katie. It was filmed to promote tourism in Northern Scotland.
As you can imagine, it's not a very good movie. I've already seen it once before and I thought it was awful, but then I realized David Tennant is in it and now it might be my new favorite movie.
Also, did you know David Tennant makes about five cameos in How to Train Your Dragon? They're all on YouTube in 5 second intervals if you want to watch them.
This is what I've been doing all day because I have a test tomorrow. It's amazing what you can find on the Internet when you are supposed to be doing productive things with your life.
I'm really going to miss David Tennant in Doctor Who.

Happy Veteran's Day!
People in the military are awesome. I don't know if they get told that enough, but they should.
You know what else is awesome? War propaganda posters. We've all seen these classics:
But what about these forgotten gems?
WWI:
WWII:
Apparently women became much less trustworthy during the 1920s... Wait, that makes sense.
In other news, Netflix took down all of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies.

Random Thoughts From This Week
1. Don't watch Dr. Who late at night when you are home alone.
2. Don't make any plans for the 48 hours after you take NyQuil.
3. Thinking about taking NyQuil then going for a drive to see if it really affects your ability to handle heavy machinery is a bad idea. Don't try it.
4. I think my roommate hid the Halloween candy because she thinks I'm addicted to it.
5. Don't eat candy for lunch and dinner.
6. My first thought when I realized the candy was missing was "Why is all the rum gone?" I don't even drink rum.
7. I think my roommate might be right.
8. Using logic to show that the more people die the easier it is to figure out who the killers are in Mafia does not make people think you are a trustworthy citizen.
9. Do not walk to your car alone after playing Mafia. Do not drop your purse on the ground when you are looking for killers under the car. Do not look startled when you hear a car door slam. It just makes you an easy target.
10. Really, it's a miracle I made it through this week.
