Wow. Phoenix made it down safe! It's so ... wow.
My vocabulary is just gone, these days. My only remaining adjectives are basically "awesome" and "sucky".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There's an even more amazing shot of the descent, still to be released. I got a glimpse of it today, and it's really freakin' cool.
So, how about this Phoenix thing? Seems we're working pretty damn well. Neat.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Go team Phoenix! Bunch o' rock stars!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
brenda, oh my oh my. This is shocking.
On other news, I found out yesterday that two of my high school teachers (husband and wife) became cult leaders. And apparently they started doing so while they still were, eh, well, my teachers.
I was always in favor of "live and let live" approach towards faith, but this is making me feel uncomfortable, because I liked one of them very much - she was a great teacher. More so, I studied in a small boarding school, so trust was a big deal.
Laga - thanks for the link! This is the shade I wanted, but the top is problematic for me - straps like that do no good to my shoulders nor cleavage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We're totally the aliens, UFOing the Martian landscape. It's more than weird.
Lor--what did you do on the Phoenix?

Yay geekdom for the win! Mars rocks!
Shir, that IS creepy! You like to think of charismatic teachers using their charisma for...good teaching. Not creepy cultishness. And certainly not possibly recruiting their students into cults. Especially if the students are at a small boarding school where they might be especially susceptible to both cults and charisma.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And apparently they started doing so while they still were, eh, well, my teachers.
Maybe they indoctrinated you and you don't even know it!
