Cereal -- high-speed photography of milk hitting coffee. Very pretty!

I would love a huge one of the ones with the coffee cup to hang in my kitchen or bedroom-though I don't take milk in mine.

It's 4.9 degrees out. And really not that warm in either. (I'm wearing two wool sweaters and still feeling chilly.)

And the cats were just nutty earlier: racing the length of the apartment like they were being chased.

House: It reminded me of one of those 'long-lost daughter' fics. Or at least, were I casting one I'd pick her

Yay sarameg! Soon, you too will know the joys of "Hey, what was that song I liked when I went ice skating with that boy/on that show/on that random compilation cd? I want that song! Ahh. Got it!"

Sadly, I'm still the luddite on dialup, so this may be a ways off.

FTR, the song was Jackie Greene's I'm So Gone. Cause for once it wasn't on the radio for once and I wasn't whiplashed by the FREAKINESS of Didja hear about Vegas/ She's got mouths to feed and only one hole keeps them fed.

It took forever, but it worked. So now to figure out how to download while I sleep...

Mine queues up so stuff downloads after the last finishes.

Saturday night, I went out with a friend and heard the band do "It ain't me babe" remembered I loved a female singer's version of that and between Google and iTunes the song was mine! Also remembered some band I liked with a sad break up song and a few others I really liked- only one of which I could remember a snippet of a lyric to-and between googling that lyric and Amazon "Shakespeare My Butt" is winging it's way to my house as we speak.

I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!

Tonight's TDS guest is an astrophysicist, and he is one of the better guests I've ever seen on this show! Articulate, a perfect teacher in dumbing down complex concepts into simple explanations, and hilarious.

I have to figure that out. Which I'll do at work where I have a decent connection. I'm quite pathetic, really.

I was talking about the AMAZE of the internet with the family recently. Now, the parents aren't so adept. I coax them into stuff. And the site I was trying to google was impenetrable. However, it still kinda blows my mind that a mere decade ago, if I didn't know it, I looked in a paper dictionary and if that failed and I was really desperate, I called people. Iglet? What is puttanesca (spelt wrong)? I was screwed unless dad was reading the obscure. I educate him now on the obscure. I rely on google and wikipedia and it has expanded my knowledge of useless shit. IT'S SO COOL. Anyway.

I just checked the listing, he's the host of NOVA ScienceNow.

How does he pronounce "billions"?
