maurice, you don't scare me at all!

so the large hadron collider is out of commission for a couple months, general maintenance is pretty difficult at near absolute zero. to be honest i've been so lost in my new extended cable i might as well have been swallowed up. its nice to know i have a couple more months in this dimension though. i wonder how near, near is from absolute zero?

i listened to a great podcast about maurice sendak this week. it mentioned a birthday celebration at a new york y, and i was almost going to dedicate this blog to him, until wiki told me that his birthday is in june?!? terry? what's up with the misinformation? anyways i really wish that i could have seen brundibar. and birthday or not, good old maurice deserves a shout out. did i mention i have what i like to believe are first edition where the wild things are stuffed animals? so sweet. i couldn't find when they were first made and i was definitely not around at first pressing, but i like to think they're worth something and not just to me.

i never really thought of myself as much of a follower, but i am all caught up in the renewed vampire craze. i shouldn't really be surprised, i was hooked on vintage vampire a la rice... of recent though, its been octavia butler's fledgling, my dear twilight saga, and my new media true blood. plus as corny as it is, i love it when romance on screen transfers off screen. its okay, i admit i'm girly.
