Just before I went to bed last night, I decided to check out the NASA livestream, so I got to see the whole thing live, which was pretty freaking awesome. I might have cried a little at the awesome. MARS. We are living in the future, guys.
Here are two links from the Times explaining stuff:
from last week:
A Drop-In Looking for Signs of Company from today:
Curiosity Rover Lands Safely on Mars *
Today, I woke up at the time I usually wake up with my alarm. That doesn't happen often on days when I actually have to get up. Sigh. I did get a bunch of stuff done fairly early, which meant I could spend time this afternoon baking and writing. 18,500 words now, and counting. I still haven't revised the sex scene, and the action scene has turned into something else, but I think it works. I don't even know.

Teen Wolf
Well, that was basically an hour-long tease. But see, JACKSON turned out to be a good guy! And the power of LOVE is going to save him. I...might like Jackson a lot, and not just because he's preternaturally hot.
OH STILES. (Maybe the tension between you and your dad is because YOU HAVEN'T TOLD HIM WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. He better find out next week.) At least he got to be a lacrosse star before it all went to shit?
And so far neither the sheriff or Scott's mom is dead, which is what I mostly care about (they totally need to hook up). I didn't want them or Jackson to die. I know Scott, Stiles, and Derek are safe, and Jackson won't hurt Lydia or Danny so they're safe. Going in, I didn't care if Isaac died, but he can stay now.
I was hoping Allison was playing Gerard but no, she's gone off the deep end, which is unfortunate. I wonder if Gerard hurting Stiles will be what snaps her back to sense.
See, Scott knows he's dumb, which is one of the things I like about him, and he was actually smart in this episode. Oh, Scott. And his mom came around, which is good. Aw, Scott.
I'm not sure if I don't think Peter should kill Gerard and then Derek can kill Peter again or if Peter is just going to stick around being dangerous next season. But Gerard needs to die.
Oh, Derek. The shittiness of your life is truly epic. It's starting to be kind of hilarious. Poor baby.
How has Bianca Lawson not aged a day since Buffy?
In other news, Crystal Reed, the girl who plays Allison, would make a good Kate Bishop if they ever make a live-action Young Avengers movie.

Ugh. Back to work tomorrow. I dread my inbox, and I was only out three days.
