Well, I'm apparently quite behind the times.

I didn't even know we had a second moon - Cruithne - and now we got a third. J002E3. Which may be gone already.

Now the tsunami, I'm told, knocked us for a loop. We lost a second. Or gained one. Or we shoulda had one or lost one, but din't. Not quite sure how this goes, but it's weird ( Read more... )

A Christmas Wish

Never have I said to anyone the words, "You could be so much more!"

Never have they even come to mind, but I decided against speaking them aloud.

In fact, there are few words that have ever been said to me (repeatedly) that I would consider it more foreign to say to another than those. And it's not that I don't know many people I feel don't get ( Read more... )

So it's the very end of the day at work yesterday.

Ummm... the great mole rat? I thought I was weird! (And shouldn't that be "The Great Mole Rat"?)

Looked up a listing of phobias. Wondering if I could find a name for my recording device thingie. (Haven't yet, but then I've not read 'em all yet, either ( Read more... )

There's a commercial out right now where a woman is saying something along the lines that she's going to vote for Kerry. But when discussion turns to politics she's afraid that if she states a view, she'll lose clients. And that this is a big issue for her. To realize that America is in such a state right now that we must be afraid for our ( Read more... )

This is usually my place for "real topics". I find an article or think of an issue that I have feelings about, and stick to more focused thoughts about it while I write. However since I've taken an extended time away and want to update, and since I'm kinda avoiding focusing on topics at the moment, I'm gonna let myself go off into more of a free- ( Read more... )
