"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My dutifulness amounted to washing dishes this morning. And then, as a reward, Flatmate's study buddy called her up to ask if she wanted to go to a Red Sox game with him, and she can't, and she told him to ask me.
So, now I have plans for this evening! Bleacher ticket. I doubled-back immediately after leaving the house, realizing I would really need my binocs from way out in center field.
If I hadn't been dawdling and washing dishes, I would have left for work already, and not have been home when he called. Serendipity!

Clearly someone didn't drink enough alcohol of sufficiently high proofage to prevent this...
Sadly, this is true. Although in my defense, 80% of my group contracted the Con Plague, so it was a pretty damn contagious little bastard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Timelies!
Isn't it weird when you're dreaming, and you interrupt what you're doing to go to the bathroom in your dream, and then you wake up because you have to go to the bathroom?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Well, it's better than waking up because you HAD to go to the bathroom....

Heh.
Once I dreamt that I was swimming underwater. Then I thought, "Hey, you're not supposed to breath underwater." So I held my breath and woke up from that.
And once I wondered if I was dreaming, so I pinched myself. That caused me to wake up.

Coding and Sleeping
I realize I have forgotten just how big the orbits of the planets are. I was thinking that I could do a scale model of the solar system in our yard using all 150 feet and drawing pictures of the planets (well, I'd figure the small ones would pretty much be dots a few millimeters across, so not really pictures) on paper and staking them in the ground. Alas, to fit the solar system in the yard requires that the Sun be about 10mm across and that the Earth be 90 microns across to fit the orbit of Pluto in the yard (I would actually feel okay to exclude Pluto from the planets but I don't want to get my daughter all confused) at 139 feet from the Sun.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies.
Belated Happy Birthday to Lyra Jane.
What's this sleep and dreams you all are talking about? Ugh. I'm hoping at this point that sheer exhaustion will allow me to sleep tonight.
In other fun news, my internet is down at home. Comcast won't be out until tomorrow morning to fix it. Joy. I kept thinking "I'll just pop online and check...oh wait. Damn." last night. Didn't realize how much I take for granted the ability to get to the internet whenever I feel like.

There are places that have large-scale models ("large" being relative here) of the sloar system. I think the biggest one has Pluto 20 miles away from the sun.
BTW, did you know that the sun is a mass of superheated gas? It's also a gigantic nuclear furnace.
