I am: Philip José Farmer This prolific author brings surprising depths to he-man adventure tales, and broke science fiction’s prudery barrier. Which science fiction writer are you? This is all very well, but I was shooting for either Keith Laumer, Alexei Panshin, James M. Tiptree., or C.J. Cherryh. As seen at DDtB.

The All Night Strut We went to see the latest offering in our season ticket series at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theater – and like many times before went in not knowing what to expect, and came out smiling. “All Night Strut” is a revue – it’s one of those pastiche shows with a lot of songs, a lot of dancing, and no plot, story, or structure to get in the way. It’s framed by vignettes with a clown figure called “Coda,” who introduces the show, plays around with lights, music, and dancers, and gets up to gently amusing mischief. Here’s…

Riley looks just like this when he's grabbed his favorite boingy-boingy toy in his mouth and tries to walk off with it before getting pulled back by the elastic cord. Just now David was playing with him upstairs and we had a case of "wacky cat" right on the bed. Riley went completely spazzy for the toy, and we were lounging at either end of it just laughing hysterically at him. Then he collided with the laptop and decamped for the relative safety of the floor. Funny little kitty!

I’m at the end of my third week of the 6-week fitness deal I got through work,and it’s quite evident that it’s starting to pay off. I’ve lost a few pounds, but more importantly, I’ve gained muscle mass, or at least muscle tone. Last week’s tally: I was somewhat slack at the beginning of the week, especially when I missed my original personal trainer session. But I picked up and got in Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday morning, had a trainer session that day, and yesterday morning. Plus, today David and I got in to Bally’s, and I did a…

Boing Boing: Murdered spy Litvinenko was killed with radioactive teapot British officials say police have cracked the murder-by-poison case of former spy Alexander Litvinenko, including the discovery of a “hot” teapot at Londons Millennium Hotel with an off-the-charts reading for Polonium-210, the radioactive material used in the killing. Holy CRAP, what a development. I suspect that actually the poison was introduced into the tea so that Litvinenko would drink it, and the radioactivity is just a carryover of that. How horrifying to think of all the people afterwards who might have used the teapot, or handled it, but fortunately it…

Here's a familiar byline I used to enjoy reading in the Salt Lake Trib – Holly Mullen makes a welcome addition to the rest of the citizen journalists of Blogaria. Or journalist citizens – it works both ways. mullentown » Blog Archive » How to Survive January All I can see of the Wasatch Mountains today is a faint outline. Same for the Oquirrhs to the west. The smog has swallowed them. It’s gone on far too long — a winter smogfest and temperature inversion going on three weeks now. The air is so chalky, sooty thick I gave…
