From the Ashes

Was up for 25 hours, slept for four, laptop is causing my main computer to reboot, and I'm not approved for a comped badge into DragonCon. The 75 dollars is gonna hurt, especially on top of not getting a con rate for the room, and the only way to drag people there was to let them give me what it would cost them at the con rate. Having some offset to the cost of a room is better than paying for the entire thing myself. On top of other unexpected costs the last few weeks, if I didn't already have the room and airplane tickets, I'd just stay home I'm in such a grumpy mood right now. =P

/whine for the month.

"NASA decided Thursday that no repairs are needed for a deep gouge in Endeavour's belly and that the space shuttle is safe to fly home. Mission Control notified the seven shuttle astronauts of the decision right before they went to sleep, putting an end to a week of engineering analyses and anxious uncertainty — both in orbit and on Earth."

Here's hoping that everything goes well for them.
