I was about to offer my services if you needed any help wiring up the spaceship

When/If I'm ready to do wiring I'll take any help I can get. I don't do any work with electronics. I've done some stuff around the house with outlets, switches, and such, but no small stuff.

Some pictures of stage three of spaceship construction (and Leif after he wrapped himself in tape). I didn't shrink the pictures enough, and hey I caught a bird in flight without knowing it.

Now comes stage four, the control panels, a couple of access panels, cutting the windows in the side, and covering the nose.

Then stage five, engine pods.

Finally stage six, the rear door and wall, the ladder on the rear, and the hatch in the roof.

Happy Teacher Day, Teacheristas! May you continue to try to instill knowledge in those young whippersnappers!

Why is the Runaway Bride story still the lead story on CNN.com? How can this be the most important story?

aw, Frank. I'm sorry the universe keeps conspiring on you to have crappy weekends.

I got stuff done, at least (laundry, and a few things around the homestead). I just hate how setbacks like this seem to completely derail me.

Gud, keep the duct tape AWAY from Leif!

(was it one of Laura's kids who duct taped his head or something?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cool, Gud!

Xnera -- I hope things go as calmly as possible.

I'm wondering about this:

Scottish hunk Ewan McGregor fears he'll be blasted for appearing in upcoming Hollywood movie The Island. The 34-year-old star is convinced his decision to star in the Michael Bay thriller alongside screen siren Scarlett Johansson will ultimately rocket his career to even greater heights. And while he accepts many British film critics will attack his decision to star in a big-budget American blockbuster, he insists he needs to commit to the occasional box office smash to maintain his momentum in the tough h industry. He says, "What I like about my career so far is that it has got really broad variety. The older I get the wider my scope should be. It's funny, in Britain I'll get slagged off for doing The Island, I know I will. People will say, 'What's he doing f**king off to America doing that sh**e?' And on the other hand unless you've done a big American action movie you're not really given any credit."

Do they not get Star Wars in Britain? Can I move there?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I love how his quote=exactly what he said but the exposition=way too much interpretation of it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So I went to bed before I saw this, but it was great. Miller was low-key, and Jon kept kind of pushing him a little, like "but don't you think people have always thought 'the good old days' were better, but really they weren't." At the end, he said something along the lines of, "I respect you as a gentleman, but basically we disagree on, well, everything. But thanks for coming!"

Saw the recording this morning. So impressed by the way Jon was so NICE to Zell. He was very respectful and deferential, even when trying to prod him a little on the whole idea of defining decency for different generations.
