I've gotten lots of tchotchkes over the years from scientific supply companies, including an umbrella with constellations on it, my current brief case, a tie with tiny chemical element symbols on it, and a postcard of a naked lady from one particularly progressive company.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Who knew Roombas had cocks?
Wouldn't those be Roombers?

It's sunshiny here, but they're predicting 1-5 inches of snow for tomorrow. At least I got my laundry all done this morning, so I won't have to worry about venturing down the alleyway to the laundry room in the snow.

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.
First day on help desk and it's been slow. Desperately waiting for 6pm to arrive so I can go home. Still have 8 tickets to close, and I probably could have taken care of most of them with how slow the phones have been today, but no, I had to just sit here. Ugh.
Haven't gotten any exciting swag. T-shirts, pens and the occaisional mug. I did get Y2K boxer shorts from one company, though I've never worn them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is anyone else watching Top Chef? I just watched the pilot (iTunes has it for free), and duuuuuuuude am I hooked. It's like Iron Chef meets The Apprentice before it got boring. Total reality TV trash, with food!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
SOOO irritated. Why does Netflix only have Law & Order seasons 1-4 and then 14?!? Did NBC not release all of those? I NEED SEASON 6!!

I've taken a Flexeril, so hopefully that will help with the muscular stitch in my side. Alas, it will also probably knock me out before Lost, but at least I have my TiVo to keep it safe and warm for me!

I'm getting the pig!
I thought Lost was a repeat tonight...?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Roomba Frogger: [link]
This is Roomba Frogger, a modern, geek version of the famous 1981 video game "Frogger," in which players had to get a frog across a street without it getting crushed by a car or truck.
But here, in front of one of Austin's 19th-century landmarks, the gorgeous Driskill hotel, Torrone and Fried and a growing crowd have already gotten their Roomba, dressed in a cut-up green T-shirt to look like a frog, across the street several times without serious incident. Now everyone is cheering for imminent impact.

Oooh! Nicole, you're right!
And there's a Bones on, and then if I stay awake that long, there's a Veronica Mars, too!
I'd dance in glee, but if I start twisting my torso it hurts enough to make me gasp, so I won't.
