'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But Obama has picked up a full twelve more endorsements today, running the gamut from the sublime (Carter) to the ridiculous (Kwame Kilpatrick), so there are certainly things afoot.
I'm getting next to nothing done today because I keep checking the superdelegates open thread at Daily Kos for new people.
TPM is pretty good too. [link]
I'd spread bullshit stories about how, as a Marvel fan, Obama needs a DC fan to balance the ticket.
Ooh. And then they can get RandomGuy to make some videos.
And lest we forget, the primary's not the only game in town:
"Once you abandon the artificial four-games-to-two framework that the media has tried to impose on the series, a very different picture emerges, with the Celtics leading by a mere 549 points to 539. Yes that’s right, the margin between the two teams is less than one percent—a tie, for all intents and purposes. This is probably the closest Conference Finals in NBA history, though I will thank you not to check on that."
The sun is now at it's worst angle. Extremely difficult to see my computer screen now. By 3pm it should be past the skylight, though, and life will be good again.
Now? Eyestrain like whoa.
Lunch was good. I ate at Citizen Cupcake (a Citizen Cake offshoot) in the Virgin Megastore and flipped through Wm. Gibson's Spook Country and ate a fancy weenie (smoked bier. Not a patch on the bockwurst you get at Schroeder's, but still delicious.) with coarse ground mustard, cibatta bread and good sauerkraut.
Grocery shopping has taken up all my energy, so I think that my dinner may be spaghetti rather than the cold noodles with peanut sauce and seitan that I'd planned.
You know, I am going to order pizza for dinner. I haven't had it in ages, and there will be leftovers for tomorrow, which I can shove in my piehole when I'm home for 5 minutes to change and then go to a concert.
AND SHE'S MARRIED TO A *CANADIAN*
We all know the danger there!
Ok, that family? Riddled with foreigners. IJS.
How's he going to even get a security clearance? He won't be able to read his own briefings.
This is awesome!
Nanoengineers created blackest-ever black metal
Boston College Physicist Willie J. Padilla and a team from Boston College and Duke Univ. have nanoengineered a material that absorbs all the light that strikes it. How much more black could it be? None more black.
The team designed and engineered a metamaterial that uses tiny geometric surface features to successfully capture the electric and magnetic properties of a microwave to the point of total absorption.
Plus the article has bonus Spinal Tap reference!
