Animal X on Animal Planet
I know I'm showing a large amount of geekiness by admitting I'm watching this program :) Interesting show, very odd narrator. Robert Stack would have been great - but this guy is just creepy.
Tonight's episode - looking for Texas Bigfoot. They're hearing primate-like sounds and finding tree limbs broken and twisted all around their camp. The "youngsters" doing the search are interesting. The creepy narrator-dude is probably going to give me nightmares. He's just a little too wild-eyed for comfort.
I like things just a wee bit out of the norm. When I was a kid, my favorite things to read were mysteries. Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, Hardy Boys. When I got a bit older, things like Easter Island, the Nazca lines, Stonehenge, UFOs, all captivated me. My parents could have squashed my interest early, being good God-fearing church folk but they indulged me. Now I look on that as brave on their part and damned supportive of a questioning mind. Yay them!
The two most intriguing books I've read recently have been "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown and on the bestseller list for ages now, and "Journeys from the Center of the Earth". This is a gorgeous book about geology by super hot Scotsman Dr. Iain Stewart, a companion book to the tv show "Hot Rocks" on Discovery channel. He's taken the angle of how civilization's beginning was influenced by the materials around them - therefore the geology of the area. I'm not doing it justice, but trust me - it's quite fascinating! Plus it's got the 2 S's - Science and Scottish accents. I can't imagine a hotter combination ;) Isn't that sad?!
Oh, yeah. I'm... which is it, a nerd or a geek? I couldn't troubleshoot a PC to save my life (good Lord, I typed "shave"! ROFL) but I think people that can do that are hot. I guess that makes me weird :) Cool. Being "normal" can be so boring and predictable.
I'm rambling. I should probably go to bed. See what happens when my beloved tblog site is down?

Sheryl,
You've never replied to my previous comment and I understand; no big deal. However, Mike Keneally will be in Columbus on June 10th! I'm going if I go alone!

I sure thought I did, shoot! I don't have the hang of Blogger yet.
I'm so jealous, I want to see Keneally SOOOOOO bad :)
I can't read your profile, am I in a timeout? :)
