Day 04 — Your favorite book
1. I love “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd so much. I did see the movie first, which is a marvelous adaptation. The stories that will effect me the most, I’ve found, tend to be those from children’s/young adult’s perspectives. So many different aspects of life are covered in this book, and the style, characters, plot are so...

Christopher Columbus et Vulcans
My history seminar professor made a Star Trek reference today.
We were talking over C. Columbus’ “Four Voyages” papers, and his discussing interacting with the natives like it was no problem. The query was posed— how did they initially communicate with each other? My professor said:
“These are people from two completely different hemispheres. Was there a mind meld?...

Day 03 — Your favorite television program
I don’t watch a whole lot of regular TV (besides the Weather Channel in the morning so I know to what degree I’m going to freeze my face off walking around campus) thanks to the interwebs, and season dvds at the library. Lately I’m on a super-duper House, M.D. kick, nursed by (pun intended) my crush on Robert Sean Leonard. I enjoy the...

Day 02 — Your favorite movie
“Contact,” directed by Robert Zemeckis, based off of Carl Sagan’s novel.
This movie. I don’t even know where to start. The characters and their actors, the plot, the theme, the soundtrack… I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve watched it. It really does something to me.
“I was given something wonderful,...

“Wujikari, Yartijumurra, Arawunga, Tokwampari”
Before a language dies we record the last speaker to capture the sounds of the words. When he dies we go on living. There is rain, whether it lands on the grass, on the roof, or out at sea. It is wind that rattles the windows and whips the trees. The children of Bathurst Island now sleep inside and can no longer say when it is first light...

Pale Blue Dot
icapturecastles:
“We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and...
