A promising job lead has cropped up. At least by my standards its a promising lead. I called the local temp agency and the woman I spoke to thought she might have some work for me. Its a vague, almost non-existent possibility but in my present state I consider that to be a good thing. She'll call me later this morning. I just hope I'm conscious enough to hold a coherent conversation with her.

I ate at Chipotles tonight. My stomach is telling me to run out and get some hi-octane antacid, but I'm resisting. I'd rather tough it out like the clueless masculine dumbass I am. Anyway, its not like I'd be asleep right now anyway. I haven't got to bed before 2am in weeks.

The Cassini space probe has sucessfully entered orbit around Saturn. Its on a four-year mission to discover little-known obscure scientific trivia about the ringed planet that geeks like me will find cool as hell. Later this year it will jettison its probelet Huygens towards Saturn's moon Titan. Titan is one of the few places besides Earth that may have a shot at harboring life. The cool thing about Cassini is that it has thousands (if not millions; I'm not sure of the exact number) of signatures that have been digitally scanned onto a DVD and bolted onto the side of the spacecraft. Back in the mid-90's NASA requested that folks sign their name onto a postcard and send it in to have it included. Cool huh? I think I got a few friends and family to sign my card. Its mind-blowing to realize that my late father's signature is orbit around Saturn at this very moment.
