Salon's review of last night's Oscars:
As crazy as it sounds, this year's Oscar festivities were dynamic, funny and moved along at a good clip. Hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were hilarious, there were great jokes by everyone from Tina Fey to Ben Stiller, and the speeches were less long and dull than they've been in years. For once, no one rambled on forever and agents were rarely thanked. Not only that, but the usual endless tributes that serve no purpose whatsoever were gone, cut down to a great John Hughes segment and an entertaining horror-movie montage.
That does sound crazy. Perhaps she watched a different show.
It's a shame that crack has taken such a toll on entertainment writers.
there were great jokes by everyone from Tina Fey
Well, that part I agree with.
The radio host this morning was also praising Baldwin and Martin, but a lot of callers begged to differ.
I really really really want to go home sick, but one of my coworkers has already sent out an email that she's also sick but working from home. I'm hoping that maybe I can at least go home early, because I've got an incipient cough, a dizzy head, clammy skin, and I'm exhausted because every time I rolled over last night, I woke up because I couldn't breathe until I repositioned myself.
So, would a lava lamp work on Jupiter? Apparently it would.
Lava Lamp in a Centrifuge
Would a Lava Lamp work on Jupiter with its higher gravity? To find out, I built a large centrifuge out of Meccano and spun up a lava lamp.
Salon's review of last night's Oscars:
So fundamentally crack-addled.
I had more dreams last night about work. They weren't really anxiety dreams. More what-to-do-next dreams. I feel I'm giving up too much subconscious space, but it's not exactly like I have anything else to fill it all with.
Cameron peaked with Aquaman for me and that one doesn't exist. I've seen Holmes, Coraline, and Basterds(Basterds totally didn't do it for me...completely paralyzed with not caring very much.)
Crappity. I left my iTouch at home. No music at work for me. Yes, technically, I could stream something, but we aren't supposed to do that on our work computers. I hate working without music.
Martin and Baldwin were the worst part(s) of the show last night. So unnecessary and so unfunny.
World's laziest predators
A bunch of cute photos of predators failing to engage in predation when given the chance. One photo appears to be of a dog trying to hump a tiger, so perhaps NSFW?
