Here’s the talk in all its nervousness. Please be gentle with me. I do like that O’Reilly had my actual talk proposal up on its site here. I hope people don’t start believing that my friend Mark is mean to animals just because his name and “drown” and “cat” exist in the same sentence in [...]

Wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights
I’ve never actually read Wuthering Heights. I think I tried to back in high school but found the characters a bit too melodramatic. Also Catherine seemed like a real bitch, at least in the movies, which I never saw the point of. From what I gather, the story has these two kids who grow up [...]
A reason to live to be 33 years and 1 day old
You’ve seen the new Tron Legacy trailer, right? I know I’m a week and a half late on mentioning it, but it’s been giving me multiple nerdgasms and it took this long to calm down enough to type. I saw this trailer in Imax 3D when I went to see Alice in Wonderland Friday before [...]

Arts education plus prescription painkillers
