Yay, G!

Number one in the hood, G.

Part of me thinks it's punishment enough that someone in the NSA has to monitor my boring-ass phone calls.

God, me too.

I still think it's possible that Danny Masterson was wearing the shirt ironically. Or something. I'm thinking of my father wearing the hipster Jesus on a Wanted poster t-shirt I got him. He's still a Christian, it's still funny.

Yay for jobs for Emily and G!

ER: telling Neela to 'go home' is moronic. Someone needs to TAKE her hom and be with her. Duh.

Oh, and I got 32 on that internet usage thing, because like the rest of you people, I don't mind that I'm online all the freaking time.

I got 48, which is just below the "you have a problem" range. I probably would have registered as having a problem, except that I live in the middle of the desert, and the SO is online all the time, too, so there's no one to complain to me about how long I'm online. There was another question that was funny, too, that I answered rarely, but it didn't answer the question the way they intended.

I would remember what the question was, but I'm tired from staying up online all night. Also, I'm online to avoid doing the dishes and cleaning the bathrooms Right Now and it's fucking great.

No, actually, I stayed up all night watching hockey and worrying about the SO. He has a recurring sore throat and other cold symptoms that have come and gone with increasing severity for the past five months. He's sick of being sick and at this point is convinced it's something dire. Any ideas to help?

Trudy - I so agree. And I am so torn because on the one hand - Neela+Ray!!! And on the other -- oh no! Not Michael !

csi - Brass can't die, right?

Good Office tonight.

ION, the University of Rochester is making light go backwards. And apparently the backwards-going light travels faster than forwards-going light. Is to head-explode:

"I've had some of the world's experts scratching their heads over this one," says Robert Boyd, the M. Parker Givens Professor of Optics at the University of Rochester. "Theory predicted that we could send light backwards, but nobody knew if the theory would hold up or even if it could be observed in laboratory conditions."

Boyd recently showed how he can slow down a pulse of light to slower than an airplane, or speed it up faster than its breakneck pace, using exotic techniques and materials. But he's now taken what was once just a mathematical oddity—negative speed—and shown it working in the real world.

"It's weird stuff," says Boyd. "We sent a pulse through an optical fiber, and before its peak even entered the fiber, it was exiting the other end. Through experiments we were able to see that the pulse inside the fiber was actually moving backward, linking the input and output pulses."

I made it past 8:30, and it's almost dark out.

That means I get to take nyquil and sleep like the dead for many hours now, riight?
