Flash Gordon
“Mom, look what I found!” H.o.p., who has felt bad all day, and finally upchucked, not too long ago, every bit of food that went in his stomach since he got up, is feeling suddenly ALL BETTER (still, take it easy there) and comes trotting up to me with my old Star Trek episode guide.…

So when do we get that hot new Broadway musical where Alec Baldwin and J-Lo somehow represent the new Camelot and George and Laura never waving from its turrets because it’s not that kind of brave new world?
Where’s the picture of the new fucking huge American embassy in Iraq I saw a couple of weeks ago. This isn’t it, or maybe it was. Never mind, the image will have to serve as there seem to be almost no photos of something so big. Some AP photo At 104 acres and $592 million…

Wow! That's black Okefenokee soot all over the windowsill!
T Rex at Fire Dog Lake describes what it’s been like here in Georgia with these out-of-control wild fires. Incredible that they’re causing problems up here in Atlanta. Playing hell with my allergies, sinuses and lungs all week. Though we’ve no current air alert, I can swear I smell a hint of acrid smoke. Some…

Fernbank Science Center Observatory (2 views)
Fernbank Science Center Observatory We had a lovely night at the observatory at Fernbank. The weather was cool and clear. There weren’t many people and when there aren’t many people that means you get a chance to look at a variety of celestial bodies. Outside, one of the smaller telescopes was trained on the moon,…

Blasting the old "Homeschoolers are destroying the future of science!" argument
While H.o.p. is learning about how rats at a temple in India are revered and that at the end of the day people drink from their milk bowls with the hope of acquiring luck (his interest in the creatures that populate the Redwall world has him daily eager to learn more about rats, mice, moles…

Having polished off my last chocolate raisin, I will slide back under the desk
Drama kings and queens. Me (to H.o.p.): Don’t be a Drama King. H.o.p.: What’s a Drama King. Me: You know what a Drama King is. H.o.p.: To be or not to be? I’m stealing that one. * * * * * * * A while back I pretty much stopped writing about politics because, frankly,…

Again, just checking
Last night it was… H.o.p.: I have something to ask you, mom. How weird is it to find an alien for the first time in your bathtub? Me: Very weird. Today, talking with his Oma on the phone, H.o.p. started crying out, “Oh, daddy, not again! Don’t do it again!” and then would make huge…

Indeed, Virginia, You CAN Nail Jello To A Wall
Indeed, Virginia, You Can Nail Jello To A Wall AKA “Jello Christ” Which is how art works. First Stelarc makes an art installation of himself, hanging himself from hooks, appending an ear to his arm. Then H.o.p. says, upon glimpsing a pic of Stelarc’s ear, “Let’s make a jello man!” So, he makes a jello…

The Jello Man Tragedy
Making a Jello Man was harder than H.o.p. thought it would be. Those are the two shots I was able to capture before H.o.p., hysterically laughing, doubled over on the floor and that was that. Was time to step in and make sure we didn’t end up with jello all over the rug. Well, we’ve…

Stelarc’s Ear PORTRAIT taken by nina sellars
Hmmm. Came upon this story via Boingboing of artist, Stelarc, having this ear implanted in his arm. H.o.p. comes up behind me and asks about it. Me: An artist had an ear implanted in his arm. H.o.p.: A fake ear, right? Me: A cultured ear. It’s real. Kind of. H.o.p. turned around and walked off.…

Ding dong…
The blogs are abuzz with Jerry Falwell’s death. We decided not to watch the video on the Great Wall of China at Netflix because I read a review by someone who knows better (is from China) and they were lambasting it for misidentifying time periods etc. So we watched a video on Vienna and some…
