In which I’m offended.

As huge NASA supporter, I pay attention when they’re in the news. I’m totally pro space program, because we need it to develop the technologies we’ll require to get the fuck out of here after we finish brutally overusing the resources of and overpopulating the planet of our origin.

Not to mention the fact that the space program is responsible for all kinds of important tech advances currently in use, which is reason enough to love NASA.

That said, I just wanted to point out that every single article I’ve read about the astronaut love triangle situation has mentioned that the woman wore diapers on her long drive, in order to avoid making bathroom stops.

I have no meaningful comment on the situation or her mental stability as it looks to me like she just went to beat some bitch up over a man, which isn’t even news; the fact that she went über well-prepared to do it is exactly what I’d expect from someone who’s BEEN. TO. SPACE, where preparedness is the key to survival.

Mostly I’m just sick of how sophomorically titillated everyone is about the fact that she used a diaper. Uh, hello?! She’s been trained to do that. SHE’S AN ASTRONAUT. THAT’S WHAT THEY DO.

In other news, I’m out of dog food so Bindu’s dinner was a bowl of basmati, tuna, and feta. Lucky dog!

    if i were to drive across canada to beat up some woman for courting a love interest i don’t think i’d want to wear diapers. i don’t care what kind of hurry i’m in, it’s just plain nice to get out of a car and stretch out my legs…then again, i’m unlikely to leave my house for anything except school right now, it’s too freaking cold.

    I’m too lazy to beat someone up no matter how cold it is. 😉 -m
