The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Cereal:

Yay for Stealth minivans! And safe-ma to you and the team, Hec.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Started the day by having a bottle of shower gel slip out of my hands and hit me in the foot, cap side down.(Hard enough to raise a welt =and= draw blood)Walking's a little unfun at the moment.

We went looking at houses today. One serious contender among the single-family homes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, it's JZ. I'm just fixing lunch; call me in 15?

Sure, assuming that was for me.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Eeek!

I don't know whether the Southern Hemisphere overall is colder than the Northern, or hotter -- but I do know that the landlocked South Pole is seriously colder than the North Pole, because of the warming effect of the Arctic Ocean, even ice-covered as it is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is awesome:

A Japanese research team has developed a fuel cell that runs on blood without using toxic substances, opening the way for use in artificial hearts and other organs.

The biological fuel cell uses glucose, a sugar in blood, with a non-toxic substance used to draw electrons from glucose, said the team led by Matsuhiko Nishizawa, bio-engineering professor at the graduate school of state-run Tohoku University.

"Since the electron mediator is based on Vitamin K3, which exists in human bodies, it excels in safety and could in the future generate power from blood as an implant-type fuel cell," the group said in a statement.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oooh, biological fuel cells could be cool! Or possibly, scary in a Matrix-y kinda way. Although this could be a way to finally harness the incredible energy of the 3-11 year old set.

Humacell. It keeps going and going and going . . .

Our wings are not tired.

Biological fuel cells very cool, hitting the foot in the shower not so cool. Ouch.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, WOW. I love living now.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

Just saw a Burger King commercial for Empire Burger. They're just not true to the concept at all. It should have frozen white meat in it -- frozen white meat in a bun.
