A fun fiction wintertime read: An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good.
Watching "The Wire" and reading "The Corner" (both David Simon productions): Part 1.

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be pop-culture-addled idiots.

So this is a humbling story, but it also made me laugh, so I thought you might enjoy it too.

I saw this headline today on the Interwebs:

Meet Annie Jump Cannon, Who Cataloged and Ranked Over 300,000 Stars By Their Hotness

And I clicked on it, because I thought, awesome, I totally want to see where all my fave British TV and movie stars rank on that list.

Really.

Now, in all fairness, I've trained my Yahoo to give me exclusively pop culture, TV, and British Royal Family news, so how this actual STAR-related science-y link got in there, I'm not sure. But there you have it. I'm an idiot. And a shallow idiot at that. This probably explains why I didn't get a very good grade in my high school physics class.

That is all. Enjoy your week, everyone.
