From our friend FOIA, a list of the books, movies, and music at the International Space Station. The reading just reinforces that astronauts will always be astronautish, but I’m intrigued by the movies. Well, intrigued by season one of Sealab 2021. Seems a little too… on the nose.

FARK takes on the READ poster.

A guy crawled under the reference desk and was poking at the power outlets. I said “can I help you?” and he said he was just looking at the outlets. Then I realized he was probably with the firm that will be remodeling the building in the fall. But it was equally likely that he was a patron looking for somewhere to plug in his laptop. Or crazy.

Ran across Brand New when Googling for discussion of Google’s new favicon. It might have to go into stuff we like.

A story from the Daily Mail tells of a couple who married, divorced, and unioned (with intervening sex change). What is not explained is why “They had to divorce after the switch” though they continued living together and being in love. Seems like common law would be fine with them staying married. But it’s a human interest story rather than news, I guess, despite being in a “news” paper. Also unusual is that the subject looks quite nice as both genders.

Galia Melons are super-delicious! Top Foods is having some sort of melon special, featuring many types of melons I have never heard of (including Galia). I tried the Galia for breakfast, I am very impressed! I wish the side of fruit that comes with many restaurant meals had Galia instead of rock-hard cantaloupe and honeydew. Later, I try the Persian melon.
