You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How does that work? Just spinach on top of pasta? No sauce? The spinach is the sauce?

What Hil said. You cook it in olive oil, and a little butter, maybe some garlic. And then you put the cooked pasta right into the pan with the stuff you're sauteing and mix the pasta up with it.

You can do this with any combination of things you might saute, like mushrooms, or chicken.

Definitely a pinched nerve. My thumb is tingling. Ridiculous that I've been swimming 1.5 miles daily, crawl and I pinch a nerve sitting at my desk.

There are lots and lots of galaxies! They need people to go on Galaxy Zoo to help identify them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I swear Prince made eye contact with me once. I can testify that if he sang at me, I'd pass out.

Prince once put his finger in my friend's mouth... like, during a show reached out and ran his finger down her cheekbone and slipped it into her (understandably) gaping mouth.

My mother once officiated at a Jewish/Presbyterian/Quaker wedding. They didn't so much draw from each tradition as do all three in total -- including gender-equalizing several aspects. The ceremony was two hours and twenty minutes long.

Hah. My dad loves that thing. Classifying galaxies is a PITA.

If you get a chance, ask him what his scariest part of the last servicing mission was. Most HST folk have one.

Name rings a bell, he's probably used the archive and I know him only as a user name.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So, there is disagreement in Scrappyland. Friday my mom arrives, PLUS my brother and his wife are in town for one day on their way back to the Netherlands. My SiL has never seen LA and we are touring them around all day Friday. My idea was to surprise them with lunch on a studio lot. Our friend is working at Sony and can get us a drive-on and we can go to the commissary.

The DH says that the food is not really that good there and that it's just the lot and wouldn't be exciting. But I say, yeah for YOU it wouldn't, you've been on a million lots. Would you guys think that was fun--lunch at a studio commissary--or am I nuts?

I'd vote fun.
