annundrielFirst off, Sour Skittles and cinnamon gum do not go well together. This I learned from first hand experience. Even if it's just the lingering taste of cinnamon, it is a BAD IDEA. Bleh!
I'm looking at the "Ten Trading Spaces Bedrooms" on MSN and Doug, Hildi, and Frank pretty much have me going WTF. I remember watching the ep with Hildi's Tiffany-box inspired bedroom. Crap! Crappity crap crap. Someone give Hildi some sedatives and lock her in a padded room. Vern's room doesn't disappoint, neither does Edward's or Laurie's. I know Edward and Hildi and Doug are still on the show, but what happened to Vern and Laurie? Show's not as much fun without Paige, so I just don't watch anymore. Not when I could watch While You Were Out with Andrew Dan-Jumbo and Leslie Segrete who is my hero on these shows because she can do *anything*. And then there's Debbie Travis on HGTV and she's pretty cool, too. Although sometimes her taste is a little iffy.
And how the hell did I get to talking about home improvement shows anyway? For someone who doesn't own a home, I watch way too many.
Anyway. The point of this post, sort of, has to do with Astronomy. And Stargate. Because classes are much more fun if I can connect them to the things I love. During lab today, my Astronomy professor's phone rang. The ringer is a cat meowing, she explained, because it drives her dog crazy. And also it's a nod to Schrodinger's cat in her bag. A joke I would not have gotten if I didn't watch SG-1. So, hey, knowledge. Limited, yes, but whatever.
And in class we talked about the satellites of the solar system, focusing on the satellites of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. I didn't know Callisto had a feature (a crater I think) on it called Asgard. Which, besides making my geeky heart leap, prompted me to look back into some Norse mythology. I am a happy, geeky girl today.
Also, I can't take the term "volcanism" entirely seriously. I *know* what it refers to and I understand it and can spell it and so on, but every time it's used, for a split second my first thought is "Spock?"
