When to stop spelling banananananana...
News from the solar system
Huygens landed on Titan today. Two hours of transmissions, including some interesting photos. NASA also launched a comet impact probe this week, which is almost as ambitious as Stardust. Actually, more so since they're going to actually hit the thing. (Stardust will return a year from tomorrow, looks like.)
A little closer to home
Lunch this afternoon was at Hannah Bea's, which I've spoken about before. The banana pudding was fresh, with notes of cream and Nilla Wafer. A slight bite to the banana, and a lovely contrast of texture between the fruit and the pudding. Good stuff.
Went to the comic shop today and grabbed a haul that included:
- Love Fights Vol 2
- Queen and Country
- Noble Causes
- The Pulse
- JLA: Rock of Ages
- JLA Classified
- And the first Scott Pilgrim issue.
I turned down the pristine copy of Turok #1, which was in the best condition I've ever seen of a comic from that era. Not quite sure of how it survived intact. (Kevin struck out on finding any Sugar and Spike, which did not surprise me. )
More on these later when I get a chance to read them--I've been distracted by a feline emergency in our house. Oh, also reading JLA/Avengers, which has been kinda fun.
They're predicting snow and freezing rain tomorrow for here. Probably not much by most standards, but people here do not deal well with ice. While I am not concerned about my ability to drive in this, but other folks? Ugh.
