Don’t understand Google Wave? That’s OK, neither do I. I do, however, understand Pulp Fiction, so this video really helped a lot!

The Wild Things Are Here

First TattooOne wild thing, anyway. I just took this picture myself because I’m too impatient to wait for Brian to get home to take it for me, which is why it’s so blurry. That, and probably because I had it done in 1992, LONG before the movie existed, so no trendiness here.

“Where The Wild Things Are” is my favorite book of all time and I’m afraid to see the movie because I don’t want it to ruin the book for me. In my experience, books are better than their film adaptations no matter how excellent the adaptation, and this is a classic. Even if people think the movie’s great, I still don’t know if I could bring myself to see it.

Winston Churchill, Bipolar Disorder, and Stigma

Sounds like the title of a paper, doesn’t it? I want to share a blog post that includes a magazine article written by a history professor who has helped me in the past and continues to be an inspiration. The article is a PDF link within his post: What If Churchill Hadn’t Tamed His “Black Dog”? Please read it.
