DARPA's robotic BigDog can now throw shit like it's nobody's business
Cool! I kind of love (and yet am unnerved) by how animalistic its legs look while it's trying to keep balance. Seemed very like a horse there.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I quoted the scene where he proposes to her in the rowboat on the lake as one of my favorite romantic scenes ever
Oh my god YES. (Behind Spencer Tracy's line in Desk Set, "I bet you write wonderful letters." ::swoon::) Best proposal EVER.

I admit to a ridiculous amount of peevishness that I couldn't understand the big payoff line after four entire books developing that romance. I mean, it fits the characters, but seriously, Sayers: not everyone got a classical education!

Does anyone here watch Switched at Birth? On Monday they are airing an episode that is all from the perspective of the deaf characters. While there is music, there is apparently no sound. ASL and subtitles. I'm really looking forward to this.

Yeah, I just read about that. I'm a few episodes behind now, but I'm going to get caught up this weekend so that I can watch that one.

My copy of Five Go to Camp turns out to be a first edition. If it had its dust cover and was in good condition, it would be worth real money. Without them, more like $20. That's the highlight of the day so far.
