Ahhh, Friday.
Not much going on today. I’m on pup-sitting duty this weekend, and not much else. Prolly clean the dog hair out of the car tomorrow, and mow and stuff.
Just a few interesting things came up around the net. First off, Captain Sulu has come out of the closet. More power to him, but he’s 68 years old. Kinda late to pick up that young starlet now, considering he was famous then. Oh well, at least its good Star Trek news, not another cast member going where no one comes back from.
Also, Delaware made the news today. Unfortunately, like every time Delaware is in the news, it’s bad. This time it’s even close to home (HEY! No jokes about our size, saying its all close to home.) Frederica, this time. Apparently, a woman decided to end it all - and convinced her neighbors she was a Halloween decoration. Not fun, but still darkly funny.
Yay for Mythbusters being back. I like that they listen to their fans, and take on their detractors. It’s kind of interactive TV, if you’re willing to wait a while.
Also yay for Drawn Together’s return. It’s probably more fucked up than South Park, and still funnier. Not for the faint of heart, for sure. It’s nice to know that completely off color irreverent comedy still has a place. It may be the only thing left preventing Lenny Bruce from rising up to start a rebellion against the fascist thumpers.
Oh, I’m storing up a few rants for when I’m really coherent - there’s one about progress coming at some point (once I get photos) and possibly one on jokes becoming self-fulfilling prophecies. There might also be one about work “Holiday Parties”.
Two things left to cover. First, Congress has approved a measure to ease a restriction on NASA preventing them from buying more rides on the Soyuz systems. Somehow rides into space count under arms restrictions.
Second, big kudos to Heather. She snipped of 13 inches of hair to donate to Locks for Love, or whatever that group is called. Personally, I couldn’t really see a difference when I saw it this morning. The girls will just huff at that, but the guys will stand behind their Y chromosomes for defense. The way we see it, anything past the shoulders just leaves it getting in the way of more interesting bits.
