doink
Sorry, not much time left over to drivel tonight. I spent a couple hours doinking around with train track on the model layout in the basement, and when I thought I couldn’t justify spending any more time on that, I went upstairs, sat my butt down in the recliner and read other people’s drivel posted… Read.

Contagion
I took in a matinee showing of Contagion with My Darling B this morning, which was a little weird. Not that the movie itself was weird, watching it at ten o’clock in the morning was. Movies ought to be watched at night, don’t you think? We do, but for reasons we can’t quite put our… Read.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded. But trust me. In twenty years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you. Read.

From the Great Big Photograph Album of People Distantly Related to Me but I Don’t Know Who: I think they’re play-acting. There’s a lot of photos of people play-acting in the Great Big Photo Album Etc. Sometimes they’re obviously play-acting on a stage, but sometimes they’re standing around in a house, or on a back… Read.

National Public Radio asked listeners to nominate their favorite fantasy and science fiction books, whittled the list down to a couple hundred, then asked listeners to vote for their top ten favorites. The aim was to discover what people considered to be the top 100 science fiction and fantasy books of all time. I’m a… Read.
