You know, the whole sky-crane landing thing is straight out of science fiction, right? (Not that bouncing down with an airbag isn't, but this is even better.)

Laughing over the Mohawk flight controller. That is one attractive dude, no matter what his amusing hair is doing.

For those who stayed up last night: Curiosity

I just offered someone a bottle of wine in exchange for a taxidermied bullfrog playing an upright bass.

I think my day has reached maximum surreality.

As soon as I get it (I think tonight). I believe it will be an excellent birthday present for my brother (who does in fact play bass).

I like this blog post:

MAAAAAARS!

I’m just sayin’, is all.

I love how crazy Twitter is going tonight. I love that people are gathering at Times Square chanting, “Science! Science! Science!” I think we needed this. Thank you, NASA. Life can suck sometimes… but today, humanity can be proud.

Chanting “Science! Science!" at Times Square sounds like a lot of fun.

Happy birthday, Scrappy!

Teppy, I have drug questions! My doc suspects my weight plateau might be related to my SSRI, Lexapro. She suggested a possible switch to Wellbutrin. I have no info on Wellbutrin so I'm not sure I want to monkey with this just to lose a few pounds.

Also, looks like I'm headed for thyroid issues. I'm going on a pill to stimulate my thyroid and see if that helps as well.

FUCK MY METABOLISM.

Happy Birthday, Scrappy! I hope it's awesome!

Birthday happies, Scrappy!!
