He's hot even before you add the smart, adding the smart ... even better.

So very true. I'm vaguely embarrassed to say that I even sent him gushy squeeish fangirrl mail once.

I had a double dose of PhD hotness on my tv last night--both Brian Greene on CR, and on the Science Channel, Paul Sereno, paleoarcheologist and the dinosaur world's answer to Indiana Jones ('cause, damn, does he make a wifebeater and slouchy hat look hotter than the Saharan landscape he's walking through on those documentaries!).

MRI ~ma for ita. I hope I'm not too late for it.

It's nice to be back to buffistas after being dark for Dad. However, they're banging on the walls here, and that's not helping my headache at all, so I think I must leave.

I think that Dark for Dad would make a good title for something or other.

Check out Dark for Dad's new album, They're Banging on the Walls so I Think I Must Leave.

Is anyone watching House? Can you tell me what they showed right before the "six months later" ? I missed the first minute or so.

I think my use of the laptop while sitting on the couch is causing injury. In large amount.

Old Alias is really good sometimes. I mean, a popcorn show, but sometimes popcorn is snackalicious.

I really need to catch these shows earlier in their runs. Though one-a-day reruns make the show go by nicely.

Is there anything else I really should be watching? Because obviously I cannot be trusted to find and watch good shows as early as I would like.

brenda

she was at her kids' talent show, being endearing and relatively poor. Sitting in the audience listening to them sing motown, she started screaming in pain and we zoomed in on bad things happening in her abdomen.

Thanks Abi!

brenda, I was reading here, so not paying as much attention as one might, but I'd guess that was a mom watching little girls in a school play and suddenly doubling over in agony with some CSI-cam stomach issue.

I'm thinking that the whole "editor" concept is kind of key to LTE -- otherwise, you have wanky blog comments instead.

This is what I'm thinking.

There's just no freaking point to spending a year learning needlessly complicated ways of almost solving problems that calculus, a mere school year later, will solve in three or four beautifully elegant steps. No point, I say!

This is related to my big issue with the way my stats class was taught last year. It was all this calculation and formulas and bullshit, when what we really need to know is how to use statistical software, and how to interpret all the zillions of research papers we read. @@

TiVo is giving me yesterday's Colbert Reporr, which had Brian Greene on it. My god, the man is such a complete superstring-y hottie.

It was weird seeing that right after watching last week's Criminal Minds, because that had string theory, too. In a crazy nutjob kind of way.
