I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I assumed my shoulders were narrower than the average.

I have a theory that female movies stars have larger than average shoulders. [link] [link] [link] Uh, now I can't think of anyone because work email keeps interrupting me.

I just made a purchase from here:

It's the Scotch Tape Boutique! Local color: Father Guido Sarducci wrote that bit with Fairfax, CA in mind, where he lived.

Did you see the recall of Fentanyl patches last week?

I'm appalled that they suggest people flush them down the toilet. Where do they think they end up? Hello, polluted water & water tables. Yeesh. Every community has hazardous waste drop-offs, hello!

holy crap. one of the estimates for a mover was $1300-$1400. Gulp. Maybe it will be about schlepping.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

holy cannoli, Kat! That's too much. We can help schlep. We have a big car.

As for checking Noah's eyes, don't they just use that machine that looks at the retina and approximates your sight? It's supposed to be pretty accurate, especially given that a baby really can't tell you on his own.

I am waiting to start a chat for a group project for my online class.

Group projects SUCK and in online classes they are WORSE.

Somebody hold me. I could have finished this entire thing all by myself in a week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So amongst the math and physics people here - who has heard of Oliver Heaviside?

Not me.

Oliver Heaviside (May 18, 1850 – February 3, 1925) was a self-taught English electrical engineer, mathematician, and physicist who adapted complex numbers to the study of electrical circuits, invented mathematical techniques to the solution of differential equations (later found to be equivalent to Laplace transforms), reformulated Maxwell's field equations in terms of electric and magnetic forces and energy flux, and independently co-formulated vector analysis. Although at odds with the scientific establishment for most of his life, Heaviside changed the face of mathematics and science for years to come.

Dude lived and died in poverty.

I taped *some* of my carpet tonight. Uhg.

Hey, total lunar eclipse tonight. Totality is 10-10:50ish eastern at my location. Don't get another here for 10 years or something. Go look if it is clear. Eclipses are cool.
