A photo I took near the nature trail I walk.

Edward Hartwick: on 2/24/09, i turn 11,000 days old
Jennifer Shindley: You’ve got entirely too much time on your hands.
Jennifer Shindley: Calculate mine!
Edward Hartwick: i cant, it took me like 15 mins
Edward Hartwick: and yours is more difficult cause youre farther along in the year.. its easy for me to take my 1st year into account cause i just have to subtract 12 from 365
Edward Hartwick: but about 7:30pm eastern tonight, i turn 10,709 days old
Edward Hartwick: and thats taking into account daylight savings too
Jennifer Shindley: You’re like the biggest nerd ever.
Edward Hartwick: ya wanna know what got me to do it?
Jennifer Shindley: ?
Edward Hartwick: i’m listening to the Tool album, 10,000 Days.. and so im like.. how many years is that? and it turns out to be a little more than 27 yrs
Edward Hartwick: so i’m like.. damnit, i missed it, i wanna know by how much and when 11,000 will be
Edward Hartwick: thats what made me do it
Edward Hartwick: the big thing is making sure you account for leap years and the “end cap” years
Edward Hartwick: 366 * # of full leap years, 365 * # of full non-leap years, along with the number of full days you lived in your birth year, plus the number of full days youve lived so far in 08
Edward Hartwick: and dont forget that 2000 was not a leap year
Edward Hartwick: but your leap + non-leap should be 1 less than your actual age (cause you havent had your birthday yet)
Edward Hartwick: so adding all those days up gets you what you’ll be at the time of your birth today
Edward Hartwick: if you count today in the 2008 mix
Edward Hartwick: Ed FTW

Me: Now you have to tell me something in french.
G: Hmm. Ma petite chou.
Me: What’s that mean?
G: My little cabbage.
Me: Your… cabbage?! What is that, like.. ‘Tell me something in french. Oh, okay. Umm.. The pink flamingos fly out at midnight!’ ? BWAHAHAHAHA!
G: It’s a term of endearment in french.
Me: Well, I kinda blew that moment, didn’t I.
