[livejournal.com profile] _thickasabrick = hahaha!. I like all the little details but you know how you *know* it's Wilson? THE EYEBROWS.

I really, really love this: look! Tyre tracks. ON MARS. See how they just stretch off into the distance? This is so utterly fabulous! Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] apod.

Numb3rs tonight was a bit more engaging than last week. It's completely predictable of me but I'm totally in love with Charlie (Don just keeps reminding me of rageprufrock's Hindsight AU FBI!Sheppard). Plus it's always good to see Sabrina Lloyd and she's looking hawt.

Today's astronomy picture of the day is one of the freakiest things I've seen in a while. It's like if Star Trek was crossed with that monstrous foetus that appeared those couple of times in Lucifer. Weeargh! You can see its evolution here. Jesus!

I meant to post this before when Huygens went down, the ESA put up two sound files of the descent. The first one is not all that much except on a "so this is the sound of x descending to Titan in Y fashion" level but the second one is so awesome I have stuck it in my playlist! It is "produced by converting into audible sounds some of the radar echoes received by Huygens during the last few kilometres of its descent onto Titan" and it brings out everything gloriously sci-fi-geeky in me (because OMG A MOON IN OUTER SPACE!!11!) and I love the whole world and also there's that rush of adrenaline or endorphins or whatever just from the actual *sound*, PLUS I like weird rhythmic sounds and it has actual similarities to songs I like. Wooo! I bet it's already been mixed into a song by some electronic-neubauten band.

(I have had to use this icon *so many times* since I made it. This is a good indication of my nature. But bear in mind, I am a dork/geek about practically *everything*, except maybe the ways people fuck eeach other up. And sometimes even then!)

ETA: funny which intentional tort are you meme )

Seems like the past couple of weeks has been human tragedy after human tragedy, so it's nice to remember that some history is being made atm that is not in the least tragic. The Huygens probe is getting closer and closer to touching down on Titan. I am SO EXCITED. It feels like it's directly out of an Asimov short story and his Robot stuff was practically a religion to me growing up. It's just SO! COOL! vvvrrrrt, clank, blip, beep, and 67 minutes later the data reaches us and we've landed something on one of Saturn's moons! OMG! *spazzes out*

Ironically, they're watching Starship Troopers 2 in the other room. It is SO BAD. But I was never much of a Heinlein girl.

Oh, and I found the most brilliant syndicated blog thing ever! [livejournal.com profile] apod is Astronomy picture of the Day. It's gorgeous.
