Physics Fun
I forget, sometimes, how much I enjoy doing science...not just reading about it. Case in point ( Read more... ) -
The Hobbit
This was the first third of a prequel...and I am totally fine with that. It was gorgeous and fun and nostalgic and I'm deeply impressed by the way they attempt to weave it into the larger tapestry of history and foreshadowing.

Avengers
Short review: That move had ALL THE AWESOME!!!
Slightly longer review: We love Joss Whedon, but sometimes fear he's over-hyped based on older material...then he comes out with THE AWESOME.

I can only hope the rest of the ( Read more... ) -
Dreamwidth invites
On the off chance someone interested in crossing over (or just setting up a backup) hasn't already done so, leave me a note. I've just got 10 of them. Comments will be screened. -
Castle: To Love and Die in L.A.
The police-work got rather thin and wobbly, relationship-wise, this was an excellent episode; showing that the writers really do believe they can beat the curse of Moonlighting ( Read more... ) -

Everything has its time and everything ends."

R.I.P. Elisabeth Sladen
There are worse eulogies.
The really sad thing: there's no one at my office who has the first clue who she was.
