Julian, age 7, heard that the Spirit Mars rover was stuck, and offered his idea to fix it. Turns out that's a pretty good idea and one that JPL folks are already considering.
Damn, that is awesome. I hope that kid goes far in life.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That is possibly too much awesome in one paragraph. I hope they do it and that it works so that Julian will have bragging rights for approximately EVER.

Thanks, Amy. So far, very smooth. And I will do.

Your very own bat signal puts the Dark Knight at your beck and call
Who do you call when your workload gets overwhelming? When the sun sets on justice and your boss asks you to work over the weekend? When your coworker just won't stop annoying you? If you're really desperate, Batman. I guess.
This mini replica bat signal will put a wee call out to Batman in your hour of need. Well, I mean, he probably won't see it when it's just shining in your cubicle. And if he did, he'd probably be annoyed if he showed up and just had your petty issues to deal with. But still, it's the bat signal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck w/the move, Jen! Are you excited about the new place?
Tomorrow I'm going to a favorite museum on a free thing organized by my grad school, so that will be fun!

Barbecue, yard sale, Bookcrossing meeting possibilities on Saturday. But I have an actual Flash volunteer opportunity, so I've got to dig back into that!

I just got invited to the ballet for tonight. I don't have other plans, but I'm not wild about ballet, but then I hate to turn down a free ticket for anything. What to do??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Go, and see if there are any hot men you can chat up during intermission?
