01:34 am - Goodbye brave satellite!
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2008-106
The Ulysses spacecraft has endured for almost four times its expected lifespan. However, the spacecraft will cease operations because of a decline in power produced by its onboard generators. Ulysses has forever changed the way scientists view the sun and its effect on the surrounding space. Mission results and the science legacy it leaves behind were reviewed today at a media briefing at European Space Agency Headquarters in Paris.

05:02 am - Random FFRPG thought
[04:55] < Reisma> You know... in the FFRPG we could combined some of our skills together without much loss.
[04:56] < Reisma> Like take Climb and Swim and put them in some new skill. ... "Going Places"? :p
[04:56] * Amatsu-Sleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[04:57] < Reisma> Riding and Animal Training probably could fit together without too much trouble. Being able to ride a Chocobo in 'easy' conditions would just be whatever the new skill is with a +60 or +80 bonus.
[04:58] < Reisma> Trade and Negotiation could be smushed into "Business" or something - people try to use Trade to negotiate anyway. -_-
[05:00] < Reinhart> Heh. ^^;;
[05:01] < Reinhart> You could use the 'Athletics' name for Climb/Swim like DnD 4.0 >.>;
[05:01] < Reisma> There we go! :p

[06:58] * The_Talking_Yogurt has joined #channel_name

I had just finished having some yogurt for breakfast... now I'm wondering if it was still good or not.

09:40 am - RIAA sink below the bottom of the scum chart, currently rating -1.5 out of 5
See for yourself.
Earlier this month the RIAA voluntarily dismissed the case—then refiled it last week but didn't mention it was the same lawsuit, which means it was assigned to a different judge.

10:04 am - Random Aria Thought
So Jade, I was listening to Shatner's Has Been while toiling in my office, and this popped into my head.
Picture, suddenly, in the middle of overblown (and slow) Aria drama, a band starts playing and Karl starts singing like William Shatner. The spotlight focuses on him and Selene, and he 'sings':
I want you to be you
Don't change
Cause you think I might like you to be different
I fell in love with you
I don't want you blond
I don't want you not to swear, not to swep
It's you I fell in love with
Your turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational moves
Well maybe that could go
But everything else, I want you to be you
I want you to dance whenever you feel it
Up by the bandstand
In the parking lot
Up on the table
Well, maybe the table can go
But I want you to be you
I love what you wear cause you're wearing it
That shawl
That clinging dress
The svelte black jacket
Those leopard capris
Well, maybe not the capris
But I want you to be you
I love what you eat
You want yogurt? you got yogurt!
Papaya? it's yours!
Chewing gum? chew away!
I just want you to be you...
Spit out the gum, it doesn't work...
When you sleep, you're the most beautiful
In the moonlight, your soft skin glows
Your hair scroll on the pillow a vision
The murmuring breath, the slight snore
The slight snore...
I want you to be you
>.>
