Monday Monday
Well, Monday is here. Close of another work-filled weekend. Given the stigma of Mondays does anyone look forward to one? I would suppose that depends on your point of view.
In any case... the shuttle. Fantastic piece of technology.. probably needs more duct tape though. I read that they may try and repair the shuttle while in orbit. Given the problem is that some of the ceramic tiles have slipped.. just how do you do that? Its not like you can run down to Home Depot or Lowes! The shuttle commander mentioned taking refuge in the station if needed. I'm thinking that's not such a bad idea. Dock the shuttle, then send up ceramic repair supplies. Heck send up some construction supplies to add onto the station itself? Supposed to add onto it eventually anyway, right?
To close, I stayed up late and got a couple of passes done on the fan fic. Its got a couple of rough spots that I just can't seem to smooth out, but I generally like it. I've got a blog setup for the story and the first part up: http://swspecops.blogspot.com ( there is a link in the sidebar here too )
Hope all that reads it enjoys it. I'd appreciate feedback too.. suggestions. Won't promise I'll use them but I will consider them. I'll do my best to update once a week or once every two weeks.
And another link.. I just like this one in general.. neat idea : http://www.dailyzen.com/

The shuttle is a fascinating piece of technology. It absolutely still blows my mind that we can actually travel to outer space!Much less leave the space craft to make repairs! We are a witness to history in the making. The really interesting thing to me about all of this is that it really started as an idea. A thought in someone's head...a fiction writers head most likely:-). When I see a "flip" cell phone, I can't help but think of Captain Kirk and "beam me up Scottie" ha-ha Who would have every dreamed...
I looked at the fan fic. It was very good I thought-I am looking forward to reading more. I absolutely loved the dailyzen. That is just what this girl needs--more zen...ohmmmmmm.
I agree, I've always been fascinated by inventions like the shuttle. I guess you could say I'm a "space junkie". Heh. Chalk it up to reading as many of my grandfather's old books on electrical engineering and transcriptions and diagrams on the Gemini and Apollo flights when I was just learning to read.
I love the Daily Zen too. Really good idea and nice way to start the day!
