Sending tons of birthday wishes to Shir, especially since the first time she had this birthday a couple of weeks ago it went very wrong and failed her completely. Wishing you a joyful birthday do-over!
Whither my motivation? A rare and precious piece of equipment whose arrival was doubtful (and whose failure to arrive would have been a huge black mark against me) has just arrived, in perfect shape, and my boss is happy and the world is rosy and now I really just want to say, "All done!" and skip merrily off to the beach or something.
Fortunately, there's still some proofreading needed on Other Boss's medical journal submission, so I have something fun to do with the rest of my day. Because I am white, and not only cannot resist an opportunity to proofread but regard the prospect with positive glee.
Jesse! I made some couscous salad last night inspired by you. SO GOOD! I brought for lunch but my office was having a rare, spontaneous lunch outing so I couldn't miss that.
I ate a baconator for lunch because I already felt full of fail. Now I'm ooogy and full of fail.

Nice.
What's a baconator? I think I want one.

I'm sure you're not really full of fail. You've got some little kids around, bum some little kid hugs off of them, little kid hugs always make me feel better.

It's like if you shot a pig into a cow and then grilled the carnage up and melted cheese onto it. I'm sure it's good, but I'm too intimidated by it to get one.

Got $2K? Here's Kirk's Chair.
For the geek who has everything: CBS Consumer Products announced that it will sell a full-size, operational replica of the chair piloted by Capt. James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek TV show. And it'll only set you back $2,000.
The officially licensed product features a working swivel design, light-up controls and sound effects from the series (intercom hail, photon torpedoes, etc.).
The chair also issues snippets of dialogue from the show, including the famous "Space: The final frontier" prologue and William Shatner's voice uttering such deathless phrases as "Lt. Uhura, open a channel to all decks" and "Kirk to engineering: Scotty, report!"
The chair will be available online and at retail outlets in time for the holidays.
Olympic photo commentary - this is a BAD. ASS. photo. V. nice. Christine Brinker on Germany's skeet-shooting team.

That's EXACTLY what it tastes like. With mayo and ketchup. It's not for the faint of heart. Literally.
