This might seem petty… but if you’re only getting $167 back, I’d have kept the reservation and then no-showed so they couldn’t resell my room (in addition to keeping my other $1433)
paid in full $1600 (months ago) for a cruise I can no longer go on (in December) and @RoyalCaribbean is giving me.. $167 back. Thanks guys! Will be sure to tell this to many people

so... obviously whatever you 'see' of celebs is often just a snippet of reality... but, the revelation that McAvoy is a trekkie (in addition to being from Glasgow and a Celtic fan) just cements for me that if happenstance arose, we'd be friends
James McAvoy says he starred in X-Men first class because he had no money in the bank “My first child came, and I neither myself nor my wife at the time worked for about six months to a year. We just stayed at home and looked after him. And I, we weren't like, we weren't penniless. We didn't have any debt, but we had pretty much nothing in the bank… X-Men came in. I went, "Where's it filming?" They went, "Pinewood, it's 40 minutes from my front door." I was like, "Awesome." And I was also like, "X-Men, great!" I loved the cartoon when I was a kid. That'd be brilliant. I loved the movies that came out in 2000 and Bryan's original movies were brilliant. But I was like, this is a three-picture deal, they're paying well, it's 40 minutes from my front door, I'm a fan of the original material, I get to be young Jean-Luc Xavier. And I was like, this is a no-brainer. So my agent called me, she was like, "What do you think?" And I was like, "It's a work of genius, we're doing it!”

It was really lovely to see @NASAAdmin today interacting with and fielding questions from our fantastic undergrad and graduate students @ucmerced but also local K-12 students! Thanks for coming to the Central Valley (and yes, "nuclear powered octo-copter" does sound very cool!)
