Apropos of nothing, here is a cautionary tale, the moral of which is surely 'do not fuck with the geeks.' Or, you know, with people who KNOW anyone capable of extracting a hard drive. Which is most everyone, I guess. Hmm. Yes.

Some days, Getting Enough Sleep is the only item on my Life List.

I'm terribly impressed that Raq's done 6 of them

I haven't, not yet. Rhodes is next month, and then the Egyptian ones in October. I only have Halicarnassus, Olympia and Ephesus under my belt right now (which is why I decided to put them on the Life List).

Definitely Macchu Picchu. I went to Peru for work a couple years ago, and the cow-orker made the arrangements, so we spent the longest time and the long weekend in Panama Boring City, rather than getting to MP. I was cranky. He said "I didn't think there was anything to see in Peru!" So MP, still on The List.

I'd like to see the Nazca Lines too, but doubt I can afford it.

Dolphins and whales, definitely on the list. I know you aren't supposed to swim with dolphins, but I totally want to. Did I mention that Mal and I have been watching The Blue Planet, and he laughs and laughs whenever they show dolphins?

I think I'ma just steal Fay's list.

ION, it may have been the SF2F tank I was wearing that inspired me, but I have discovered that when I go for a run I can carry my iPod in my cleavage.

What kind of doctor's office doesn't open till 9:30am? I mean, really. That's just craziness.

Brilliant brenda!

When in loud places, or in an outfit without pockets, I carry my cell phone in my cleavage. Sadly, it's only been women who notice that my bosom occasionally blinks.

billytea, I feel, given your affinity for wildlife, you would be interested in this post.

You feel correctly. I don't know that I've so much as seen a skunk, which I count as a great shame. I have, however, seen raccoons, which is insane fun.

My sister saw a beaver strolling across her backyard the other day.

I think I may have crossed over to the -zilla phase of roommateness.

Not!Emily and his girlfriend have completely stopped washing silverware. They'll do all of their other dishes, but leave all of the silverware. It used to not bother me. I mean, I'd get annoyed, but it wasn't an all-the-time thing. So, I'd just do it and be done with it.

I find myself, now, though, keeping track of the silverware that me an Emily use. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do about it, but dammit, I'm gonna know when they're doing it. And they're gonna lose points!

Or something.

they crazy!
