Okay. So we have half a day to go. All our bookmarks are saved, our peanuts are ready to open, but the clock is ticking slower and slower... what do we do until things start happening? How are we going to kill these last remaining hours..?

I know Doug will be watching the Grand Prix, and Rui will be mourning Portugal's failure to win Eurovision last night (good effort Rui, but the Latvian pirates were better! laugh.gif ) but what about the rest of us?

Well, if you've any ideas for vid clips your fellow UMSFers might like to watch, articles they might like to read, sites they might like to visit, go ahead and share them here.

I'll start. Go watch this YouTube video. It's a work of genius, but probably only if you're a Star Wars fan.

Hey, it's a start...! smile.gif

I was hoping to spend the day brewing a commemorative Phoenix Pilsner. The yeast would be pitched at the official Mars landing time (giving me time to setup in front of the TV and computer with my peanuts to await the signal's arrival), and it would ferment and lager through the primary mission period, to be enjoyed upon the successful completion of that mission phase. Alas, I had too many other things to get done yesterday and ran out of time to prepare for brew day.

I wonder if that means anything beyond the fact that I am a poor planner. unsure.gif

Not me. Too played out.

I recommend Achewood though. Reading through the archives should eat up some time.
