OTOH, identifying galaxy shapes on galaxyzoo? Perfect sick activity.
And astronomers love you for this.
(My dad does a lot of galactic morphology stuff.)
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

What is even happening?
Can anyone explain the mystery of how Moxie soda is still being sold after more than a century despite tasting like it does? I like old-fashioned sasparilla drinks and thought I'd give it a try, but I can't imagine anyone willingly choosing to drink that swill over water.
Drinking Moxie is the soda pop world's equivalent of bungee jumping. You think you're going to die, and you're so thrilled that you don't, that you just have to try it again.

I ended up making an enormous spinach and veggie salad and topping it with turkey kielbasa.

I made chicken & dumplings.

Scott made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, and I made my way to the table.

I made chicken & dumplings.
That's not exactly the French Laundry! (Though I'm sure it was tasty.)

If I kept eating like that, I'd get the gout!

Bring me the quinine sorbet and nobody gets hurt!

I ate a wrap from Trader Joes. Well, half.
I'm kinda weirded out by the funeral/memorial thing. I was definitely the most peon and removed from him there. The thing is, I really fucking respected the guy, even after only really having interacted directly for the last 18 mo. or so. So that's why I went, despite feeling like an intruder. I mean, I got to tell his father and sister that I liked the meetings in which I got called to the carpet because he so clearly cared and knew as much as me, and I'm supposed to be the expert. And while I'm really private, the whole community-recognizing a loss thing seemed important to me. He knew my name. He knew what my role was. He didn't know me beyond that. He's a huge part of the reason this thing called Hubble still hits front page.
I had to acknowledge that. Even as a peon.

Our wings are not tired.
It's called paying your respects, and you did the right thing by doing that.
Health ~ma sent out to the sickos.
I should be asleep, but I am sitting listening to the wind. With my windows open for the first time this season. Ah, fresh air.
