Story idea...
May. 14th, 2004 01:20 amOne that's been popping around by head for a month or so.
Back during the Manhattan Project, prior to the detonation of the first atomic bomb test, one of the scientists (maybe Oppenheimer) bet with a colleague that the a-bomb test was going to ignite the atmosphere, thus wiping out all life on earth.
Why do I vaguely see an alternate history story in which this actually happened?
The thing is, once all life on earth is wiped out (probably within seconds of the blast), the story ends. Unless some aliens happen upon the planet, shake their heads and say "tut, tut, those foolish humans," of course.

So, Harry Potter Weekend in NYC has become Harry Potter Weekend in Boston, due to a lack of people getting their act together. Avi and Motti will be coming up here, which should be interesting, to say the least.
More details as they present.

May. 14th, 2004 10:38 amSo, as I've mentioned countless times before, my brother's getting married at the end of the month.
Why do so many people think that I have to be horribly depressed, blinded with rage and/or killingly jealous as a result?
The only negative feeling that exists as a result of the pending wedding is the fear I have of my next credit card statement. Wedding gifts and suits aren't cheap. :-)
