if you suddenly see a post with my name on it containing "ljiiiiiiiid;fsdliepw,akewlkd" you'll know I fell asleep on my keyboard.
Thanks for the heads-up. I would've assumed you'd gotten a cat.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For physics geeks: A New Take on Warping Spacetime
As in warp drive. As in faster-than-light travel. The article discusses a recent paper on how it might (in theory) be possible. It involves messing around with higher dimensions....
eta:
How fast might a warp-driven spacecraft go? Obousy and Cleaver work out an upper limit on such a velocity (based upon quantum field theory) of 10^32 c, c being the speed of light. Mind boggling to be sure, but tempered by the fact that the energy required for such a velocity is significantly greater than that available in the observable universe. Another of those ’small problems of engineering,’ as Robert Forward used to call them…

I'll hopefully catch up on my sleep on shabbat. No rest for the belated-in-their-deadline, or something.
Stop being so hard on my Nilly! Isn't rest from the everyday routine the whole point of shabbat?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm sorry, Burrell.
Dinner was grilled salmon (with lemon slices), grilled zucchini(with a bit of olive oil and Mrs. Dash) and grilled corn on the cob (coated with butter, cinnamon and brown sugar).

I would've assumed you'd gotten a cat.
They won't let us have pets inside the university buildings, and one of my roommates is allergic, so I can't have any at home either. It'll have to be my head.
Isn't rest from the everyday routine the whole point of shabbat?
Oh, of course! So *until* then I'll have to cram as much stuff-I-have-a-deadline-for-and-I'm-way-too-behind-on as possible.

I'm sorry someone you're close to got bad cancer news, Burrell.
We're still waiting to find out about Dad's special snowflake version of NHL. We've both moved from worried to annoyed. It's like his mutant cells are obstreperous sophomores who refuse to pick a major already.
In happier news, I got a promotion and a raise today. This makes me much happier about taking on a new car loan in a couple of weeks.

Dude, yer awesome!!
Sorry the news is muted by the worries over your dad's NHL. Even if the initialism did make me go, huh, he gets his own hockey league?
