h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wow I haven't written anything since I don't know when. Well I could check, but that would mean switching screens all that. This does bring me to a thought, though. Sit down it's a long ride. Anyway this reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend Josee. Her real name. Hee Hee. I know that she'll never realize that I'm talking about her. She's not a computer person. Actually I should say an internet person. Two different species. Back to the conversation.
It was during the winter Olympics of this year that we were talking. She had mentioned that her concept of time was slightly screwed because of the races. The difference between gold and silver was 100th's of a second. But when you try to conceptualize the time to "real life" time it is difficult. We figured that when you're watching a race that is as fast as something in the Olympics you lose any sense of actual time because the camera fools your mind with the panning of an event. I'm sure that even the spectors there had no real sense of the times. What they would be seeing would just be whoose of sound and colour. Now when I'm waiting for the microwave to heat up dinner 30 seconds I realize this is a last place finish. This could also explain why I'm incredibly impatient. I usually want responses as soon as I sent an email, not realizing that the server is slow and/or my friends have work and a life. The world should revolve around me, damnit!
