I own the extended DVD set of “What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?”, also known as “Down the Rabbit Hole”. I can’t remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in “What the Bleep”: It’s terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, […]
This brilliant film is making the rounds. I found mine over at A Pacific View. Here’s the comment I left there after seeing this video: Absolutely stunning video! Finally one that clearly gave me an idea of scale. Especially going back home. If any aliens are visiting us, it must be purely by accident, because […]
I was tagged on Facebook. Since I prefer blogs to notes in Facebook (where a complete stranger who isn’t my friend (hmm) can’t read me), the movie tag is posted here. Rules are: Don’t think, just write down 15 movies that left a lasting impression on you. If you want, tag 15 people. In no […]

Sparkling Red has tagged me with a meme about what I would take if I were on a deserted island. At least its deserted. Drives me batty when people say “desert island”. Hey, that’d be Catalina off Los Angeles, and there’s people and mini-golf and boats and hotels and bars there! No such luck this […]
I have participated in NicoleB’s scavenger hunt. My finds can be seen here. Whee!
Yeah, I joined the great unwashed, er, wordy and have a Twitter account. See sidebar at right. No, your other right. Thanks.
I feel tagged by Protege. The rules of this photo tag are: Post the 4th picture in your 4th folder and explain it, plus tag 4 people to do the same. My definition of “4th folder” had me opening up CD art, specifically the cover to Alan Parsons Project’s “Pyramid”. The funny thing about boys […]
With a nod to Protege, who did this first: Your Word is “Why” You see life as complicated and intriguing. The only thing you know for sure is that you haven’t figured it all out yet. You question everything and believe very little. And whatever you believe is likely to change. You are interested in […]
Ah, yes, the world of belly-button lint and pure trivia, coming together in graceful order for embarrassing reveals on a blog near you.

…there’s this, since I have absolutely no inspiration whatsoever for a blog post. You Are 67% Creative You are beyond creative. You are a true artist – even if it’s not in the conventional sense of the word. You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times. How Creative […]

Today was the first day of my two weeks alone in “customer reception” where I felt was on top of things and even had some time to goof off (meaning, surf the ‘net). It’s been busy, but busy’s good. Busy is far better than bored. (I can’t believe how fast these two weeks have flown!) […]
