'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMG, finally done for the day. Had a party for the drama team to celebrate a successful contest last week, and it was fun. But combine being sick most of the week with kids excessively squirrely because they have next week off, and I am pooped.
And, I need to get unpooped! I'm seeing HP with Kathy tonight!
I did not take enough notes during the 1hr 45min meeting. So now I need to sit down with my boss and get more info. Oy. Eyes crossed.
I actually had a really productive day and tackled a work project I've been stressing about and it took some doing but was really so much less onerous than avoiding it for the past three days has been. (Today I was up against a deadline and had no choice.) Knocked some other to-dos off and then skated out of work an hour early.
Have fun, Kathys!
I'm seeing HP with Kathy tonight!
Emmett and I are going tonight!
I went to pick him up at school and I saw a girl go by in a witch outfit and thought, "Huh. Little late for Halloween." Then I saw another girl go by wearing a class-tie and realized, "Ahhhhh...." they're all dressed up for Harry Potter tonight.
...December 8, 2010!
Cool.
Awesome.
Congrats, beth!
Got up early in order to go to an early showing of HP7. Rode my bike up to Old Town Pasadena. Nearly didn't make it in time even though I started early because I forgot my bike helmet and had to bike back for it.
HP7 pt1 was good. The best one yet except for Azkaban, in my opinion.
Then I looked around Paseo Colorado because I'm still trying to familiarize myself with all the stuff that has changed since I moved away. Went to Gelson's to see what that was about. Talked with a produce guy for a while, who was impressed that I kinda knew my fruit. Picked up some stuff then took a busier route back so that I could see more of town.
Now it's Mexican hot chocolate with spiced rum. Mmmm.
That sounds like a good day Spidra, extra glad for you
I want one of these:
The smallest water bottle ever made
This week researchers announced they'd used a microscopic "carbon cage" to hold a single water molecule. How did they do it?
Nature blog The Great Beyond sums up:
Many researchers have used the carbon spheres called fullerenes to surround molecules. An international team has now taken the crucial next step and designed a ‘stopper' that can plug an open fullerene but can also be removed to allow a molecule of water in and out. In the future such 'molecular vials' could be used to transport radioactive atoms or small molecules for medical purposes such as imaging, they suggest.
