Saturday morning I ended up watching the entire Sixth season of Venture Brothers, including the Gargantua 2 episode. So good.

My Tsundoku is as big as always


I lost the book I was reading somewhere. Very annoying, as it is the sixth and final book in a series, and I want to find out what happens to Lolth


I must have forty books to read. I used to read much more, but then smartphones happened :/


I still listen to a lot of books in the car. I'm about halfway through the complete Sherlock Holmes.


Most of the books I have in my Tsundoku are yard sale finds.

I went to Barnes and Noble in January when I received a $25 gift card. I hadn't been there for years previously. I just can't spend $30 on a book anymore


Barnes and Noble seems to be evolving into a collectible market anyway. The Funko/Lego/collectible figurine section swallows more of the store every time I visit

Indeed. I rarely go to a B&N anymore, usually only to get a new book I didn't feel like ordering through Amazon. The only bookstore I visit with any regularity is Half-Price Books.


Sadly the nearest half price books to me is in Pennsylvania which is about a 10 to 12 Hour Drive. :(


My "local" Barnes & Noble is a hour Drive round-trip for me so it is a bit of a trial to get there anyway.


I have been picking up a lot of Kindle titles for $.99 lately through this email special I signed up for. a lot of the great old golden age science fiction classics

I lock you in the crawlspace because you keep biting our guests. I'm tired of asking my gentleman callers whether they are current on their rabies shots.

Liberty's Edge

So, yesterday my hair got cut to the shortest it's ever been.

Still running my fingers through it.


Another shift. 16 hours on point


Making money is such a pain


They need to hurry that post-scarcity economy along


I want to be a professional GM

Be careful what you wish for. :-)

Wishing for a print-on-demand economy driven by clean energy, robotic workforce, and nanotechnology? Yeah I'm good with that.

Cheap "rare" minerals bulk harvested from asteroids. Sun-orbiting massive solar collectors used the gathered energy to power antimatter-producing cyclotrons...


And nanotechnology could be used to completely process those very asteroids with no waste whatsoever. Use a nanofactory in reverse. Instead of building things atom-by-atom, they're taken apart. These "ore processors" could also be the ultimate recycling facilities, rendering even the most toxic of chemicals into their component atoms.


And then we could use similar nanotech to recycle obsolete things, reducing waste by orders of magnitude...


Precisely. It will be the development of such reverse nanotech that will spearhead the development of a post-scarcity economy. That, and reliable Fusion power, though that's strictly not necessary.


Then our old landfills would become our new 'nano-mines', as recover all that old waste with its rich metal content


Thank the good spaghetti monster that weekend is over.

Now time for bus driving!


Annnd now we wait.

A nice round trip straight up the Cape to the semi-mythical town of Truro and back. A nice five-hour shot with minimal fuss (inshah FSM)


Could I get some of those nanos to repair my teeth? Or replace them with more efficient design?


Nanosurgeons? I think they're already researching that.


Going off to work now. Have a Great Day, everyone.

It's the endgame of medical technology. A team of medical nanobots roaming your corpus, ever vigilant for cancer or other signs of rot.

Maybe not soon, but, eventually

Teeth will be easy. Input extra calcium and let the bots patch the potholes.


School now. Or at least school in a hour :/

I had to come early for a conference:P


Work tonight, but it looks like the rain prediction has cancelled my bus trip tomorrow. I can't say I am too upset


I need some rest.

Part of my sheet fillin for bus driving is tallying up the amount of hours I have worked in the preceding seven days. I had 84.


It's dealable, but I can't do much else but sleep and work.


I have three hampers of clean clothes to fold :/

If I happen to get out of class early tonight, I'm going to make some more food.

Curtin's chicken scramble :

1 chicken breast
2 cans corn
1 can green beans
2 green peppers
1 hot pepper
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
Olive oil for cooking
White wine for cooking.

Chop up chicken into small slices. Cook with olive oil until slightly brown. Remove and put aside. Use dash of white wine to deglaze pan. Chop green peppers, onions, garlic and hot pepper and cook in pan until softened. Add drained corn and green beans and readd chicken. Turn heat Down and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add dash of hot sauce (optional)


Fortunately, I still have leftover Chicken Marengo from the other evening. Thus, either way I have food for my overnight shift

Hot sauce optional?! Sacrilege!


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Not optional for me, naturally. I go through a bottle of siracha monthly


The one time I didn't bring a book with me :/


And done


Work is my time thief.

I am so,... tired,... :(


I feel you Rags.

I'm back at work. The professor let us out a bit earlier than normal, so I was able to sleep for about an hour and a half. But I am still very tired. I think a green tea and honey is needed to perk up my droopy eyelids.


That sounds good.

Sleep sounds better.

You get yours, I'll get mine, and we can compare notes. ;P

Ready, set?

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

;P


There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back though you know I wish I could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

I love that one. Borderlands 1 introduced me to it.


hi everyone


the babe has some stomach troubles (which are not unusal in the 5th/6th week) so not much sleep at the moment, thankfully I am still in my 2 month of Parental time

sounds good, but no dishes with alcohol for us while Sabine is still breastfeeding :-(
