» wednesday, august 2I know where the missing antimatter went, but I'm not telling.(newsblogger verdict: eh. too many scrollbars.) » tuesday, august 1never never never let a guinea pig cage go for eleven days without being cleaned. it's cruel to the poor cavies and to the person who has to eventually deal with it. I think the person who was taking care of our pets just kept throwing new hay on top of the old stuff, because not only was the cage full of disgusting wet bedding, there wasn't any new stuff. I improvised with alfalfa. I just hope they don't eat themselves to death before I get to the pet store.at least the piggies seem happier now. in fact, all of my little zoo seems happier now. animals are so easy to please - keep them clean, warm and fed and they reward you by being bright-eyed and button-cute for as long as they're alive. where did people get off evolving all these complicated emotions anyway? ;) anyway, it has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I haven't heard "head" in a couple years at least, but it still rocks like a lost lo-fi allstars song. there isn't a single cut on the whole disc that I instinctively skip, which is unusual for me and nearly-blind purchases. the lyrics are mostly inane, but that's okay. there isn't a single song on here that doesn't immediately smack of something else, but that's okay too. this is what is called accessible music. I'm surprised the group fell so far off the radio market radar. they're so damn sellable. the big telescopes are doing great, but it takes more than astrogeeks like me to keep public support and interest in space exploration up. humans landing on mars would give all the space programs a much-needed shot in the arm. they say there's not enough money, but funding is only going to decrease if the general public doesn't take more than just a casual interest in all that stuff that lies beyond our own atmosphere. to be honest, I've never wanted to be an astronaut, and I don't care about planets or stars nearly as much as I care about theoretical astrophysics, but right now I would rather see nasa work on pr than bigger smoother telescope mirrors. astronauts need to be explorers, not satellite delivery people. |
