The Bachelor's Life

2:00 pm - It's 2. I should get out of bed. Get something to eat.
2:10 pm - Hm. Rice? Cereal?
2:15 pm - Stomach's starting to growl. Really should get something to eat.
2:18 pm - Hmm. Rice = time+dishes. Maybe there's something in the fridge?
2:20 pm - Leftover pasta. Looks grey - but smells okay. Ooh - potato salad from a week ago. Two weeks ago? Let me look at the date - 'use before 4/01'. Perfect. Got the carbs. Now for the protein. Ah - pepperjack cheese. That's 7 gm. Bingo - protein shake!

That was easy.

Post Shutter-Island Conversation

"I wonder if there is a mental institution in Pasadena"
"Yes there is - they call it Caltech."
"Right, and JPL is Ward C"
"They do a good job keeping the patients amused then. 'Sure son - go ahead and think you are driving a rover on Mars. Very good now.' "

Chocolate Dreams

How rocket scientists roll..

11:07 PM
Me: Maybe I could propose an experiment to study the behavior of chocolate in outer space - what if aliens only ate chocolate? These questions are important!
Friend: Yeap, it could be an experiment on martian transfer diets. If astronauts only eat Chocolate for 7 months, what will happen?
Me: I'd volunteer!!
Friend: I'd be a reference for you
Me: Awesome
Friend: Mutiny on the space station
Me: Crazed astronaut claims chocolate stash for herself. Rest of the crew forcefully bundled into next Soyuz capsule and sent home. Public questions NASA's psychological criteria for their astronaut program
Friend: Crazed astronaut leaves Earth's orbit in search of mythical chocolate planet?
Me: the not-so-mythical chocolate planet
a much better place!
where global warming would only make things better!
imagine - you could lie down under a chocolate tree and just wait for the chocolate to melt :)
Friend: hahahaha
"where global warming would only make things better!"
quick, pollute pollute! It's not melted yet!!
polar chocolate caps?
Me: and snow = chocolate puffs!
and volcanoes that spew out molten chocolate.
I think I'd live inside a volcano
