Bullet points
May. 15th, 2008 08:19 am- ALL UR ADDRESSES R BELONG 2 ME. Now to plan nefarious things to do with them. Hee hee hee
- There may be something to this water retention theory. I got on the scale for poops and ha has this morning and noted with amusement that I've dropped five pounds in two days. Time for me and my body to have a bit of a talking to, it seems.
- I really should not take as much twisted glee in watching the ENGINEERING DISASTERS OHNOES episodes of Modern Marvels. I mean, in 14 out of fifteen of the ones they feature, people die. And yet... Manmade things fall over, blow up, crash, collapse and in other ways FAIL spectacularly, and I can't... stop... watching. There was about four hours worth on the DVR yesterday that I watched straight through.
- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh why isn't it Friday yet aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh. Have a bit of a to-do list for tonight, as I'm hopping on a bus tomorrow straight from work. We'll see what I manage to get done.
- Hmm. *eyes a troublesome component of breakfast* it's going to be a little hard eating that thing of yogurt I just opened without a spoon...

Tell you to "Use the fork, Luke!"? Or shout COWBOY UP and launch into a tale of how when I was in Africa we were lucky when we got spoons, and if we didn't have them why we just ate with our fingers and then wiped our hands on our jeans? The possibilities are endless.
As to engineering catastrophes, I am not sure why there is such a deep and abiding satisfaction to watching enormous feats of engineering go FLOOEY even as we mourn the damage and the possible human suffering, but it seems to be universal. As Exhibit A I present to you the entirety of Hollywood. Note how I have highlighted Michael Bay, as well as the section entitled "Kaiju." For your perusing pleasure.
