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

This waste treatment plant is also a ski slope, with lasers

If you're going to build a giant waste incinerator, you might as well design it so that people can ski down its sides. Oh, and you should also make it blow smoke rings, and then shoot those smoke rings with lasers.

This crazy building is basically just a giant shell that Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group is planning on wrapping around a new waste incinerator in Copenhagen that'll turn garbage into energy. Instead of an industrial eyesore, the plant will become a year-round ski park, with everything from a bunny slope to a black diamond run. An elevator will take people from the bottom to the top, and the rest of the complex will form a park and recreation area.

Meanwhile, waste will continue to be turned into energy inside the plant, but instead of just belching out clouds of noxious smoke, a special system on the roof will release huge smoke rings whenever the plant generates another ton of CO2. At night, a heat-seeking laser system will paint the smoke rings with light, either making pretty pictures or using the rings to display pie charts showing the quota of CO2.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My nurse is running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to do too many things, and not doing any of them all that well.

I know yelling FOCUS at her won't help,but I kind of want to anyway.

Yay Perkins! (For last chemo, not the Keystone nurse)

It appears that a surprise huge crunch project that just blossomed today is going to bump me off the vaguely defined project I've been dreading for a couple weeks. Yay?
