LEDE OF THE YEAR (so far)
The No. 1 need right now for some of the builders of the nation's next spaceship: Lots of No. 1.
Space program contractor Hamilton Sundstrand is seeking urine from workers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston as part of its work on the new Orion space capsule that would eventually take astronauts to the moon, according to an internal memo posted on the Web site Nasawatch.com.

can't remember if i've mentioned this before but the new yorker fiction podcast is my main motivation to go to the gym. the stories are always so great, and the analysis insightful. it's kinda a mix of dial-a-story (oh childhood!) and lit class discussion. get yer act together, this american life! anyone else think it's totally fallen off of late?

I GOT A LOWER BACK TATTOO
yep, that's right. TRIBAL DESIGN.
ok fine i lied. it's a metaphor meaning that i'm totally into lululemon, aka the new tramp stamp. laur tipped me off to a sale there last fri (she is SERIOUS about sales - she texted me about the $1 old navy flip flop sale last weekend at like 10 a.m.), and instead of happy hour, i got drunk off some gear with bamboo threads in 'em (supposed to have cooling properties).
i'm totally off of shopping for clothes for work or going out - i'm all about spending cash on workout clothes. ali says the only thing you'll catch her working out in is an APAture t-shirt and basketball shorts, but i think considering how much time and effort (structuring my schedule, eating healthy, etc.) i put into this whole being fit thing, might as well look good. and apparently there are real gains from changing your workout wear - i wore one of the tops to the gym last night and met my personal goal. awesome! and got totally scoped by the dude next to me. not so awesome. he was not hot.
another bon mot of ali's from our conversation about LL today was that she called it cameltoe heaven. yeah, yeah.
EAT IT, DRI-FIT.
on a final note - one of the writers i work with occasionally really pissed me off today. she's a lawyer and, i gotta say, is on a total power trip. i wouldn't back down to her in an email thread, and she actually called me to bitch at me about my edits. i was almost amused - but she kept interrupting me. which was like - wow, really? fine, dude. whatever. i was just perusing irene's blog and i kind of love her attitude about life and people - to wit: bad things goin' happen. bad people goin' happen. don't let it get to you. this is a great attitude to have.
...and the writer was a hardcore clinton supporter. NEED I EVEN SAY MORE?!
