Happy iPad Day, amych!
Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just asked my boss if I could have the rest of the week off, after getting news of the biggest grant either one of us has ever gotten. Sadly, the answer was no.
Surely there should at least be fireworks.
I had one of those dreams that seem to last forever. In it, my computer died, and I couldn't find a computer to research buying a new computer. I went to a library, but the sign in system for the computers was complicated and involved going to several floors and I got lost. (I get lost in dreams a lot.) Then I was in some kind of office and I asked several people who weren't using their computers if I could borrow them, but the people said "No."
I need captions naming the people in the Band Aid 30 video. I only recognize the people who were around for the first one. Also, are they singing "feed the world" or alternating between that and "heal the world"? The latter would make more sense. If you haven't seen the video yet, be warned. The beginning is... grim.
There was a thing on Buzzfeed that had screencaps with everybody labeled, plus the lyrics.
Oh! Here's the most amazing thing I learned over the weekend: The illustrator of Harry the Dirty Dog [link] (among many others) is in the same unit as my father at the nursing home!
Harry the Dirty Dog! Those books were huge favorites of mine, and my kids! Aw.
Congratulations on the grant, too, Jesse, although it not getting the rest of the week off isn't as great.
Aw. Be Nice to Spiders, I remember that one.
Congrats on the grant, Jesse!
Thanks, y'all!
