Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Day!/ Columbus Day
Do you guys get some sort of default Holiday in November that we don't get? I don't know how this works.
It's not actually a "New World" if people are already living there. Here's to 500 years of poor decision making and syphilis. Don't go to the post office.

Light Monday
Item #1:
Randy sent this item:
Apparently somebody (possibly the California Dairy Council?) put together a Rock Opera about... a sci-fi future in which milk has made everything better. Look, I can't explain it. But if you've got 20 minutes or so, be prepared to have your world rocked.

Seriously, you need to watch this thing. Its mind boggling.
Item #2:
I think the McBride siblings will appreciate this most of all:

Item #3:
Apparently, Dr. Robert Bakker, one of the most famous of paleontologists, is now at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I have no idea how long he's been there, but I just saw him on a NatGeo documentary, and that's where he's at. Who knew?
I read Bakker's book "The Dinosaur Heresies" partially in high school and then all the way through in college. He's an interesting guy, and I'd be curious to know what's going on at that museum that they landed Bakker. Sounds like they've upped the ante since I used to go there in high school every few months.
here
I'm not sure about Bakker's reputation these days, but the way I was told in college (back in the mid-90's): he was not loved by the dino-community as he had sort of by-passed the usual route of scientific research, publishing and debate via journals and conferences, and instead went straight to a publisher and got his book out there to the public. "The Dinosaur Heresies" title was a reference to Bakker acknowledging that his hypotheses weren't accepted by the dino-community, but he wasn't letting that slow him down. And in the end, some of what he proposed is now widely accepted as theory.
More milege may vary.
I don't have an opinion on the whole thing, and I don't even know if my facts are correct.
I really, really hope a mention of Bakker doesn't accidentally draw a bunch of angry paleontologists in the comments section.
Item 4:
I'm going to get an Aye-Aye, and I'm going to put it in your kitchen.

When Jamie is Gone
This weekend I:
- hung out with Jason, ate dinner, sort of watched TV
- went to a midnight movie, "Paranormal Activity"
- watched the last half of "Evil Dead 2"
- watched the last half of "Reality Bites"
- slept 4 hours
- watched "The Longest Day" (which was really very good, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Glad I finally saw it.)
- wrote official "nakedness" policy for League of Melbotis
- Went to post office - learned you can do all your postal stuff online these days and there's no reason to go to the post office
- Backed up line at post office talking to clerk about "Death of Superman" and various Justice Leaguers and DC Animated cartoons
- Went to: Target, Spirit: The Halloween Store, Home Depot, Lowe's (neither had what I was looking for), HEB (a local grocery)
- Watched the UT/ Colorado game with Matt and Nicole
- Hung out
- Re-did shelves
- Slept 7.5 hours
- am drinking coffee and considering more sleep
- Scout is asleep and laying on her back. She's dreaming she's running, so her feet and tail are moving. Its hilarious.
- am going to go into my office and do some comic-collecting-related activity
