Samantha is the correct answer to that question, Owen! Unless it's Endora.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Because books.
The PBS station here in Chicago had a great thing going in the late '70s to mid-'80s, when they would show all Brit stuff on Sunday nights, starting with Monty Python at 10:00, alternative Brit comedies at 10:30 (usually Dave Allen at Large, but sometimes The Two Ronnies, The Goodies, or Fawlty Towers), and then Doctor Who at 11:00
I remember seeing bits and pieces of Python on late at night when I was a kid -- I know I saw the scene with the knight with no arms and legs, spouting blood, long before I ever saw the movie. I was sort of horrified, but also horrified because I found it so funny.

I only caught some of today's City Arts & Lectures (Ira Glass with Dave Eggers) while driving today, but based on that sample it's worth a listen just for the Buffy content.
PBS was how I got Monty Python and Doctor Who growing up, too. That made them "educational" in my head for a long time.

Well, and the tangential Buffista content.

Indeed. I couldn't find a subtle way of saying that, but that does nicely, Hec.

Is that available as a podcast?
ETA: nebbermind, I found that it does not on the website.

I caught Owen looking up Paul Lind on IMDB.
I have no idea why this is making me laugh my ass off, but it is.

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks for the Bittman link, Jess. I'm having a friend and her two kids over in the morning and wanted to maybe throw together an easy frittata.

I'm going to try to record the stream next time it's broadcast, Sue.
