The Blob

E's birthday party is this Saturday and he'll be showing as many old horror flicks as he can find. He requested green jello to represent The Blob...

Kate? It's Dr. Hallen, I'm still at the office... something's come up, I need you back here right away. No you've got to come back, Kate, there's a man here with some sort of a parasite on his arm, assimilating his flesh at a frightening speed. I may have to get ahead of it and amputate. No... I don't know what it is or where it came from.
~ The Blob, 1958

Numbers

True ornament is not a matter of prettifying externals. It is organic with the structure it adorns, whether a person, a building, or a park.
~ Frank Lloyd Wright

Dissection

The biology final for E took place today. I'm glad I don't have to ever do this again. It wasn't fun 25 years ago and it doesn't look like fun now!

There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
~ Mark Twain

Finding Nemo

The submarine ride at Disneyland opens again offically as the Finding Nemo ride on June 11. We got a sneak peak tonight. Definitely head and shoulders above the old ride.


It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Windblown

We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things... but there are times when we stop. We sit sill. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.
~ James Carroll

Breakfast

'When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,' said Piglet at last, 'what's the first thing you say to yourself?' 'What's for breakfast?' said Pooh. 'What do you say, Piglet?' 'I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?' said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. 'It's the same thing,' he said.
