Time to wake the doughnuts.

Master: Practice feeling good.
Tagged by Julie with Romantic Desires
I forgot to cry “no tag backs” so Julie got me with “8 things that appeal to me, that I would desire in an intimate/romantic partner”:
- Early 20s
- Dirty blonde
- Dumb as a rock
- Doesn’t know the word “No”
- Strong distaste for clothing
- Adventurous
- Doesn’t know where I live
- Has a twin sister
Ok. Now the real answer:
- A listening ear
- A smile and a giggle
- Trust
- Spontaneity
- Self-confidence
- Hugs and hand holding
- Honesty
- Everything Cathy
Is that sufficient to get me in trouble until the summer?
Like freedom? It’s going away.
Here’s a must read article by Tennessee Guerilla Women discussing Bush’s censorship of NASA’s leading climate scientist.
In several interviews with The New York Times in recent days, Dr. Hansen said it would be irresponsible not to speak out, particularly because NASA’s mission statement includes the phrase “to understand and protect our home planet.”
After speaking that significant cuts in emissions, particulars motor vehicles must be made or “climate change would eventually leave the earth ‘a different planet.'” Dr. Hansen received phone calls warning that there would be “dire consequences” if such statements continued. So this is what it was like under McCarthy!
UPDATE: MSNBC reports “Some scientist worry it’s too late to reverse climate change.“
More on Firefly Season 2
Joss Whedon has never heard of Ace Underhill.
Underhill said in an interview: “If [Joss] contacts me and says, ‘Hey, we’re not interested in Firefly anymore’ or ‘I’m not interested in Firefly anymore,’ then I will abandon the project
Underhill wants to do a pay per view model. That would be downloads to video ipod, pay per view television, etc. That model concerns me that the success would be limited.
Underhill added that he has contacted members of the Firefly/Serenity cast and had received a few rate quotes from agents, but he declined to say who. He acknowledged that he had not yet heard from Firefly/Serenity star Nathan Fillion.
The Browncoats have a discussion on this topic. Could be Underhill is just trying, and successfully, to get press for his company. I mentioned Underhill’s effort on Jan 23. See other Firefly posts.
Which way did he go? Following Lost (Jorge Garcia)
I was tickled to see Hurley (Jorge Garcia) on Becker last night! On Becker he played Hector Lopez (2003-2004).
Looks like he’s scored himself a movie for 2006! Sweetzer is a comedy that was in post-production on Sept 7 2005. Jorge gets third billing as the character Sergio.
Wow! Lost has done him well for the talk show scene.
Great shot!
Lost Thought
Of Grasshoppers
Student: My life is living me.
Master: What’s your plan?
Well now, doesn’t that just sum it up!
Gets THAT from her mother!
From the mouths of babes
Amy: “Mom! Would you open the gate for me. I don’t know how.”
Clacketty clacketty rattle squeak
Amy: “Oh! I do know how!”
From the mouths of babes
I cleaned the office a bit while my computer was “down” and scanning for viruses.
Amy: “Dad. Where’s this thing that belongs in here?”
Dad: “I cleaned. It’s gone.”
Amy: “But I don’t want it gone.”
Dad: “Doesn’t it look better?”
She then goes and sits on the stairs. Sings:
“And you don’t know what to do with dinner”
“I don’t know what to do so I’m just sitting singing”
“You do know what to do with cat poo” (maybe that was food)
“You don’t know what to do”
oops. Dad interupted. “I’m singing. Don’t talk to me while I’m singing.”
“You don’t know what to do with steps.”
“You do know what to do with cat food.”
Mom! Where’s My PSP?
New age punishments. Don’t take away their toys, just give them something substandard. This video is an amusing account of a PSP ripoff.
Biting News
I neglected to report big news in the house. Evan’s two lower front teeth have made their appearance! So added to the bangs, crashes, cries, Wiggles, and other assorted morning noises we add, “slurp slurp OW!” and sometimes some less than muffled cursing that when the kids repeat at church or pre-school I’ll be blamed.
Lost Tidbits
tidbit – That’s a cool word!
It wouldn’t be a day without some reference to Lost. I found what claims to be the transcriptions of the whispers! Pretty cool. This link surfaced in a review on Ray Camden’s site.
