I've been on a writing hiatus for a while, and look what I've missed. Blogspot has a new look! Several in fact - I had to choose between 'Awesome.inc' and 'Ethereal' and 'Travel'. I went with one of the travel options - cool layout - although maybe an eyesore to read.
I know at some point I will start to miss my masterpiece customized layout, with the explosive mind-numbing colors that blinded the reader without warning.
Maybe it's time to grow up.

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

Rickety Science
My date to the JPL holiday dance bailed on me because he had to fly to Houston for work.
I'd asked him to tell Houston he had a problem.
But I guess the world really only cares about Apollo-13 sized calamities.

Eye for an I
What do you do when post scripts such as 'Sent from my iPhone' and 'Sent from my BlackBerry' at the end of perfectly inane emails, which could have done without those extra additions, which unfortunately make the innocent owners take on the appearance of smug endorsers, waving around their expensive phones in your face with smug sing-song 'nyah nyahs' start getting on your nerves?
You reply, innocently enough, and at the very end, tack on a 'Sent from my ePhone' or 'Sent from my PurpleBerry'.
