Liese is a warrior, pass it on.

Oh, and in minor "I didn't respond to this while I was away" news, I think the pots & pans mail dream is highly funny, particularly because the US mail system does not come to my house in any form. There is a tiny local post office, but it doesn't deliver, only has boxes, and it's manned by a little old lady who sits in a booth. So it's not too far off.

She also runs the honor system library in the community room next door, where we vote, so I spend all my voting line time browsing the books. The honor system is so funny because you take a book, bring it back when you want, or bring back a different one if you liked the one you borrowed. There's no recordkeeping at all. My neighborhood.

Also! My eyebrow has finally stopped twitching. I dunno if it was the magnesium or getting through the worst of this last time or what, but I'm glad to have passed it on through the internets. (Sorry, Dana.)

I'm reading the Giants post-game thread from last night after a desultory loss.

To cheer themselves up they've started posting animated gifs of Corgis doing adorable Corgi things.

It's very cheering! Corgis trotting together on treadmills! Corgis's getting So EXCITED about dinner! Corgis lolling on their back as they get their belly fur vacuumed.

To sum up: Corgis!

Bomb Disposal Robot is Ring Bearer

The bride is a mechanical engineer who helped design the Dragon Runner unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). So when Laura got married, it was only appropriate for the little robot to take part. As the ring bearer! The Dragon Runner wore a tiny tuxedo and carried the ring in while the song “Mr. Roboto” played. A grand time was had by all. You can see a video about the robot (but not the wedding) at Electronic Design.

Then there's the guy who forged a wedding ring by hand... from a meteorite!

That was impressive. Made me think of Sokka's Space Sword.

ION, I spilled BBQ sauce on my shirt.

Sue is a massively influential tweeter!

Yes! my many hundreds of followers hang on every word I tweet about how tired I am every morning, how bad my hair is, and what weird thing Oz the cat has eaten that day. #completelybaffledthatanyonefollowsmeontwitter

Yay Liese, for fighting the good fight!

And yay msbelle for finding money waiting to be deposited. Extra money is always useful.

In my retail news from the week: I dithered too long and they were out of last holiday's OPI Best of the Best mini polish kit at the first Ulta I went to. But! I dithered just long enough, so I got it at the second Ulta, but for five bucks off, whoot. Forgot to buy the Zoya Remove, though.

I also bought what I thought was a great deal at TJ Maxx, the travel mug/french press I've been wanting. Only it isn't. It's just a french press. Now, it'll be better to have it, because it's plastic and insulated and will be good for travel. But it is not an all-in-one mug. Pout. So no wonder it was so much cheaper. And now I still have to buy the mug.
