The research station in Bahia de los Angeles (Baja Mexico) had a whale skeleton mounted in the side yard. Damn, but I wish I'd taken a picture of it -- I ran into camera trouble, and only got about 2 rolls out of the entire week, alas. Most amazing place I've ever been....
She just... she just did the math.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sitting here in my nightclothes about to watch "Legion of Superheroes". Kinda like being a kid again....

Hah! That's a good idea, actually -- I wonder if it's on here?
Hil is cracking me up with the complaints about the song charts being constructed 'wrong'. Such a math/logic person, don't ever change!

Me too. Keep on posting. I love pointing out when people are being stupid.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Um, Brenda, I may not be reading the tone of your post right-- it comes across as rather pointed and sharp. Did you mean it to?
eta: though that might be my lack of coffee making me tone deaf.

Um, not really no. Just stating that I'm enjoying Hil's links. Possibly I was channeling my inner Rodney McKay.

Or maybe it was just me.
Group Hug?

Always up for a group hug. I watched Legion and stayed for Spider-Man. Now I can blame Sheryl for my getting nothing done this morning! Yay?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Balloon lost in the sky with diamond
See, I'd be thinking, "Gee, there's a possibility of something going wrong with this plan...."
It had seemed a romantic and highly original way to propose to the love of your life with a £6,000 diamond ring.
Lefkos Hajji, 28, wanted to make his engagement one his girlfriend would never forget, only to have his dreams cruelly snatched from his grasp by a gust of wind.
Rather than simply dropping to one knee before Leanne, 26, he told a florist to put her engagement ring in a silver helium balloon.
But no sooner had he left the shop when his plans backfired spectacularly and the balloons blew away - taking the ring with them.
Keeping his prize in sight, Mr Hajji, from Hackney, London, pursued the balloons for two hours in his car across London before giving them up as lost.
He told the Sun newspaper: "I couldn't believe it. I just watched as it went further and further into the air.
"I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me.
"I though I would give Leanne a pin so I could literally pop the question."
While Mr Hajji hopes the ring will still turn up, his girlfriend, as he suspected, was apparently less than impressed.
Florist Helen Savva, of Cockfosters, London, told the newspaper: "I thought he was taking a risk. I said, 'I hope you hold onto it'."
eta: He should have named the balloon 'Lucy.'
