Give me an N!
Mentawhat?
OK, I’m all for spiritual retreats and the like, but what the heck is “mentalphysics?!?”

For the procrastinator in all of us
From an email I got this morning:

Hurry, the clock is ticking on your taxes! Pay your federal taxes with your Discover Card
Last I looked, the deadline was yesterday. And while it may technically have still been April 15 here on the west coast when they sent the message, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a post office open at 11pm.
Aside from that, I find the idea of putting taxes on a credit card somewhat disturbing, though if you don’t have the money on hand, I suppose it may be the best you can do.
Living in Harmony
On Highway 62, in Twentynine Palms, we saw this first coming from the other direction. On the other side it says, “Where if not now?”
At first we thought they had just messed up the wording, but when we came back along the same road and saw “When if not here?” it all made sense.
Something Missing
This is just around the corner from the “roller coaster.”
But think about it. If she’s a real patient, shouldn’t they show, well, her breasts? Not like that, you pervert, in a bikini or something! Gyms tend to show before-and-after (or just after) shots of people with muscled or trim torsos. The whole reason you put an “actual customer” in the ad is to show the results, right?
(Oh, this journal is going to end up getting filtered for sure!)
Not where I was expecting it!
The mystery of where the Farscape miniseries will air has been answered! From Sci-Fi Wire [archive.org]:
SCI FI announced it will be bringing back Farscape with an all-new miniseries — called Farscape: Peacekeeper War — slated to air in the fourth quarter of this year.
WTF? OK, it’s not the last place I’d expect – that would be Fox, or maybe Lifetime – but the Sci Fi Channel has spent the last year and a half distancing itself from Farscape, and a good chunk of that trying to move away from actual science fiction. I guess Dune must have done better than Scare Tactics.
Hmm, it might be worth getting cable again.
Further reading: Save Farscape, in particular Sci Fi Picks up the Mini [archive.org].
Congratulations to the Farscape cast and crew! We’ll be watching!
