oakenguy*There are giant gerbils (16 inches long!) rampaging in China. They're thinking of breeding and training eagles to try to control them. This is such a neat solution. Why can't we do it over here for rightwing talk show hosts?
*I'm back from my trip out west having survived the #1 rollercoaster in the country with only a bruised groin (I was clenching the safety bar. Very hard. I'll say no more.), AND having survived a near-drowning experience (otherwise known as "being out on a pond in ten feet of water") while kayaking.
*This week's Phoenix cover story about Somerville's art scene mentions, as one of many illustrations of how the Somerville is cooler than average, the fact that one ArtBeat featured Kaiju Big Battel years before they became widely-known. *I* did that! MeMeMe!! I was a horrible festival co-chair, I regret many things, but years later they're still talking about Kaiju rampaging in Davis Square. That rocks.
*Most importantly, it was just about ten years ago that a coffee date went askew and I found myself flung up against the side wall of a martial arts studio and soundly kissed. (Talk about pivotal moments: if I'd been standing a few inches to the right she might have sent me through the window and onto the mats in the middle of the Kendo class.) It was the best first date EVER, and as far as I'm concerned it never really ended.
