  1. But to answer your question, yes, there is something worse than a smart mouse. A smart phone.
  2. I also say get a cat. It's the way nature's been dealing with mice for hundreds of thousands of years, at least.
  3. I always hated Wendy's burgers.
  4. For me, the Stitt is the REAL "Tune-Up!" album.
  5. Hmmm. Is it human's fault that THEY taste so good? (Or so I've heard.)
  6. I don't believe that picture of Saturn. (Well, I guess I do, really.)
  7. I've watched a couple movies and some TV shows on Netflix streaming through my kid's x-box 360, and watched an episode of Breaking Bad on Amazon streaming. The first seems fine but there's limited content (that may change.) The Amazon seemed great, but I had to buy the episode, $1.99. The future? Maybe, but as usual, I'll be one of the "middle-switchers"---neither an 'early-adopter' nor one of the last.
  8. This week's Breaking Bad was particularly good I thought.

    Sly Stone

    There's A Riot Goin' On is my personal favorite, an album that just keeps on giving.
  10. I'd say it holds up damned well. The only difference I found in my response is a strong desire to read Faulkner now; that didn't happen back then... Nice; glad to hear it. Thanks for the response.
  11. Definitely one of the great ones! Speaking of which, I just started reading this one for the first time in decades: That's weird...the cover made absolutely no sense to me until I posted that. I couldn't see the baby's face on the actual cover until I saw it here! More Than Human is a classic, though I haven't re-read it since the first time, which was in the 70's. Perhaps I'm subconsciously afraid I'll be disappointed?
  12. I've gotten a ton of Anderson's books at used bookstores; more than I'll ever get around to reading, probably.
  13. The picture reminds me a lot of Nevada, only more pleasant-looking.
  14. I first read this in eighth grade. It had a big impact on me then. Less impact in your eighth decade! I'll take your world for that.
  15. Last weekend saw "Captain America" with my wife and younger son. Very fun. Good casting, with some real care being put into it, like the first two Spiderman films in that respect, or the first Iron Man. The music seemed a little off, somehow, but that's a minor quibble.
  16. I first read this in eighth grade. It had a big impact on me then.
  17. I was initially going to skip "Captain America" but with all the good reviews it's been getting, I'll most likely see it during the next week or two.
  18. Me too. (Perhaps ending the episode in a Denny's was an actual nod to Tarantino, though I don't really care either way.)
  19. They would NEVER let a show have a one-minute title sequence now!
