Oh fuck - another time-waster. It could even be a rogue black hole o' time....

Penguin science fiction covers past and present

The Art of Penguin SF is a beautiful thumbnail gallery of the covers of every (?) science fiction novel published by Penguin UK, starting with the 1935 edition of Butler's Erewhon. I grew up on these, and just seeing them there makes me want to tile my bathroom with them.

Can't see or hear the word rogue without appending demon hunter.

Guy in line in front of me at Dunkin' ordered a blueberry bagel, and my brain said, "Eat a muffin, whitey."

This place stays with a person, I tell you what.

Can't see or hear the word rogue without appending demon hunter.

Me neither.

In fact, I was tempted to make the following joke:

"...rogue black hole."

"What's a rogue black?"

But then I realized it made no sense.

Obama = geeky awesome: [link].

That was for the Monsters vs. Aliens movie trailer. Owen still has his 3-D glasses.

And he's slounging!

Probably habit for him--not wanting to block anyone else's view in movie theatres. Dammit, he's the prez! He can totally do that!

Odd day at work. A perfectly harmless co-worker told me I looked hot. I thought he was making a room temperature comment/joke somehow - that is how harmless he is and the comment was, but odd word choice.

Some dept in the company decided we all need hand santizers, so small bottles were bought for every single person. Several of us won't use them, several others already have bottles of the stuff ont heir desks. seems like an odd use of money.

I am somewhat of a blueberry evangelist, but even I don't think they belong in bagels.

Heh. Emmett's school made it into the paper. They're doing an original musical parody based on The Producers, called....The Directors!

Cool!

That reminds me, I need to E-mail Emaryn's principal. Emaryn would like to have something mentioned in the school newsletter and she knows I make the newsletter so I need to see if I can slip it in.

I do not have the energy today to engage in a 30 minute discussion about how we're doing this all wrong and have been for the last 10 years and we should really want to do it right but you know what WE ALWAYS HAVE THIS ARGUEMENT AND THAT SHIP HAS FUCKING SAILED TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO. This is what we have. Tell the goddamned mission office, 10 days before commissioning, in this economy, that you want 10 dedicated developers to rewrite the entire system from scratch so we can do it right after 20 fucking years, and THEN you can come to me and object to the kludge because it isn't "doing it right." Can it.

OMG, this is so awesome! The Simpsons theme song, sung a cappella. Check This Out!
