<3 John Stossel! Always have. He's the best thing about 20/20 IMO. This special (like all his others) is a must-see. Enjoy.

He also wrote a book entitled "Myth, Lies & Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel -- Why Everything You Know is Wrong" -- an excellent read by the way. The man does do his research on all sides of issues.

Note to self: Never get this far behind in your graduate coursework EVER again. Nothing like getting down to the wire and having approximately ten assessments to write and have turned in for submission in less than 48 hours...( further explanation )

This is really silly but it made me smile. My comment (my username is blueraingirl2005 on AIM) was used in the latest Wub Tub Blog Daily Dish entry over at WUBS NET about the latest General Hospital "publicity stunt." For any GH (and Night Shift) fans who are staying spoiler free, I'll lj-cut the info...( click to see who's returning to the cast and some stuff about NS )

Now back to my graduate coursework I'm supposed to be doing -- reading up on Educational Psychology (right now concentrating on Cognitive Theories of Development). Actually I do enjoy this part a lot better than the last module on the History of the U.S. Education System. *YAWN* But I've always done well in Psychology/Behavioral Science type classes. If I hadn't majored in Math for my undergraduate degree, Psychology would definitely been the next choice. :)

OMG, that was THE best Lost episode since...well, since the last Desmond-centered one honestly. All this season's episodes have been pretty good and have left you saying 'WTF' several times. But this one...sheesh, this one was just awesome.

Watched this one while Ep. 5 ("Adam") is downloading. And...

It's silly; it was fun and everyone on my f-list is doing it =)

You are breakfasty, like a pile of pancakes on a Sunday morning that have just the right amount of syrup, so every bite is sweet perfection and not a soppy mess. You are a glass of orange juice that's cool, refreshing, and not overly pulpy. You are the time of day that's just right for turning the pages of a newspaper, flipping through channels, or clicking around online to get a sense of how the world changed during the night. You don't want to stumble sleepily through life, so you make a real effort to wake your brain up and get it thinking. You feel inspired to accomplish things (whether it's checking something off your to-do list or changing the world), but there's plenty of time for making things happen later in the day. First, pancakes.

I gotta say so far Torchwood Season 2 is looking spectacular, especially Ianto!
