Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bwah:

After seeing a recent in-house promotional brochure, I'd like to issue a brief request on behalf of my fellow researchers. This is addressed to all professional photographers: please, no more colored spotlights.

I know that you see this as a deficiency, but scientists do not work with purple radiance coming from the walls behind them. Not if we can help it, we don't, and if we notice that sort of thing going on, we head for the exits. In the same manner, our instruments do not, regrettably, emit orange glows that light our faces up from beneath, not for the most part, and if they start doing that we generally don't bend closer so as to emphasize the thoughtful contours of our faces. When we hold up Erlenmeyer flasks to eye level to see the future of research in them, which we try not to do too often because we usually don't want to know, rarely is this accompanied by an eerie red light coming from the general direction of our pockets. It's a bad sign when that happens, actually.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm still waiting for Who Wants to Be a Hitman, Hecubus. Then I *dare* the President of Paraguay to look at me funny.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So, what are people doing this weekend?

I'm doing a lot of cleaning/organizing, interrupted by playing with Juliana and others to celebrate her birthday.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just got a flyer from a pro bono org advertising a seminar entitled "A Discussion on Education" -- with no other details provided. I've always been interested in ... "education." Why not have a seminar on "people" and "things"? I like those and have thoughts on those too!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

bon, I heard the Seminar on Stuff is much more interesting.

So, what are people doing this weekend?

Snuggling up with the air conditioner, as it's forecast to be HOTTER THAN THE SUN this weekend.

I am planning to clean my apartment/do laundry in prep for going away next week while trying to stay cool.

Where are you going, Sue?

Art Crawl!!!

Trying to stay cool and take back bits of my apartment from the waves of disorder and chaos that have taken over it.

I'm thinking that those are opposing goals.

This week's Friday Cephalopod is remarkably beautiful.

I'm going to Ottawa and Montreal for a week. When everyone is getting out of the city heat, I dare to go into it.

I've never been to Ottawa so I am thinking it will be a lot of museums and art galleries.
