First Interview!

At Gaia Online, one can find the Peter Pan Guild, the first and only guild on the site dedicated to Sir J. M. Barrie's classic. Musapan, Captain and moderator, contacted me for an interview. The questions are pooled from Guild members.
To visit the Peter Pan Guild, click here. To go directly to the interview, click here or on the sidebar graphic.
Enjoy.
Thanks to Musapan and the entire Peter Pan Guild for their interest and postings about me and Peter Pan's NeverWorld.

Happy Good Explosion Day.

Here's a different sort of explosion to celebrate the 4th of July.


Happy happy.

NeverMars?

I just learned (sorry if I am out of the loop here) that the current mission to the Red Planet has a project dubbed "Peter Pan." It's going to be 360° panoramic shot of the area around the Mars Lander. It's named for the mission's principal investigator (and in keeping with the fanciful names used by the Phoenix team for interesting objects at the landing site). This is quoted from the blog, Marscope. Thanks for the info, Hugues Le Roy!

Misbehave? Down, Austin!

Last night Bart and I attended Ain't Misbehavin' at the Goodman Theatre.
Though it did not blow me away, it provided a great time.
Very strong voices, great dance routines, top notch music and a delightful set.

On the way home, Bart spotted Dragonfly and Tall Boy in a "greasy spoon" from the cab window.
This time the serendipity isn't so amazing, as Tall Boy lives merely blocks away from us and the diner isn't even a whole block away. Bart had an omelete. I ate his (unwanted) hash browns and had a root beer float. We misbehaved. Just a little...all in fun.

Old Saying, New Twist III

Don’t judge a movie by its poster.

When I first saw the (ridiculously large) poster for Will Smith in Hancock, it looked like another “I’m tryin’ to get out of the Hood so I can make good, but I just need to do this one last ‘job’ and then I’m out…” film. Many months later, the trailer showed up in front of a movie we went to see. It’s something completely else…something I want to see. I don’t expect it to be more than a “summer fun” movie. If it does have more substance, so much the better. I'll probably post a review.

Addressing the Calendar Salad Tossed by Caesar

So starts July.
For Julius Caesar.
August is next, for Augustus Caesar.
And he’s the one who messed up the calendar.
He did.
He wanted himself and ol’ Jules to have the nice warm months named after them.
Sounds okay, sure, but look what he did in his arrogance.
September is from Septe, or seven.
October is from Octo, or eight.
November is from Nove, or nine.
SEE?
September is now the ninth month?
And we just accept this?
*sigh*
