And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In other good news, Aeryn does NOT have pinkeye! (She slept through the night last night and woke up with gunky eyes so DH took her to the doctor. Apparently she just has backed-up tear ducts which is a thing that happens at this age. Which means SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT ON HER OWN OMG.)

Art Crawl!!!

Woo hoo for Aeryn and for you and Ethan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hi guys! Thank goodness for the internet, because we wouldn't have known if the rapture had actually happened or not on Saturday, due to being in Sin City....

I am SO GLAD I took today off work.

Because books.

I can't believe the devastation in Joplin.

Which means SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT ON HER OWN OMG.

Oh, that's a happy night for all involved.

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

That's as good a volcano name as Krakatoa!

Wow, volcanoes cause lightning? Awesome, in a scary way.

So is Iceland like Hawaii - basically made up of mostly volcanoes?

Exactly. It straddles the border between the Atlantic and European plates. In fact, at points on the island, you can see where the line between the two is expanding; it's a canyon in the middle of the island that is growing annually by the same rate as fingernails grow.

OK, somehow the concept of a canyon between plates is creepy. Like you might fall in and disappear into a void.

Much -ma to the sister, Fay--what is British medicine like, would they really send an envelope if it was bad news?!?!
