Having The Painters In

Lousy cameraphone pic...


I think she did a good job painting. Hopefully better pics later.

That Time Again

Last day of class, the end of the semester and the Spring Theatre Trivia Contest is up!

Check it out:

Good luck.

Does It Look Like A Pirate Ship?

Now can you see the pirate ship?
How about now?

I can't decide if this is the coolest birthday activity ever, or just a way to fold, spindle, and mutilate several children.

Random Photos

I dumped all the photos I had kicking around, from my phone and my camera. Here's some of what I found...

What's wrong with this:

This photo was taken during carnival set-up. I don't remember who's booth it was, but when I saw it I thought it was an object lesson in how not to design a support joint.

Then there's this:

Pocomassino breaking her diet at Ninfa's in Houston over USITT. I swear, pics get into the phone and are just there forever.

Next up:

Tech rehearsal for the Commedia Project. Do you think this is what my boss had in mind when she proposed we do a "period Commedia wagon?" Me either, but still it turned out to be a good project almost in spite of itself.

And finally:

This is the first rental car we had in Chicago recently. While stopping for lunch I shut the door and the window exploded. I think I honestly said "now there's something you don't see everyday." I am now living in fear of the phone call explaining I owe for a new window. Wouldn't be fair, as my Aunt said: "you couldn't break a window like that if you tried, there must have been something wrong with the car." We'll see.

Somebody Else Said This Ages Ago...

Galactica Watercooler » Blog Archive » Starbuck Paints Original Series Ship Of Lights?: "Long-time GWCer Solai points out in the GWC forums that Starbuck’s painting from last week’s BSG episode “The Ties That Bind” closely resembles the “ship of lights” that appears in the original Battlestar Galactica series episode “War of the Gods.” As you can see from the screen captures above, they sure look similar."

Oh wait, it was me.

CAD, Dull Today I Think

Some Not Completely Stupid Ideas

Iraq: The ten commandments | Salon: "Bush will face the judgment of history, and it will not be forgiving. But that is not our immediate concern. The most important thing now is to recognize the mistakes that led us into the most disastrous war since Vietnam -- a war that will thankfully cost America many fewer lives than Vietnam, but that has had far worse strategic consequences. If we don't want to repeat those mistakes, there are 10 lessons we must take away from Bush's war. In honor of the recently departed Charlton Heston, let's call them the Ten Iraq Commandments."

*bad and stupid are not the same

I'll Get Right On That

Can renewable energy make a dent in fossil fuels? | Green Tech blog - CNET News.com: "4.2 billion.

That's how many rooftops you'd have to cover with solar panels to displace a cubic mile of oil (CMO), a measure of energy consumption, according to Ripudaman Malhotra, who oversees research on fossil fuels at SRI International."

Yeah, This Will Help

Think Progress: "At the cost of nearly $500 million, a Los Angeles-based company is “developing the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience, a massive American-style amusement park that will feature a skateboard park, rides, a concert theatre and a museum.”"

I wonder if I have former students working on this.
