I've spent today. I got a lot more for it than I thought I would.

I've spent today in the cold, in a dizzy spell, in anguish at the potential fate of a roommate, in thought for a thesis, answering questions of definition from my father, drinking, smoking, reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, fighting off a cold, wandering 'round the internet, cooking food, eating food, waiting for responses, planning tomorrow's meetings about my future emplyment, playing with the cat, laying around with mech_angel, washing clothes, watching some of the Super Bowl (commercials), watching Sealab 2021, cleaning up, going to the store, typing various LJ entries, and wondering about the things about which I usually happen to wonder.

How did you spent today?

{Also, there's this: Solar Healing. Sounds like Hippie Crap™, i know, but read it. It's intruiging, at the very least.}

i was not as impressed with the commercials as i thought i would be.

i spent today sick. with what ever ness had/has. i go tup at 6pm to watch the game cause i thought it would be better than struggling to try and sleep with stuffed-up&runny nose, popping ears, headache, fever, sore throat, lack of hunger, and a decided inability to form a cognitive word... the resulting demands made by grunting.

i'm feeling good enough to type shit, which is a good sign. i'm not going to school tomorrow though because nothing in the way of my symptoms has changed, the difference right now is that i'm on a lot of drugs...

whatever you feel sickish about, make it go away, you do not want what is going around.

Well, I hope to be okay (hope), and I've taken about 3000mg of Vitamin C, in the past 24 hours, as well as a bunch of echinacea, red pepper, hotsauce, tea with honey, water, aplpesauce, bananas, and meat (not all at once).

And I plan to continue, in much the same vein.

Thanks for the warning.

I have my doubts about the solar healing. There is no doubt that sunlight is very healthy--it's a great source of Vitamin D, for example--but it's no replacement for food. Although you can live without an input of calories for a long time (thus our tendency to collect body fat), you cannot do without the nutrients food provides. I presume this man is taking vitamin supplements during his fasts.

On another page on the site is this: "...Even medical science agrees we hardly make use of the brain but about 5-7% – the most brilliant of humans like Albert Einstein is reported to have used only about 32% of their brains."

That is patently false. We use all of our brains. This is evidenced by what we know about brain damage and brain scans. What's more, it makes no sense whatsoever in the light of evolution; over time, a population will lose traits that inhibit survivability. An energy-intensive organ like a brain would not persist unless its benefits outweighed its costs, and its costs are very heavy. Any portion not being used would fade away over the generations, and we'd be left with considerably smaller brains--that we use 100% of.

On the same page, "Sun energy is the source that powers the brain, which can enter and leave the human body or the brain only through one organ that is the human eye. Eyes are the Sun Energy’s entry door to the human brain." This is silly. I'm not even going to go into how silly this is.

The UPenn findings and procedures are on the site, if you want to check up on it.

Working at Wal-Mart for 8 hours, then reading the net. Sigh.

How's the book? I heard about that a while back and wanted to read it. Wish I'd written it. Wish I'd done anything, really. Oh well.

Book's quite good. You should give it a read.
