I was born in '75. I grew up on COSMOS. I work in the field. My dad gave NdGT tours of his observatory and declined to yell at him for Pluto- which was discovered by a guy I grew up playing chinese checkers with- and...yeah, my experience in astronomy was personally touched by these several generations, this just was such a fitting acceptance of the torch as well as a promise. I'm a sap.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Bulby knobs.
I'm not actually sure! I saw it last week at Second Chance but I don't remember and now it's under a tarp on the porch.

Because books.
"This is the family I made!" is the Buffista mission statement.
Indeed. And it's still good.

I like the free standing tub with the surround, though it looks a bit sarcophagusy. Claw foots look like a bitch to clean around, and the ones that taper to the floor make me think unhappy thoughts about laboratories.

Ooh, black exterior/white interior tub with the white walls behind it looks very pretty. I don't think I have seen that before.

not your mom's socks.
I am desperate to watch COSMOS and we cannot get it here without cable. No local affiliate that reaches the antennae. I am hoping it will go to amazon prime or iTunes or something. Quickly.
All this talk of bathtubs. I hate ours with a passion. It would barely qualifiy as a proper depth tub, even in the 1950s. It's basically an elongated, leaktastic shower base with ambitions. It's metal so it cools fast. It's darned uncomfortable to read in. And the entire plumbing system is equally sketchy. Every time we play 'let's look at houses even though we're not able to move' I judge every one by the master bath. Pretty much, everything else in the house could be rotten and covered with weeds as long as the bathtub is a soaking tub.
... with bookshelves.

Hubby's been looking forward to Cosmos. I hope he feels good enough to enjoy it.
edit: My serious boyfriend in college gave me a copy of the Cosmos book for a Christmas present. I still have it. And now Hubby loves the new one. Their birthdays are the same day and year. It's a tad freaky.

Neil just made me cry.
Me too.
