burning raspberries
Your box of science doesn't work?
Ya'll should listen to This Week In Science. Yes, every week.
i don't think i've pointed this guy out on here yet:
Worldchanging!
it's probably the best bright-green site i've found, and believe you me, i look.
In a related story, 0% of my friends know what "bright green" means. Yes, i polled them this past week. This could mean:
a) they are all living in the wrong century
b) i spend too much time reading Orion and the internets
or c) we are all, indeed, doomed.

The Masquerade was good. We had a Domino, a Republican, Marie Antoinette, Rebecca+Enid (the Ghostworld Girls), the King of the Lepers, a Sunset, the Ocean, River Tam, Johnny Knoxville (i think?), a Tourist (again, maybe??), and several not-dressed up people who for some reason didn't want to be Boris Yeltson. The winner of the night was when this Really Did Happen:
River Tam: Yeah, my dad almost went on Bill O'Reily when that scandal happened.
The Domino (or somebody?): The christians preaching on campus scandal?
River Tam: Yep. The whole thing was handled poorly--hence the scandal--but apparently some TAs at UWEC wanted to hold bible studies in their dorms.
The Republican: That's a GOOD IDEA!
Somebody: Wouldn't you want it to be compulsory?
The Republican: Did you know that I could smile before I was born!?!

So, ah, my life at Kinko's is going alright. A customer told me i looked 18, which was exciting because that hasn't happened since i was a mere 22 years of age (and i used to have a notorious baby face, dear cyber stalkers). Sundays are crazy quiet, which is nice as i actually get to go home at ten and not be stressed out for a bit there. Don't get too excited for me, though, i don't really know how to 'not be stressed out' anymore. i think it's just a permanent state at this point, so i'm working on 'calm within disaster' or something equally special and zen. i'm sure i'll let you know how that goes.

EDIT: oh! and in a fascinating continuation of last week's tagline, RGE & the Mother Unit continued the Debate of Awesome about Evolution today. Mom had that wonderful pie chart that shows 60%+ of Americans don't "Believe" in Evolution, which was supposed to prove that she's not a freak. Freak, no, but sad wrong majority? Yes. RGE responded with something equally snippy, making mom cry. i wish people who refuse to understand evolution wouldn't freak out every time somebody points out how absurd that "belief" is. You don't not believe in statistics or valence theory or osmosis do you (Glynis, don't answer that question)? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg.
