15 hottest geek guy costumes. [link] No Mal, but I love the Spike Spiegel.

I have realised that in just about every dream I had last night someone died. Most of them were me in a TV show, so it was sad, and I was kind of distanced. But one was "real life" and a Buffista died. And in all of them I was the one that discovered the death and had to notify people. And the dreams kept restarting, and each time they restarted I knew ahead of time who would die, but I couldn't say anything before the death was discovered again.

Needless to say, not relaxing.

Oh, I totally want to live in one of these... or should I wait until I have enough money for a hotel?

In Monopoly, I always bought all the utilities and went bankrupt, which is already eerily similar to my real life.

My library has: Christmas Spirit, Pictures of Us, Hot Date, I Love You to Death, and Murder in the Hamptons.

Wow. The Brooklyn library has Flirter avec l'amour : roman / Amy _______ ; traduit de l'américain par Agathe Nabet.

We may be even more alone in the universe than we thought

Two scientists propose that the jump from bacteria to complex life might be much riskier than previously imagined. Even on planets with earthlike conditions, plant and animal life would therefore be incredibly rare.

Yeah, I've always wondered about that. Life originated on Earth very quickly (in evolutionary terms)(maybe a few million years?) once the Earth was ready for life, but it took billions of years of more evolution before we got complex, multi-cellular life. So the jump to multi-cellular life may be a much more rare event in the universe when compared to the formation of single-celled life.

After three nights of not sleeping well, I decided to take two ativan last night, so I slept like the dead from a little after 10:00 to a little after 5:00, and then off and on until 6:45. It was AWESOME.

Also, it's Friday!

My alarm clock was broken this morning. By which I mean for some reason kripkat did not jump on my chest and meow in my face at 7 in the morning. We are still trying to figure out this mystery!
