I now have asparagus in the oven as a reward for all the responsible things I have done today.

re: underwires , that has been bugging me for years. Even though I don't watch Alias, and now I kind of hope TSA folks don't either, I'm kind of glad to not be alone on this.

The people who expect answers from JJ are doomed.

Wrod. I totally learned my lesson from Lost S1.

Reading whitefont about shows I don't watch is so much fun. Much better than actually watching the shows, as I expect y'all are better writers than 90% of the crew of folks who get paid to do it.

Wrod again. Double wrod. I'm almost tempted to go out and watch 24 and Alias DVDs, but I fear they would be terribly disappointing now.

pop tarts:

How appropriate that folks would post links to asparagus recipes when I just this morning decided to take asparagus to a potluck tonight. Thanks!

I'm kind of glad to not be alone on this.

I think that every woman who has been attacked by her own undergarment is right there with us, libkitty.

News of note to early '90's Northern Californians: Naked Guy died over the weekend.

aww I remember that guy. So sad.

This may be in'eresting to science/space geeks: Voyager 2 Detects Odd Shape of Solar System's Edge

The milestone, which comes about a year after Voyager 1's crossing, comes earlier than expected and suggests to scientists that the edge of the shock is about one billion miles closer to the Sun in the southern region of the solar system than in the north.

This implies that the heliosphere, a spherical bubble of charged low-energy particles created by our Sun's solar wind, is irregularly shaped, bulging in the northern hemisphere and pressed inward in the south.

Scientists determined that Voyager 1 was approaching the termination shock when it began detecting charged particles that were being pushed back toward the Sun by charged particles coming from outside our solar system. This occurred when Voyager 1 was about 85 AU from the Sun.

I'm not helping, am I?

No, particularly considering I caved and took the kids to McDonald's. Ben has a game in 25 minutes or so. It was the only way to feed them without making myself nuts. I pre-atoned by going to the good produce stand and buying food with food in it (mostly fresh fruit and salad stuffs), though.

Ooof. Gotta run. Again.

oh god. I'm in the shit.

Also, when I am eating lunch at my desk, stop interrupting to ask me dumbass questions that can wait til after lunch.

I think shrift's job wafted over to me.

Please send reinforcements.

Audible yawning at this point in training. I am reduced to hijacking my neighbour's got-a-question-right candy. And I don't even like Reese's Pieces. We so need a break. If I hadn't been checking work email, I'd have fallen asleep by now.

It's a bag. It turns your dog into a piece of luggage. With a dog head, feet and tail sticking out.
