12:09a - The only good bug is a dead bug?
Watching Starship Troopers on cable tonight, since it was sci-fi and just happened to be on. Sometimes, that's all it takes to get me to tune it.

But tonight, it just gave me the chills. There's a segment where Buenos Aires gets destroyed by a mass driven asteroid sent by the aliens. They show very graphic scenes of buildings reduced to rubble with people mangled under the debris. And death tolls, and reactions from people ("The only good bug is a dead bug!"), and the Countdown to Victory of the military reaction.

Maybe I'm seeing too much into it, but... Deja vu.

My cats are unfazed by catnip.

I am disappointed.

Maybe this means there's no higher number on the crazy dial.

12:28p - Who's a mythology geek?
So today I got my 2 DVD set of the Bill Moyer interviews with Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth. Watching it now.

Yay.
