This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just walked into a plate glass window and bent my glasses all to hell....

That happened to me with a door-net once, but the one time I actually managed to bent (and partly break - a lens popped out of place) my glasses was when I needed them most: it was my second day of my US trip, I'm all out and about and oh - without a spare pair, because hey - it's only a month, right? What could possibly happen in a month? - and humm, let's just say. Me? Tough. Seattle's sidewalks? TOUGHER.

ION, Nilly says hey to all.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Pretty pictures of Jupiter! [link]

The second picture down, of Europa rising over Jupiter, always reminds me of the Death Star.

Hey, beisbol-type people: is there an example of a men's game where a pitcher was about to get a no-hitter and the opposing team decided to let him?

(I'd close the tag, but we'd all know that's a lie.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Am so sleepy even after large latte. May need to go home. Srlsy.

Poorly place walls of glass and doorway combos are a menace.

Weekend - playdate for mac tomrrow then zipcar for some shopping.

Sunday - church then maybe movie at home.

I'm not aware of any, juliana. It's my sense that at least in professional baseball, a player who did that would get in trouble with their manager/team owner/league, so if it did happen, they wouldn't be overt about it.

Me, too. I started off well today, all jazzed after a morning run and two big mugs of coffee. That sure didn't last.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm feeling all sleepy too.

Weekend Saturday -- Trip to Waterloo Iowa maybe staying the night, maybe not. Sunday -- Mowing the yard, clearing brush, cleaning, maybe start working on fixing up the spaceship.

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

My 'net connection has ground to terrible slowness. :(

My weekend plans involve attending a brunch and I'd hoped seeing that damned musical with the krav instructor, but I think I missed out on tickets. I hate not being there for her. Maybe I'll send her flowers.
