Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

hivemind question -- In moving, I found several disposable cameras that I never developed. Their expiration dates are as old as 2001. I'm curious as to what is on them, but don't want to spend money to develop them if they're not going to work because of age. Is it worth it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They certainly won't make you pay for printing if they can't print, and that's most of the cost. Developing the print, even if it fails, is way cheap.

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

Perkins, I have total clock envy! That's adorable.

Took the kids to JPL today. It was so much fun, despite the heat and the occasional cranky. Isaac wowed a few JPLers with his knowledge of various rockets and the missions they flew.

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

Isaac + rockets=extra adorable.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wish I had roof access in this building so I could line-dry. (Once the surrounding trees stop sexing it up, that is.)

(And technically I do have roof access but walking on it voids the warranty so we're not supposed to go up there.)

I've cleaned the top of my desk and also re-arranged the network connections so that the desktop computer connects by wire to the internet instead of the WAN, which makes it much speedier -- Vista seems to be having major difficulties with wireless connections now, as my iBook is as speedy as it ever was.

I have done a load of laundry and scrubbed out my bathtub this morning. I suspect that's all that I will accomplish today aside from feeding myself.
