This post will be about nothing important.
I'm going to discuss random, meaningless issues.
There will be no sum up.
I might not even make a list ...
No, here's a list:
1. I'm stuck on writing on the dissertation, at a very crucial time, because I have family commitments. These family commitments mean there is no schedule because that's how the rest of my family roll. I have to have a schedule so ... I'm grading and surfing the 'net this morning because if I start to work and then someone interrupts that my spleen will fall out. That's messy. We don't want that.
2. I put my child's hair up in a ponytail for the first time. It was The World's Tiniest Ponytail (tm). The cute factor was off the charts. Here's a picture:
It's an action shot because, these days, there are no other shots.
Note the blurring at the top of the photo. She's on the move.
C. (yes. I did that on purpose. calm down). The Pentagon is doing this:
Attempting to Make Eternal, Artificial Life with a Kill Switch
To which I have only this to say:
Good idea, asses. No. Really. Not being sarcastic AT ALL. ::cough::
I love it when government agencies do things we all know end in worldwide calamity. Really.
Also, in other news, a writer AND EDITOR at wired.com thinks a headline like "Pentagon Looks to Breed Immortal 'Synthetic Organisms,' Molecular Kill-Switch Included" is fine, not at all awkward, and will not make writers everywhere stabby. Especially when you realize that person is being paid to create that awkward word choice.
IV. I have a fever blister. It hurts and looks unsightly. I am very bitter about it.
5. 
This is not my fever blister. This is Snowpocalypse from space. Feel free to go outside and give the satellite the finger. I would.
6. A new alien conspiracy!!!
Remember that collision between two asteroids in the belt that Hubble caught awhile ago? Apparently, it's really an alien craft!!
I love this video for the music alone. It's not at all hyperbolic or anything.
Thank you to Andre Heath, the maker of said video and to TheAlienProject for the use of it. Heck, who knows? You may be right. I'm certainly not ruling anything interesting out. I was completely disappointed when the cool sky thing in Europe turned out to be a Russian rocket.

The tiniest ponytail is EXTREMELY CUTE! Show a photo of HWIH and the ponytail and you'll have computer AWWWW meltdown.
Finally, I'm thanking my lucky stars (actually my parents' lucky stars) that the "line of white" ends just shy of Passaic County NJ and the old folks.
I didn't watch it, I swear. But does anyone have any brain bleach?
Odette, even your writing about "nothing" is worth reading . . .
bluesurly--That is my first "First!" That is very flattering.
cartouche--Thank you. It does deserve its own post, but hell, I don't know. It's just too much effort today.
Ash--thank you! She is adorable. Today though, there was so much humidity in the air, she looked like a member of Flock of Seagulls. ha!
The world's tiny red ponytail. There is a soon to love Osborn on a sarcastic treadmill.
A cootie Chihuahua.
Sarcasm is redeemable.
It's mastering darkness.
People project and disown.
The dark-side is fascinating.
Socrates said`Befriend beast.
Or.
The dark beast conquers us
Then we are the tragic fools
Fallen primal beast cartoons
(Totally on the same page with "from the hip" "honesty.")
Joan--Yes, she makes everything better always. :)
Verbal--Are you kidding me? There is no way I can compare to you, your writing and the youness of you, which is very excellent. Please. But I thank you for the compliment. :)
Brian--I know!!!! How will they get her out of that dress if she's virtual?
Just as the 3 '1' questions that is essential/ impotent,
It's asked,
lips are pinched,
when asked ...
politeness ...
Tai says:`
please excuse.
I gotta go to potty.
::sigh::
DARPA's scheme to devise the perfect biological killer on the other hand, well, haven't they seen The Omega Man or 28 Days Later or any of the dozens of movies in that genre? Let's hope the aliens intervene to save us from ourselves so they can harvest our adrenal glands for sustenance.
Irritated Mother--Oh my! I know! I try to remind myself of this when she wakes me at 3am because "binky gone! binky gone!!"
That soundtrack was hilarious.
I think America is lacking manners over all. It seems behaving boorishly has become de rigueur.
The ponytail keeps getting cuter.
love the snow satellite pic. awesome.
(see, not so concealed). ;-)
ocular--I thought seriously about digging into my Amazon budget and sending them some movies with the note, "Please watch these, you nitwits." But I knew it would be in vain.
Cat-- :) Thank you! I appreciate it.
Stim--I know! You think these people working there have never seen any popular culture at all.
femme forte--Aw, thank you. The snow picture fills me with horror and makes me pray hardily for spring.
New Number--HA!!! Next, you'll be discussing how you shoot from the hip and that you pride yourself on your outspoken nature. heh heh
That photo of your daughter is SO CUTE! xox
viz: Z: yeah. When someone starts with "Frankly..." or "Honestly?..." i duck. The truth is, "The truth is..." means you weren't telling the truth, before this. And practically no one, me included, coughs up anything for someone else's "own good" that isn't really to scratch some itch of our own.
Who was it, H.L Mencken, who said "never eat or sleep anywhere called "ye olde..." anything"? well, never trust any remark that ends with "I'm just sayin'". Even if its true.
Tell the truth and shame the devil, my Nana used to say. I'm just sayin'.
I do every day, twice on the weekends!! ;)
