"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Are there a lot of blank pages? Decapitated heads lose consciousness after about 10-15 seconds.

I don't know what his justification is. But each piece is about two pages long.

Did anybody see Helen Mirren in Elizabeth I on HBO? Man, the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots was gruesome. Two whacks in closeup! Plus they went to pick up her head by the hair and her wig came off and her head went bouncing around all comic and undignified. The scenes of Catholics getting tortured were even worse.

Does the Dean's e-mail override everyone else? As in, is he the boss of your boss's boss? Because *he* said leave at noon. And I concur.

Yes, theoretically the dean trumps boss's boss (associate dean). But not so much in practice.

Hmmm... I should buy that Bowie video set. I've only seen the video for "Ashes to Ashes" once too.

Does it have any of his really old stuff? Like "The Laughing Gnome" or that mime thing?

Nothing that far back. But they do have really great clips of him on TV doing "Space Oddity" and such. It's an excellent collection. The video he did for "Jean Genie" is him and Cyrinda Foxe bopping around in San Francisco in 1972.

Ooh, it's available in the Borders in downtown Evanston, and also the one in my neighborhood. I'll have to pick it up to add to my holiday weekend fun....
