Okay, this week of Torchwood was fabulous! I don’t know how that happened. When the show started in season 1, I kept watching just for the laughs. It was horrible, but in a highly amusing way. I mean, the plot holes! The dreadful acting! The absurd stories! Everyone snogging everyone and everyTHING else! It was [...]

Pioneer Day Randomness
Friday, July 24, 2009
1. At this time next week, I’ll be on a plane heading to Utah.
2. How on earth did Torchwood get so good?! I used to watch the show purely for its mockability. Now it’s… quality storytelling! I’m looking forward to tonight’s conclusion.
3. The Russian navy declassified records of Cold War UFO sightings. Should make for [...]

Dear guy doing pushups in the road,
I applaud your devotion to fitness, and I completely understand that you don’t want to stop physical movement while waiting for traffic to cross when you’ve hit a red light, but could you, I don’t know… maybe do the pushups over on the sidewalk?

2. [...]

Midweek randomness: The 7-8-9 edition
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
1. Oh how I enjoy a numerically ordered date (07-08-09).
2. I finally finished the first draft of the Proceedings article (yes, I’m slow, but since I added maybe two words to it all of last week, it’s actually not as sad as it may initially seem) and sent it off to some lab/engineering people for [...]
Happy Independence Day!
Saturday, July 4, 2009
I had a great birthday on Thursday. I’d opened presents from my parents and sister earlier (books, stuffed camel, chocolate, dried fruit), but I looked at them appreciatively on my birthday :-). I ditched work for a couple hours to go out to lunch with a friend. She’s a former college roommate and a [...]
