Dad’s at his doctors appointment. I’m out in the parking lot waiting. Rick and Morty are keeping me company.

Is there life on Venus? You wouldn’t think so…
Well… it’s probably not life. I haven’t read the article yet, but I’ve read the author’s tweet storm where he talks it through. It’s probably just something that on Earth is biological, but elsewhere is just some goofy chemistry that we haven’t seen in these parts yet.
Still… even though this isn’t even close to evidence that there is life on another planet, I am going to choose to error on the side of massive overreaction and say, WOOOHOOO! Life on Venus, babie!
I went to bed at 11:00 pm. I woke up at 3:00 am. It’s now 4:00 am and your humble narrator is still wide awake.
What’s the over under on me getting back to sleep, remembering that the alarm goes off in one hour.
The over is infinity, or 11:00 pm tonight. The under is… also infinity.
Crud. I’m really tired.
ADDENDUM: According to the sleep data collected by my AppleWatch I was asleep at 4:10 am. Maybe I was overreacting a smidgen.

I read the first appearance of Quake in the comics yesterday. She’s different from the show, but she did kick everyone’s ass so… cool.
