Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2007 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
People at work are loving the new Discovery Channel show "Planet Earth." However, one colleague described a heartbreaking scene where a mama elephant has to leave the worse-performing of her two babies behind during a yearly water-seeking migration. Then, the baby recovers, and tracks his mom's tracks....and starts going the wrong way! The copter shot zooms out and you see the baby entering a forest, on the other side of which sits nothing but a vast desert. Noooo!
March of the Penguins was hard enough.
Other discovery: Le Tigre, via Sarah, whom I miss. "We tell the truth they turn up the laugh track."

About the animals...I totally understand. I can't watch animal shows in which animals are shown suffering. I know it's part of life and humans go through stuff like that, but animals have a special place in my heart. I need a farm big enough to save them all. Maybe one day! :)

I feel I should mention that Netflix has three of the four available, but this is as close as they get on Bill "Sex Bomb" Nye.
oh, people are presenting papers on them (Le Tigre) at one of the conferences I am going to.
