They do a much better job than Alias ever did of making it look like they're in foreign.

yeah, like tonight when they were trying to pretend that Renee and Tom were by the river in Paris, and it was CLEARLY blue screened. Guess they cut the budget when they're cancelling your ass .

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Way back... there was a link to a lolitaGoth. who had a theme song- is it wrong that I am fairly sure I remember a good deal of the Sailor Moon theme song?

Does anyone know how/where The Unit does it's external shots? They do a much better job than Alias ever did of making it look like they're in foreign.

They're out in Santa Clarita so I assume a lot of their filming is there. Tonight, in the beginning, when they were outside in the center of town, it made me wonder if they'd dressed up Catalina to look like Rio.

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

I want a superlens (from the cloaking article). I want to be able to force light to behave in unusual ways.

Allyson got me thinking about haircuts. Could I pull off this look?

Today was wierd. I spent 12 hours (mostly doing very little) working the Lemelson-MIT awards. These were some seriously monied people. The award winners were very interesting (the first guy to genetically engineer interferons and the guy behind the LCD (from mood rings to flat panel displays)) but I wonder what the point is in awarding $100,000 or $500,000 to a gazillionaire. I'm sure they deserve the recognition, but will they even notice the cash? Toward the other end of the scale... I was excited to get a free carry-out lunch from Pucks.

yes, we had a skype call (me and my boss) with our israel office. We are shifting our workday today to have more overlap with them. The upside is I will leave work at 3.

Other upside is I have time with you all to myself. MWAHAHAHA

Yours is an evil laugh.

If you have to work on an Israeli schedule, does that mean you got to at least have some sort of Independence Day celebrations yesterday? Fireworks in the office? Lots of food? Some more food, because the former "lots" wasn't enough?

unfortunately no. This is an unfair schedule sharing. none of the bonus good stuff. Although I did have BK yesterday, so that kind of counts as lots of food.

Hmm, well, did you eat it outside? because that's part of the deal. There's no leave of grass left without hummus, no lawn free of barbecueing, no kid left to wander off without a pita. That's probably the main way of celebrating that day.

I went to two picnics. In the first, my friends used the fact that they have a small square of lawn to declare letting the children play there as a picnic, and the company and food were great. When I arrived to the second, taking place in a real park (different friends), I couldn't eat another thing. But the company was still great, so it was all good.
