Your Help Wanted to Name Two of Pluto's Moons
I seem to be in a surly mood today--perhaps because it's Monday. So far, this is what I've come up with for names of Pluto's two moons.
Maybe I should not be naming moons today.
Once again, buffistas to the rescue. Yesterday's melt down felt like a Prednisone side effect, but without the Prednisone. Oy.
Now I'm trying to decide if I really want to go to the memorial. I have that emotional hangover thing going on and I'm pretty sure going will set me off again. But I want to be able to say goodbye and all that.
Snow day. Probably 3 inches so far, and not yet to the time of day when it's really supposed to start. They cancelled school after we'd have already gotten there, so it was damn good thing we started off when we did.
AAnd my Vaio died. Which I can probably fix, but not until I can leave the house. Which is a bitch.
But I am consoling myself by setting up my giant ass motherfucking new imac. Which includes playing my itunes library through my studio speakers.
Oh, well, seize the day, right? Can't do anything about the fact I can't do anything, so I'm just going to have a damn good day.
Oh, this is inspirational: an entire gallery of beautifully-photographed women with gray hair. So lovely: [link]
Isn't there some way to leverage wasting time into a career?
Yes. Reality shows. You will an attention-grabbing sex tape to get you started, though. I'm happy to consult for you on this matter.
I need more sleep. This is just not working for me. I'm not getting to sleep before midnight, and I need more sleep.
May be time to switch back to Ambien from Lunesta, but I wasn't missing the gibberish periods Ambien causes.
tommy, I think the timing would be a little difficult - you could conceivably, maybe bolt through an entire year's RCIA in the next few weeks just in time to get communion, confession and confirmation at this year's Easter vigil (your parents had you baptized at some point, didn't they? Only one of those to a customer, so you'd just skip ahead to the next steps), but getting from there to ordination to cardinality is kinda no-cuts-allowed, and since the current guy is retiring in two and a half weeks they'll probably have managed to choose a successor at least a couple days before you can claim your hat and crook and declare your candidacy.
And, sadly, you still have a better chance of being the next Pope, or any Pope, than I do.

Yes! That is what snow days are for!
Yay, woo woo nurse!
We do not have snow. We have the dreariest rain you can imagine. I did, however, just see a bluebird.
Re: naming the moons of Saturn
The names they propose [link] include three rivers, a place and a coin. Aren't they supposed to be people's names? I could go with Cerberus, as the gatekeeper to Hades, but rivers? Of the list, the people who have been to Hades, making them more appropriate companions to the god of the underworld, are Eurydice, Orpheus and Persephone. It seems strange to me that Persephone hasn't been used already. I'd think she deserves more than a large rock.

None of her friends have a rock this big.

I'd give you my Pope vote if I had a Pope vote to give. I'm not sure why one needs a penis for poping. Do you capitalize pope when using it as a verb? I'm not sure about that.
