So I assume it's Monday and I'm at work, instead of me dreaming this. Bah.
ION, the final Space Shuttle servicing mission to Hubble is scheduled to launch today at 1:01 EDT (10:01 board time).
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 still can't wrap my head around eating a vending machine cheeseburger, though. ::shudders::
Ahahaha- that reminds me of the Newsradio episode when Bill McNeil was addicted to the nasty sandwiches in the vending machine and freaked out about them take them away.

Speaking of Craiglist-- why are all entertainment center's hideously ugly? New, used, inexpensive or expensive, they are all terrible looking to me. I know this is partially because I can't stand "oak" grained things, or really anything that is "fake wood" AND I don't like black lacquer AND I don't like real wood that is "country- style", but still...
The Bob-whites of the Glen were totally the Gossip Girls of their day. Except suburban and goody-goody.
Heh. It's a little 90210, with the contrast between the fabulously wealthy and the just regular. Also, in retrospect, I totally thought they were out in the country, but probably not, huh?
Just in time for me to go back to work, my dog appears to have gotten over her 48 hours of diarrhea. Woot. I'm sure eating three meals in a row of white rice doesn't hurt.
In other news, apparently Roxana Saberi has been released by the Iranian government! That's excellent news.

Well, Bobby did get bitten by a cottonmouth or something (and Trixie had to suck the venom out), so they had to be kind of in the country. I always thought they somehow lived on a nature preserve (didn't they go patrolling for poachers ?)
Trixie was a young teen living just outside the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson, in the Hudson River Valley area of New York. She lived at Crabapple Farm, which had been in her family for either three or six generations (this varies between books), with her parents and three brothers, Brian, Mart, and Bobby. The first book establishes her friendship with lonely, sheltered rich girl Honey Wheeler whose family has just moved into the Manor House next door and soon the girls are embroiled in their first case.
