That sounds like a good day Spidra, extra glad for you
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Definitely good to get out of the house, beth. Esp in these days of waning light.

Oh, I forgot! The fact that rain was predicted made me take out my hand-sewn racing jacket and finally stay stitch the wrist hems, which have been unfinished for nearly 10 years now.

Onerous task: completed!

Speaking of which:
CSULB Masters of Fine Arts student puts together an exhibit on the Art of Procrastination.
(trivia: CSULB is one of the only 2 colleges I applied to.)

Oh, I'm sure you could compose a letter or memo on the plane that needed doing.
Or, you know, just wait for the next randomly generated event.
(The parameters I'm using are: Between two weeks and a month, weekdays only.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What are people doing this weekend?
I'm going to go home, have some soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, and crawl into bed.

(Not saying he wasn't trying to start something. But he didn't create a scene in the airport.)
This. Plenty of other people have also used phones to record stuff happening at airports. That did not cause a problem. Tyner is clearly annoyed in the audio but he's basically polite. He tells the first screener that "It's nothing personal" while disagreeing with his argument that security is the only thing that matters.
I do understand that when you just want to get through and move on, anyone who slows things down gets an eyeroll because, ugh. But I think there's a difference between the people who are just clueless and the ones who say "No, actually, this is not okay, and here's why." I admire people who resist the social pressure to just go along with things, 'cause I probably would have failed the Milgram experiment.
