Space Oddity

…performed by Cmdr Chris Hadfield.

It’s marvelous.

Dogs Teaching Chemistry!

(h/t to A Blog Around the Clock)

Saturday morning, with poetry

No need to thank me.

Dance, little sister

It’s the little legs that make me go awwwwwwwwww

Sunday afternoon, writing

It goes like this:

Ok, so I’m not actually writing at the present time. But I am thinking about sentences, and what plot point goes where next, and whether I will fall off the back of the treadmill before I reach the end.

Honest.

Going back to it right now.

Really.

The Art of Swaddling Slippery Sloths

An interview with Alan Rickman

25 minutes long. Worth your time. His takes on risk-taking, editing, the written word, all interesting and pertinent.

Thanks to Liz Williams over on Facebook for the link.

Dolphin stampede

This would be such a cool thing to see in person.

I used to see dolphins when I lived in Florida, but only one or two at a time. Nothing like this.

Ear worm

I don’t often get classical earworms, but Beethoven’s Rage Over a Lost Penny has been looping through my head all day.

It’s appropriate. Not that I’ve lost anything, but the chasing one’s tail air of the tune just fits.

Shakespeare’s English

It’s 10 and a half minutes, which is longish for a You Tube clip. But it’s a fascinating discussion of Shakespeare’s plays being performed in the English of the time, aka Original Pronunciation. Rhymes that didn’t in Modern English rhyme once more. Puns pop out where before, the modern pronunciations obscured them.
