I have a pink toolset. Some of the tools in it are less than great though.

movies

Joyeux Noel, Tsotsi, Good Night & Good Luck, Transamerica, and Munich.

I am intrigued by Rt. 1 cuisine, namely Kowloon and the German Sausage Kitchen. I also want a roast beef sandwich with a side of cheeseburger at the Kelly's that's on that stretch. It's possible I should stop travelling on Rt. 1 because it puts weird and dangerous ideas in my head.

Anyway.

Nora, if you want, my roommate Rosemary works in the Roche Art & Architecture library, and I'm pretty sure I can volunteer her to offer you some help looking up sources and so on. Let me know if you want her contact info!

So, my grandmother just called me and she was telling about her travails with trying to get her prescriptions filled. She's writing to Hillary Clinton about it, which cracks me up, so I looked up Hillary's address for her on-line. I really wish she (my grandmother) had ever started using the computer, because now that she's practically blind, it really would help her. Ah well.

One of the biggest and most complete giant squids ever found is on display at London's Natural History Museum.

msbelle, I admit my ignorance, but - the Oscars are soon, right? So you're trying to catch up on movies before the actual Oscars?

Most of those movies didn't make it to Israel yet, if they ever will. I think only "Munich" is already playing here. But at least here we get to play "identify the next Israeli actor who appears for half-a-minute", or so I've heard.

I'm mostly Burrell re. foods. Except I drink my coffee with cream no sugar, am okay with green peppers (though I vastly prefer in descending order Yellow, Orange, Red), and I love love love oysters.

I've never met a cuisine for which I didn't like at least some dishes. (I can't make the sense grammatical in that sentence. Bottom line: I like all kinds of food.)

I can't think of a vegetable I don't like (beets should be roasted, as should brussel sprouts). I loathe black raisins and I don't really like blueberries (that's a texture thing).

TAR: I only watched the second half and I think I missed why the frat boys are so offensive. They behaved pretty decently in the hour I saw.

The hippies and the geek couple I also am enjoying. What about the mother/daughter team? What's their deal?

Nora, it is probably too specific and possibly not at all the direction you are going , but there are some reports on women in astro and physics here: [link] and here [link] ( afriend of mine was active in some of this, once upon a time.)

Yes, the Oscars are sunday, so I am doing my annual pre-show marathon. I have only seen 4 of the major nominated movies so far. I will watch another Thursday night, another Friday night, hopefully these 5 on Sat., and then 2-3 more on Sunday. It is possible that I would go to one tonight, but I doubt it.

The Oscars are this Sunday, Nilly.
