No bowl. Stick, Stick!!

Khlav Kalash leaves an awful taste in your mouth that can only be washed down with several cans of crab juice.

Don't know how long it will last, or what legal ground they think they can stand on in doing this, but bluebeat.com has posted the entire remastered Beatles catalog for unlimited free streaming as well as 25-cent per/song mp3 purchases.

Go ahead and ignore it. If you committee doesn't catch it then it's all good.

Eh, turns out Avagadro has an unlisted number, huh?

Cleopatra had a hell of an asp.

Zsa Zsa Gabor is jealous.

X. Watching Coppola's Dracula over the Halloween weekend and Van Helsing mentions the VD/Venus connection in the university lecture scene.

Venereal disease — the term — derives from Venus, the name for the Roman goddess of love which illustrates early (if sexist) understanding of the common mode of transmission.

Pray tell, what is your favorite Joe Walsh song? Not very likely it starts with a Q.

I finally saw Where the Wild Things Are yesterday, and I'm totally conflicted. Not a kid's film, and my 10-year old really disliked it. I thought it was visually striking (on par with the best Terry Gilliam at times), and it was imaginative and emotional. It just totally missed (or chose to ignore) what I think are the main points of Sendak's book. Rather than focusing on the innocence and imagination that makes childhood the amazing time it is (even when you're in the doghouse with your parents), the film explored the full range of human character flaws that can make childhood simultaneously so painful at times. The film was earnest, honest, and heartfelt — but it emphasized aspects of being a kid that I think are the antithesis of what shines through in Maurice Sendak's book and makes it a timeless book that becomes a favorite of each new generation.

Incidentally, has there aver been a survey correlating the profession of geology with mental stability? Not a large sample size I realize, but the two geologists I know personally (excluding Balta) are totally bat-$hit crazy.

Undeniably good use of federal funding, that bit of research.

Don't remember it ever snowing quite that early while I was still in Chicago.
