I'm pretty sure crack has Mc Donald's fries in it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm a space geek too, but more of the 60s variety.
We went to an astronomy program last night, and because the weather was so perfect (cloudless, virtually no humidity), we saw a shitload of stars (and one planet): Jupiter and 3 of its moons; the M13 globular cluster in Hercules; the M11 open cluster (called "Flying Duck"); the double star Albireo; a double-double star that I'm almost sure was Epsilon Lyrae (I can't remember for sure); Lyra; Vega (within Lyra); the M57 ring nebula within Lyra (it looked like a green donut!); and Andromeda.
One of the volunteers, while pointing out Arcturus with the naked eye, told us how the light from the star was used to activate the lights of the 1933 World's Fair, which is pretty fucking cool.
The observatory has, among other telescopes, a Clark telescope that's over 100 years old.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So there are too many smart women who cannot find mates? In theory this would eventually be a self-correcting problem. In the short term I suppose there are three solutions, make fewer smart, ambitious women, make more smart, ambitious men, or more gay women.
Gud, you truly are an evil genius.
We're also a space geek family. Isaac's fascination with all things outer space has been going on for about a year now. He's still my Rocket Boy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Death to Microsoft Word.

I endorse this statement. (Fuck off, .docx format. Just FUCK OFF.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The new Word is so cool! When I want to create a new document, it asks me if I want to make a new blog post!

“Not dead yet!”
(Fuck off, .docx format. Just FUCK OFF.)
I'll concur with this.
However, once my clueless-assed self reset her preferences, I'm dealing okay with it. I'm still not crazy about how Word 2008 interacts with Spaces in Leopard and it has a disconcerting as hell habit when, I unplug the big monitor from the laptop and open the laptop to use it, whatever document I've had open has shrunk to the size of a postage stamp and the background has turned tobacco brown and it won't respond to the cursor.
Requires my quitting and restarting Word, which is a pain, but I can live with it. This laptop in general has just been really quirky. I suppose one quirky computer out of a half dozen isn't so bad.
