Thinking of that music and the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey while reading about the Cassini probe, almost about to hit Saturn orbit (or is it going to be mainly Titan based?). Hmm, now there's a DVD I have to buy - Cassini has just taken a few photos of Phoebe - no, not an Australian friend lol a Saturn moon, and, as usual when talking astronomy and the universe, I am just pretty much in awe. Imagine the distances involved, because that's all us non-NASA people can do, imagine it... a moon 220 kays across with a fifty kay crater, ouch, would have felt THAT impact LOL. And here is the official site. Mmm, space exploration (drools)...
There are European elections going on, if anyone is interested - a couple of ex porn stars on the ballot LOL - did everyone's ears and search engines prick up at that? Hehehe - and Tony Blair's party did really badly at council elections (as important for the Brits as state elections are to the US I'm thinking). But, as that BBC article makes clear, more interesting things, like football championships start in Europe this weekend - mmm, countdown is at about sixteen hours woohoo!
Oh dear, this story has made international (well BBC at least) webpages. Pub game of biting live mice and eating them, in Brisbane no less - well, no mice actually got eaten, but a few tails and limbs went apparently. Reagan's funeral in Washington - will catch the 'highlights' on TV later in the day. It may have been live on free to air TV here, but that was at two in the morning eek, he wasn't THAT great a President to stay awake at that time of the morning - not like it was a rugby match or anything LOL. Mmm, England v the All Blacks today, and on free to air TV in Australia, woohoo!
Something worse than the mouse eating, if any one actually wants to dare reading it. Pretty bad, and that's typical Kiwi understatement. But this is a better one, Winnie the Pooh versus basketball - just thinking, the LA Lakers, Shaq and Kobe, not playing at the Staples Center because of some piddling thing, lol such as a political convention hmm, not likely! Wouldn't be likely that rugby would have such a problem in New Zealand either...
Here is a story saying exactly what I was saying last weekend, about all the attention on the Western Front in World War Two. Very well written, point very well made. Seventy percent of Wehrmacht (German Army) deaths were on the Eastern Front. From what I have read, both about the German and Soviet advances, Stalingrad and Berlin to take two examples, it was HELL on that front.
Just a quick personal note - lol one of the agencies that was vying for my hand but lost (well at this stage), the agent wrote me an email saying congrats on your new job, what is it and everything. The agent was very pretty when I went in a couple weeks ago, and actually was looking for other positions for me when possie one fell thru. So I was going to send an email back saying thanks and everything anyways, over this weekend sometime, but getting that email spurred me to write it earlier. Not that she probably read it before going home on a long weekend Friday (sent the reply about quarter to five), but yeah, thank you Kim LOL. Entirely professionally of course LOL LOL.
Okies, that's me for about the morning - will catch up again soon
Paul
