Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

Watched Astro­naut Farmer tonight. Cute lit­tle movie that nearly lost me a few times when the unre­al­ity showed through despite my sus­pended beliefs. I think the only rea­son I didn’t turn it off, like we did for The Pur­suit of Hap­py­ness the other day, is because I wanted to be an astro­naut when I grew up (and what kid didn’t want that if they were 8 when John Glenn orbited the planet.)

In yesterday’s episode of As the Lipids Bounce my num­bers were a lit­tle bet­ter than last time, but not as good as they were the time before. The Doc­tor has obvi­ously given up try­ing to make it any lower as his advice was, “Stay the course and I’ll see you in six months.”

To cel­e­brate this “suc­cess” Donna and I went to Hardee’s for break­fast this morn­ing and we both had Bis­cuits & Gravy.

Now here’s some­thing that doesn’t hap­pen every­day. I got an email from Net­flix let­ting me know that the cost of my monthly plan was being reduced by a buck. Cool, now I can afford that BMW 335i Coupe I want.

Started down, went up, still up.
