When my account expires in a month or so, I'll be taking a hiatus.
If we haven't already exchanged real world contact info, and we ought to, now's the time.
Edit: The video embed isn't working.
And yes, @Phecda in zeroG would be a vision. As she's gotten to be a fitness fanatic, it's only made her unearthly curves stand out more. She'd be a fine candidate for the SG astronaut program.
I'd welcome you aboard the Nostromo as a representative of the Colonial Marines any day.
The holiday is everywhere, even where I can't miss it, in the Google Doodle. Google is hosting micro-stories collected by the folks from This American Life, which is as excellent as you'd expect.
I can't help but feel a bit rotten about coming up on this holiday again, and being essentially solitaire. I'm not good at falling for the people who fall for me. Haven't...

It's a BBC TV show. Sci Fi? Intrigue? It's hard to say. But it does a twist on the Amnesia storyline that I haven't seen done before, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Anybody out there want to watch it at the same time and compare notes?
Songs get tied to characters and stories for me. It's the same for you, eh?
