And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

In news of the cool, there is now a GoogleSky to compliment the GoogleEarth app. (I'd direct link to the demo but it'd blow up my dialup. Someday I will get the app for real!!!)

And I have insider knowlege of improvements to come because I Have People. Neenerneener. Now if only I could play with it at home. Hrmph.

Also? Tutoring reminded me I suck at probability problems. Even the basic ones. I joked to T that she taught me prob tonight.

Trust my rage

paging Susan or other military history buffs...

Why does a lieutenant general outrank a major general? Is there some sort of historical reason for this?

Off to check wikipedia next, but I always try the hivemind first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In news of the cool, there is now a GoogleSky to compliment the GoogleEarth app.

I just saw that and thought of you! (PS: complement. Unless GoogleSky looooooves GoogleEarth.)

You people should be thanking your lucky stars that me and shrift aren't doing a w&p for this MCR streaming thing. IJS.

well, wikipedia answered my question but the iPhone wont let me copy and paste.

I'm pretty sure the GoogleSky people love GoogleEarth! Because of them, they get to write on the walls. But yeah, that's one I rarely remember to correct.

That's a really weird spelling of "sad and depressed."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just NOW? Netflix him seasons 3-7, STAT!

Maybe for his birthday. Right now I can nab two eps a day in syndication so he's catching up.

Though it's very funny to hear him begging, "Who killed Mr. Burns?! C'mon, tell me!"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

They fixed the air flow/air conditioning in my lab, and now it's at "meat locker" levels. sigh...
