Don't wake up, Nilly! We like you here.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
mean I can't think of a case where head in a jar was portrayed positively in fiction
Hmm. There's probably one in Iain M Banks.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
So, how 'bout that war?
(not trying to pull Fiona's chain... more like moonlit's. Where did she go? <sad face>)

I think moonlit was having connection issues.
Chain not pulled, thanks Nou.

Nou, shouldn't the question be ...
So how 'bout them weapons of mass destruction?
And yup tech hardware probs, some bios glitches, a corrupted browser thingamy, and (as I'm still paid-jobless) bugger all cash to properly fix things. I'm still working on it and hope to have most of it ironed out over the weekend. I'm able to get here in dribs and drabs but the system is pretty unstable and locks up/closes down/blue screens/etc about half a dozen times a day. Very frustrating.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Because I've missed you.

I used to have a poster of that.
Or, something similar.
It seems to have vanished, though. Pwetty.

That's beautiful. I wish it would be just a little bigger so I could use it for wallpaper. I'm using NASA's earthlights picture right now.

If anyone is interested in space/nasa/satellite stuff, the J Track/NASA site is an amazing time waster. (click on J-track 3D)
The number of satellites up there is truly mind-boggling, it's as 'busy as Bourke St.' (Melbourne jargon, insert busiest city street of your choice) You can zoom in/out and rotate the earth to wherever you want to see, plus track the space and ground orbital paths. Whizzy.
And Nou, I check that space pic of the day site every week or so. Some of the Hubble stuff in particular is amazing.
