At work when no one's looking...

I tool around on websites for scientific discoveries, like the two-mile carpet of sea-life deep, deep in the ocean where new species like this cuddly fellow were discovered. Not that I sit around fanticizing about being a deep sea diver or anything. I mean hi:



But sometimes I daydream about having a job where I get to sit around reading cool stuff all day and, like, learning. Oh, wait, I am a student. I forgot. But I’m a grown-up student. The kind who still has to go make money and stuff on top of all the studying.

I usually check out the NASA photo of the day, which is often something like this wicked beauty:




But lately, with all the space shuttle blah-blah, has been more like this:

And now, I'll go do some actual work. To which I say PHHHHHT.

I love the NASA photo of the day, too. And I, too, always get excited to sneak a peek at it while at work. (My job has absolutely NOTHING to do with outer space, btw, so I have no excuse.) And, yeah, some of those photos have been boring lately. I like the colorful floating galactic formations best. So pretty. And really, this fascination has nothing to do with my name, I swear.
