'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Somehow her not feeling the pain makes it more scary. More alien. Weird.
Huh. The burning sensation guy is gone. I got IMed that he looked like he'd seen a ghost and now he's gone. Do heart attacks have burning sensations? People are muttering by his cube, and now that I want to overhear, I can't.
A clue to how seriously to take Bush's initiatives on alternative energy sources:
The Energy Department will begin laying off researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the next week or two because of cuts to its budget.
A veteran researcher said the staff had been told that the cuts would be concentrated among researchers in wind and biomass, which includes ethanol. Those are two of the technologies that Mr. Bush cited on Tuesday night as holding the promise to replace part of the nation's oil imports.
The budget for the laboratory, which is just west of Denver, was cut by nearly 15 percent, to $174 million from $202 million, requiring the layoff of about 40 staff members out of a total of 930, said a spokesman, George Douglas.

I hate Senator Kyl. We're not all fuckwits, honest. Pederson in '06!
Or, you could move to California, where you'd have zero fuckwit senators, and you wouldn't even have to go out campaigning to make it so. t /state pimpage
I'd never heard of Kyl before... what a ghastly freeze-dried troll he is.
OMG so annoying. So I headed out to bring sustenance to poor sick msbelle, and there's all kinds of Drama at the subway station. Like, multiple fire trucks and other assorted Official Vehicle drama. Needless to say, there are no trains at that station. So I thought maybe they'd just bypass, and I could get one at the next stop. On my way there, I ran into all the people getting out of that station, because in fact there are no trains at all right now, in either direction. So annoying that this happened right now! At least to get to school, I take a different line. And actually, I could have gotten to msb's place on other lines, which stop in the other direction from my house, but now I don't have enough time. Bastages!
Maybe burning sensation guy has the syph, ita.

I hope it's the funny syphilis.
Jesse is a super trooper for even trying.
Jesse is a good friend.
Extra terrestrial art. How irritating. Like conceptual art, some of it based on science, is a new thing, and no one spends time thinking about what it could be like out there, except for this one chick.
Eh. At least I got a nice walk out of it.
Er, what's irritating? The tone of the article or the fact she got a book out of it?
An old professor of mine used to hire himself out as a consultant to science fiction writers who wanted to get the science as accurate as possible. He used to do visualizations for them as well. They were pretty neat.
