Science!

A team of scientists discovered this Invisible galaxy. Note that they did not simply circle a random patch of sky where there is nothing to see, instead they circled a very carefully selected patch of sky where there is nothing to see.

Sick.

Okay, I’m in full on disease mode. This sucks. I blame the flu. Jen and her flu shot have a much milder case of whatever the hell this thing is that’s taken over my body. I shan’t speak ill of her, since she’s been nothing but kind to me, but illness envies health. I hung . . . → Read More: Sick.

Productive!

This weekend has been fun.

We installed new shelves in a couple of closets to expand the amount of horizontal space available for storing junk. Even with the recent great purge, we still have enough junk that some of it is sitting around in piles on the floor. Far better for it to be sitting . . . → Read More: Productive!

Evil drink…

Jen brought this home from her most recent trip. I have to admit that I’m intrigued by the fact that a casino would serve drinks in this. The straw, so I’m told, goes in the belly button.
