Well, I have food now

Parents came. Dad decided that it's absolutely necessary to change the oil & oil filter on my car, so that's what ended up happening. They've also hauled back my Pile of Stuff (including the heater) that has been sitting in the middle of my studio for the past month, so now there is room.

I think I may need to re-vacuum. Though I did vacuum up this massive spider the other time....

I've also came across this:

After another series of scrubs, the Space Shuttle Discovery is slated to launch the COLBERT treadmill (among other things), to the ISS tonight. The satirist Stephen Colbert crushed the competition when the name of the ISS’s new module was put up to a public vote, though NASA balked and went with “Tranquility” instead. The exercise equipment was named after him as a compromise.

From SEED (the science magazine). Poor Colbert. His name is apparently not cool enough for NASA.

Life. It goes on.
