So! Brilliant news! Scientists have designed a minute, but functional tractor beam. Pretty fantastic. What's more, the quadruple helix was found in human cells for the first time!

Also on this day, in 1788, the United States Constitution was ratified. Pretty big day really, for Americans at least. Really the whole world. Today it is the oldest written constitution in operation in the world. Isn't that fantastic?

Also! I just ran a two mile run, gorgeous day out today. Tomorrow I'll try for three! I love running.

I must not be the only person in the world who confuses Nine Inch Nails with Tool. (Go on, start your laughing now.)

I was on a Super jog with my buddy Mako when we passed a dog park. And the dogs were all singing a Nine Inch Nails song. At least, I think it was Nine Inch Nails.

So Bring Your Dog to Work Day is an actual thing? They were just talking about it on the news while I was eating breakfast. Makes me wonder if anyone is actually taking their talking dog to work today. Might not be a good thing if your dog is blabby and knows you've played hooky from work before. Wouldn't want him to tell on you.

Personally, I find all these talking and singing animals to be a great deal of fun. Baby Samwise enjoys the crickets that sing outside his room in the evening, too.

I am wondering if anyone has ever come across a girl called Mary Eunice McKee.

She would be in her twenties, I think; Caucasian, blonde, with big blue eyes.

She would be sweet and willing to learn, most likely. But there might also be a chance that she would be sly. Manipulative. Disdainful of authority and even crude.

I hope she isn't real. If you have ever met her or know of her, would you be willing to send me a message? It may be very important.

Private to Oliver Queen: I'm going to be late coming over today. I'm going to do something I haven't done in a while - go to Mass.

Everyone mark your calendars! July 13th we're going to have a Gala Party at Baxter Bakery. If you're a local artist who would like to display artwork at the event, or if you're a local musician who would like to play, please comment below and contact me!

Also at Baxter Bakery, one of my employees has decided that we need to have a sandwich called "The Audrey"... if you think you have good ideas what "The Audrey" might be, please fill out a form and drop it in the box! We'll vote on the best sandwich at the Gala!

Thanks for your time!

When I got home last night from my boyfriend's apartment, I said goodnight to my father. When I awoke this morning, he was gone.

He had been ill for some time, and I had been expecting it. I have completed the necessary rituals like 末期の水, matsugo-no-mizu (moistening his lips with water) and closing our 仏壇, our shrine, against evil spirits. However, I now must contend with the logistics for helping distant relatives fly here from Japan and making sure all goes well with the authorities.

Therefore, I ask. (1) Would anyone happen to work at a hotel or know a good one where I might get a group rate? (2) I have not been able to find an answer - is an autopsy required? I would not want it. (3) I had other business - namely a real estate closing - which was to happen this week, and now it must be pushed back. Do I simply contact my lawyer?

I am sorry to trouble the network with such broad questions. I have studied funeral customs and how to properly handle Father's resting place; I have not studied mundane details.

The blessings of Wadjet upon you all today. Wadjet is the protector of kings, of women in childbirth, and today is just one of her ceremonial days.

Even if you don't celebrate like I do, may your days be happy and blessed.

When you accidentally learn weird shit about your siblings, life gets really bizarre. I will never regret that he showed up when he did, but damn, my brother's a whole LOT more out there than I thought. Time to readjust MY world view.

Tatelock:

Thank you. Seriously. Words can't START expressing how glad I am that you were there.

In my newest dream, I'm on my way to becoming a knight. I'm pretty sure that most of them think I'm a man. The others hate me because I'm not one. Not that it matters, I'm training and becoming something brilliant. Someone worthy.

I just don't know what that is yet.

I'm kind of glad that I don't have any pets talking to me. It's bad enough with the pigeons.

I have to say, that Sonic Rainboom was impressive. My subjects are truly capable of great things when their friends are in need.

I've decided it's time for me to move out of my much beloved condo. It's a perfect living space, but I think I'd like something bigger. Preferably with a basement area.

The thing about being a magician is I like to practice new tricks, and my condo simply doesn't give me the room to do that on the scale I want to.

Is anyone on here involved with real estate, or perhaps know of a good realtor?

[Private to Darcy]

Do you want to help me go house hunting? Your opinion is really the only one I trust in the matter.

BRB GONNA GO MARRY PETE AGAIN

(Seriously, he's the best ever and getting a second honeymoon is awesome.)

Gwen, Merlin? The cat is talking.

And demanding fancier food. She's saying that she deserves it because she's named after a Queen.

You know you've got to start looking at calendars and remembering what day it is more often when you realize you missed your own birthday by a week. Yikes.

And when I say you, I guess I really mean me.

Good lord. Every day I work here as the coordinator, the more I learn about things I didn't have to deal with as just a stuntwoman.

We're due to start shooting a particularly difficult stunt involving a horse-drawn carriage jumping off a bridge that's in the "up" position. One of my best stuntmen rings me and says he can't come to work for at least a week on the advice of his doctor. ( cut for talk of potentially gross injury )

So, we'll have to reschedule the stunt, and he made me swear not to tell anyone at work. I'm just marveling that that can actually happen.

Officially living in my car. Again.

Yes, again.

I've still got my phone, if you need to get a hold of me.

Thanks for the invite for living with you. I think maybe I should just try to figure it out on my own. I really appreciate the offer, but I have really bad luck with moving in with people. I'll let you know if I change my mind.
