imaginarycircus at 04:11pm on 10/11/2009The woman in the office at the hospital didn't believe me when I said I had my last mammogram 19 years ago, but it's true. I was 19. I had a benign tumor. They took it out.
The smashing was fine. It was quick and I didn't pass out. Now, I'm busy filling out forms for the geneticist. I've been avoiding all this cancer prevention stuff for years. I don't know why. It's so much fun.
I spent a long time today thinking about space-time and relativity and then realized that magic kind of breaks a lot of those rules. I just don't know how to reconcile the magic in, say, Harry Potter with the conservation of matter. But isn't that kind of like asking, "When The Doctor goes inside the Tardis, where does he go?" Of course I'm not working with the sort of magic that happens in Harry Potter in my novel. It's the sort of magic that happens when you piss an ancient Greek goddess off and she turns you into a monster, which technically is a kind of transfiguration? I don't know.
