I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

MSBELLE! Where have you BEEN?

ION, I knew AD was going to be on HIMYM, and I still almost missed him. It was very confusing for me!

I just had a long day. Also, I cut class and was then sitting outside the professor's office after it ended. Oops. Eh.

msbelle, I approve of your plan.

I just has a sorely needed nap. When I need a lie down in the evening, I don't really sleep like normal. It's just like I go heavy boneless and usually have really vivid dreams while still being aware of noises in the room and whatnot. But I really don't want cake, despite dreaming of all sorts of varieties in bakeries all over town.

Now this I gotta hear.

I think she means astronomy, biology and so forth. Apparently Annes world is a flat disc supported by giant elephants resting on the back of a giant tortoise.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What is it about a new thread that makes skippage so much easier? I'm still back on the hugs-at-work part of the last Natter. Speaking of... P-C, Tommyrot and ChiKat can think me a loser for not catching up with them on Saturday but in my defense I was hanging out here getting hugs from Terry Kinney and others.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Nuh-uh -- Anne Coulter cannot have Discworld! I forbid it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You missed me humiliating myself in front of 180 people at TMLMtBGB, so that makes you a winner.

Let's just say that I hate interactive theater....

IOMarsN,

NASA's Spirit rover has reached safety after weeks of scrambling with low power supplies to reach a place from which to weather the approaching Martian winter. The northern-tilting slope of the spot, dubbed Low Ridge Haven, will help maximise the sunlight reaching the rover's solar panels, ensuring its power stays above the minimum needed.

"We've got a safe rover," say principal investigator Steve Squyres. Spirit is now parked with about 11.5° of northerly tilt, towards the Sun. Squyres told New Scientist: "We're much, much safer than we've been in quite a while. That's huge news for us."

Yay!

Woohoo?

I got your message, but any time you said the name of a place it was all garbled. It was all, "We're at lsdhggoasehg and we'll be going to hfaKerghaksdhjg." I tried getting to Wicker Park in the afternoon on the off chance you'd go there, but I was thwarted by train issues.
