More jury duty.

I am bored. It's hard to focus on work in the jury waiting room. The work e-mail site is still down. They haven't called a jury panel in the last hour; I don't know if I'll even be called again. But I'm stuck here until they let us go home.

Say something entertaining?

Aw!

Okay, did you know that Spirit and Opportunity came back up after the big dust storm, Spirit has passed her fifth birthday, and Opportunity is on her way to Endeavour Crater, seven miles away?

Not bad for a couple of 90-day missions!

today it feels somewhat like someone took a hacksaw to my left knee three-four months ago. next one i'm getting done in the spring of some as yet undetermined year.

the hamster on today's page for the cuteoverload calendar has the *exact* *same* haircut as an ex of mine did when i saw him last week.

entertaining. hm. a little low on entertaining. but i'll ponder it.

The first two entertaining things I thought of are not for general audiences. I need to think harder.

Going Postal

I just read this marvelous interview with a botanical artist I'd never heard of before. He is AMAZING! Especially when you consider that he is 97, and considers his life and talent to have blossomed when he hit 70.

A new icon for me to look up to!

Oh, that is beautiful. I look at those amazingly detailed pictures of insects and I can't believe he draws them from memory.

I love the photo of him at the end, too. He just looks like someone you'd want to know.

The rain in Spain lies mainly on the plain.

On the other hand, the rain in Maryland lies mainly on the roads this afternoon. Thankfully, it does seem to be rain east of I-95. I hope things stay warm enough for that to remain the case.

You're bored? I'm so bored that I've been cleaning a filthy, filthy farm house.

And right now I could kill for a fingernail trimmer.

Something interesting.

I suppose you could go look at pictures.

You know, I'm not sure what you'd find entertaining.

[livejournal.com profile] jimhines' new book The Stepsister Scheme (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0756405327/ref=s9intb_c1_img2-rfc_g1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=08XE01HG4DNRCYCVRNG5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463383391&pf_rd_i=507846) comes out today, and I wrote a new poem about Spirit and Observer.

I'm quite sure you're home by now, but this (http://birdloversonly.blogspot.com/2007/09/may-i-have-this-dance.html) always cheers me up.
