'Serenity'
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.
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.
I can try a search Aims, but my court records access is limited.
An arraignment is where he's formally notified of the charges and given a chance to enter a plea.
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
Ours is just at the library, but we all bring food. Yours sounds funner!
I'm so sorry about Lewis's uncle.

I'm really hoping that this administration can do away with some of the "nah-nah-nah-nah I can't HEAR you" in American politics. Someone fire that fuck.
