Here's something you don't see every day: a nuclear submarine driving down the street

OK, it's only part of a nuclear submarine. But still....

It actually is staged almost exactly like that in the show. The only difference being that the other cast members are playing the music on stage, but they're not really lit and you certainly aren't looking at them. The finale is all Raul Esparza, if not in practice than in feeling.

Really? No dialogue? No "Don't stop now. Keep going."? No" Add 'em up, Bobby. Add 'em up."?

I don't know how I feel about that. I guess it's not fair to judge without having seen the show, but that was one of my favorite parts.

Jesse,

Did you guys do brunch yesterday?

Oy. Lots of email to catch up on at work.

But before I disappear--I don't think I remembered to chime in on the hose discussion of way back when. I wear hose, and because I like it. Not every day, and during the summer I can sure make it through a week without it. But my dress code is business casual and I could probably establish myself as jeans-only if I wanted.

I used to adore tights more than anything, but then I realised the relative lack of static with hose and wish they could make hose that last like tights and tights that slide like hose.

And stockings with garter belts. Sometimes I wear those too.

Was all set to wear in a new-to-me scooter dress this morning, but it's sleeveless and my arms make me look like a clumsy junkie. I've probably got at least three days before I can bare all without generating comment, and by then I might have regained enough weight that the dress won't fit anymore.

Annoying.

Sadly, I didn't -- I was in the middle of New Jersey and lost track of time and the train schedule in the morning. Whoops.

I feel sure that with modern material science, it should be possible to come up with a nylon that won't easily snag and create runs. I really think there must be a conspiracy....

Theo, I agree with you. I also think that nail polish should last longer, but I may be forced to give on that one.

This is a lovely picture, and reading through the change notes makes me smile because it seems to be the point of Wikipedia, which is cool. Also the phrase "Ida moons" appears in the text, and that makes me laugh.

Okay, mail read. I'm so glad that none of the meetings was to have led Friday were rescheduled to Monday.

Oh that's too bad. I'm still bummed about the flight delay that caused me to cancel, especially when my "building bookshelves and unpacking the last of my boxes" project got sidetracked by my own stupidity.

In other news, it feels very strange to be on board time now.

Huh. I never knew there was an Ida asteroid.

OK, the link I just posted has sponsored links. This is weird:

OK, "Earth Orbit" is a brand of boot. But the above makes it sound like Zappos has free shipping to and from earth orbit. For shoes, anyway.
