• My favorite line from the comics today so far - “I have no stomach, and I must barf.” Thank you, Ellison-cum-Van Lente! #

• @Remender What an auspicious way to start your visit to sunny Florida, the Mecca for tourists and those waiting for death! #
• @PBCliberal Its far too early in the day for that kind of pun! Perhaps once I’ve had a drink and/or spoken with a student, I’ll be ready. #
• @PBCliberal I love Marc Shaiman! I totally missed that it was him on the piano. His score to the Addams Family movie was spectacular! #

More Media Mess Coming!

I just need to encode and upload, and soon you’ll enjoy more of our weekly dorkfest!

Prop 8: The Musical!

We just saw Neil Patrick Harris last night at EPCOT for his very last Candlelight Processional performance this year. He was funny before and after his narration, but not disrespectful about the material. From what we’ve heard, this is an improvement over previous year’s performances.

And now for something completely different!

Courses!
