8/1 – Lughnasadh, the holy day of Lludd, Samhain, next! My next birthday is 6 months from now – and the last is six months in the past, give or take a few hours.

Dagwood night with the in-laws and BHK! Tooth was bugging me a bit, so I didn’t consume too much.

Watched more of Black Magic with Raymond burr and Orson Welles. Not a terribly excellent film. A lot of scenery chewing, and a good excues to cuddle on the couch.

Water on Mars: confirmed.

Laboratory tests aboard NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander have identified water in a soil sample. The lander’s robotic arm delivered the sample Wednesday to an instrument that identifies vapors produced by the heating of samples.

The lander itself added, on Twitter, “FTW!” (I imagine and hope that’s “for the win”, not the other one… “f*** the world”.)

I want a robostool. (No, not robot poop, dear journal.) See also:“Take a seat” is a robotic chair that follows you around

Yeah, so I want a pet chair.
