So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
The Facts of Life.
Monday, August 13, 2007 @ 12:00 am
So I'm here in my room, not able to sleep. I decide to watch some On Demand shows, and stumble upon that classic 80s sitcom, The Facts of Life. I go ahead and start it up and notice something oddly familiar about the exterior shots of the academy in the opening credits. I pause the show and search online for pictures to confirm my suspicions: those exterior shots were of no other than Harwood Court, Lebus Court, and Marston Quad... at my alma mater, Pomona College.

What a mindfuck. Seems like everywhere I go, I can't escape the memory of the place.

Zanzibar--check this shit out:

I want to learn the Facts of Life. Maybe I already did... upon that very same set. I do recall some jovial bouts of ass-slapping. But I still don't think I had quite as much fun as they did in that short intro. That's pretty sweet. O, Pomona!

My hips don't lie, you know.

In other news, I am TOTALLY coming to VISIT SOOO SOON. I haven't told my boss yet. I was thinking of saying, "I will be gone shortly, I have to visit a colleague at Moffet Field and discuss NASA matters."
Did you already have your Titan thing? Sorry, I was locked out of my email for a while. Titan... moon of Saturn, 2nd largest moon in the solar system... larger than Mercury volumetrically, thick nitrogen atmosphere (1.5 bars), rocks made out of hydrocarbons, lakes of maybe liquid hydrocarbons.... Oh yeah, and the best part is that it has features called "Xanadu" and "Shangri-la". Visited by Cassini, which dropped the probe named Huygens which landed on the surface and took pictures... of basically nothing because the sun doesn't penetrate well into the atmosphere. But as it was going down they took some sweet radar images. But this information is all probably too late. I wonder if Huygens is dead or if it's still going. My guess is dead. I think we should mine it (Titan). I mean, hydrocarbons, la. I also want to visit Neptune's moon Triton, which I think might also have an atmosphere but I don't know. I think the symbol for Triton should be King Triton's signature because that was a sweet signature, even though he was signing his life away to be a shriveled little plant in Ursula's garden. The end.

Incidentally, it's good that you didn't send it, because I'm moving houses today so my address is changing.
