Biggest and Brightest Full Moon of 2010 Tonight →
Good thing I will be on a plane to Denver, up in the sky where no werewolves can get me.
Hat tip Ken.

On appreciating Mom's humor.
me: she's so funny! when did that happen
Colin: when she wasn't spending every waking moment worried for your well being and creating a self-sufficient young woman
(... and thank you, Colin, for putting me in my place. I need it pretty regularly.)

The story on "That Western Skyline."
I thought the song was so sad, and I asked my brother what it was about. Then I found this on Daytrotter:
“This is about a girl from Alabama that I have always been pretty taken with. She moved out to Los Angeles, where I live, to cut a record with her band and after three months or so, started to realize that she didn’t like LA very much. In that judgment she was forming, I ended...

Talk on imagery blogs.
Of course, I love writing, good writers, and blawgs. But these are some awfully intriguing blogs that just collect photos. Distinct from photo-based tumblrs, with theme driven posts.
Where is the cool?
Miles Fisher.
Celestine Cooney.
Yay Everyday.
Check ‘em out.

3 quotes on kindness.
Seemed like time to recycle them.
“I did my best for you, son. I gave you all I had. More than anything I wanted to pass on to you the one heritage of the men of our family, a certain quality of spirit, a gaiety, a sense of duty, a nobility worn lightly, a sweetness, a gentleness with women—the only good things the South ever had and the only things that really matter in this life.

Fair warning, I haven’t seen Avatar. But this is hilarious: “James Cameron’s completely immersive spectacle “Avatar” may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora.”
And you aren’t going to Hogwarts either....

On living with sybaritic gusto.
My dad gave me the unabridged version of Stranger In A Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein for Christmas, and 250 pages in, I can understand why the original editor cut the length.
But, it is great. And when the pacing is on, and doesn’t get bogged down in speculation, it is incredibly fun and funny to read.
The best part so far is the development of the character of Dr. Jubal Harshaw. Read...

Walk The Line.
Oh man, I can watch that movie every time it is on TV.
However, there is just something about the (fake?) Tennessee accents that always drives me crazy.
By the way, Idol is on. Go watch. I don’t understand you if you aren’t fascinated by this show.
