'Objects In Space'
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.
Sunday is football and lots of texting with Juliana about tight ends and such.
Mmmmm, Donald Lee. Though I love me some wide receivers. And then there's the awesome defensemen.
javachik, I just might join you in Pacifica at one point. We Shall See about a) the weather and b) the status of my homework.
Tomorrow is writers group chapter holiday party
Yup. Mine too. Sorta don't want to go because I feel like a miserable loser who's cranky and doesn't want to be around people, but it's at Carrabba's and I'm going to have Shrimp Damien.
Tonight is big family dinner at one of Lewis' cousins. His uncle who's been battling leukemia for four years just found out that his most recent treatment didn't take and he and his doctors have decided that's it. So the prognosis right now is two weeks to four months. Have a crowd of thirty for dinner and I have to make a vegetable. I'm doing roasted asparagus with red peppers.
Damn, Barb. Sorry about your husband's cousin. Fuck leukemia.
Weekend:
I'm taking a half-day today, so I'll be outta here around 2:30 and heading home to clean my apartment and do laundry. Tomorrow is working at the bookstore from 10-4 and then doing some shopping there (employee appreciation week is until Sunday--we get an extra 10% off our regular discount, so 40% off of everything except DVDs/CDs, which are 30%). Then I head home and get ready to go out to a friend's Xmas party in the city.
I'll finally put up my tree on Sunday.
Awesome toy: Toy implosion kit
American Toy & Invention is selling a construction kit that's really a destruction kit. The goal at the end is to implode the building you make. And then repeat. Brilliance.
Lawyer-istas.
How does it work if, simply out of sick curiosity, one wanted to find out what one's boss had an arraignment and pretrial for?
What exactly, would an arraignment be used for?
NASA has gone rogue!
Does Obama Have a Problem at NASA?
Basically, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin has supposedly forbidden NASA employees from talking to the Obama transition team without getting clearance first.
Apparently Griffin is mad because Obama is considering scrapping the "back to the Moon" program....
Griffin denies this.
Hugh Jackman to host the Oscars.
Here's hoping for some naughty Aussie humor. Or at least that the gold lamé pants from The Boy From Oz make an appearance.

You can search at least some criminal records on Lexis or Westlaw. I would offer to do it for you, but I can't do it without incurring an extra charge.
I would also Google, in case it made the news.
I am possibly finishing my Christmas shopping this weekend (possibly just continuing it), doing some other shopping, sleeping a lot (god willing), and probably going to a going-away party tomorrow night.
