I keep seeing this story on CNN's website about UFO folks storming Area 51. I can't help but think that if the government actually was secretly studying alien technology someplace that Area 51 would be the last place they would be doing it at.

Our wings are not tired.

Exactly, I thought the same thing.

Another day where my productivity is zilch, at least there is still time to do something about it!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Guess who came home to discover a forgotten soda can had exploded in his freezer Sunday night? I've never seen the whole top of a can come loose and apparently shoot upwards like a combination rocket/water weasel before.

Oh well, I suppose it was due for a good scrubbing anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(short on one side, flopped to the side) for even longer. I do worry that it's getting old/boring/out of touch

I sure hope not, because this is my One True Haircut and I'm never going back!

Twitter asked me if I wanted to go back to the classic interface and I said YES but I have a feeling they won't let me keep it for much longer if the new look is rolling out wide.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I didn't get a choice to go back to the old interface! No fair.

What is even happening?

Twitter pushed the new one on me a few months ago, then let me go back.

I later accidentally opted for the new one when a click went astray, and I found a way back, but I can't remember what it was.

I keep waiting for it to happen permanently. I hated the new Twitter when I tried it out. Everything is in the wrong place for no obvious reason.

Because books.

They moved the sidebar to the right! Wow, what a change. Everything else so far just looks ... prettied up. But I haven't looked at it too closely. It's still the old version on my phone, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got on the elevator, and a guy was on there actively removing the panel with the buttons in it. I am sure he was a building employee, but it just seemed like I was suddenly in a heist movie.

All the buttons were taken away from our elevators over the weekend! We've got one of those systems now where you tell it what floor and it tells you what elevator to go to.
