Life and Things

I watched the Netflix version of The Haunting of Hill House. I had so many people keep telling me I needed to watch it, that I dredged up my app account on my tablet and binged it at work over two days. It was really good. And all I could think about was quantum physics and how we don’t even really understand how time works anyway, or truly understanding quantum theory. I’ll have to watch it again with Jonas when he returns from his current trip. He loves spooky things, and would definitely enjoy discussing my random theories.

Next week we are going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It’s a yearly November thing. We also have plans to finally explore Sacramento. We plan this every year, but hopefully this time works out. We’re going to the Underground, and to Sutter’s Fort. The archaeologist in me is excited!
