- The family say they wanted to see a movie and you talk excitedly about Stardust for 15 minutes until you realize the cars gone with a little sticky note by the computer about the movie theater....

- Your boss asks for the report that was due 2 days ago, and the only thing you hand him is a printout from your "My Events" page.

- Certain random screen savers (besides FastEddie's!) catch your attention out of the corner of your eye, and you start looking for tracks in them.

- The floaters in your field of vision no longer bother you because now EVERYTHING looks like the stardust movies.

- you hear an interview with a rapper who proclaims he's "...on an exploratory quest to find some great tracks..." and that he "...scored well with some heavenly dust..." and you find yourself thinking: it's so wonderful of him to promote space science like that among all the children of the world.

:D
Twinkle, twinkle, little dust!
How I wonder which to trust!
From stars above the world you fell!
Buried like treasure in aerogel.

- you start searching for dust in the nude 'cos you've worn everything and haven't had time to do the washing.
- you keep dropping your mouse off the desk in an effort to get the VM to focus down even more.

when you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, you stop by "for just a minute" to do some dusting


you start getting up in the middle of the night to do some dusting and forget about the bathroom...

When you start seeing tiny specks of dust on your PC monitor you'd normally never notice :).

-You have found that your skin glows bright white when exposed to direct sunlight, and you don't understand why no one can look directly at you.
-You continually set your clocks back because they've advanced four hours when you know you've only been dusting for ten minutes.
-the only functioning utilities in your house are the electricity and internet connection, and you can't figure out why you don't get calls anymore.
-When you your family tells you you smell, you say it's the smell of discovery.
-When you turn off your computer you feel as though you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
-your boss at the office believes you are the hardest worker in the company because you have devised an elaborate system of tripwires to alert you when someone is walking past your cubical, and you flip from stardust to actual work when they walk by.
You rang?
