Rediscovered my blogger account after not coming to work for a week. Finally finished John Green's The Fault in Our Star so I'm quoting the following lines as my first entry for 2014:
"Sometimes it seems the universe wants to be noticed...
I think the universe is improbably biased toward consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it - or my observation of it - is temporary?"
