My Grandmother Makes Me Feel Like the Worst Granddaughter Ever.

Actually, I think I'm a very good granddaughter. The problem is that my grandmother is very independent and I'd feel like a bigger ass if I did more things for her. For instance, I stopped by her house on Tuesday to pick up some tomatoes she'd picked. I visited for awhile and she said she had to take the garbage can to the street. I asked if she wanted help and she politely declined, so I let her do it. She pays me to mow her grass and in the fall, she'll pay me to rake the leaves. This won't stop her from helping by picking up sticks or helping with the leaves. At least she lets me do things like put the shower curtain back up (though I'm 90% sure that she's the one that took it down in the first place to wash it).

She's 80 years old (well, next year she will be) and she drives faster than I do and walks 5 miles a day. I can only hope that I'm as awesome when I get to be her age.

Quick shout-out to her not-quite-so-old neighbor. They walk together, keep tabs on eachother, and take turns bringing back the trash bins.

Eureka is Wrong!!!

So, if you're a fan of the show Eureka, you'll know that they recently had a story arc where they went to Titan. Some of the episodes included elaborate experiments of what it would be like to work on Titan. Well, I'm watching and episode of The Universe and it says that the methane on Titan isn't highly flamable because of the the lack of oxygen.

Now, I do not know if this was an oversight or done on purpose. You see, in the episode that I'm thinking of (sorry, I can't tell you which one off the top of my head), they accidently started an explosion on fake Titan and they used the information they gained in the senario to win against the gas as it invaded the city. Even though the liquid shouldn't have been flamable in fake Titan, the gas that would have existed in "real" Eureka would have been highly flamable.

Battlestar Galactica

So...a few years a go I met a friend of a friend who was watching BSG. It was a girl whose boyfriend or other male friend suggested the show and told her that it was like a potato chip--once you start watching, you will not sleep until it's over.
