Drtooth, what would you say are the top animated series on T.V. today? Any overlooked gems?

In my head...Going Down to Golder's Green by George Harrison : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNe7VuwuvLw&feature=feedrec Get down, George! So funny, at least to me! And way too catchy.

I was surprised to find out a few years back that Louis Armstrong had been a heavy marijuana smoker. It didn't seem to fit in with his positive presence and message. Again the reason was not "kicks" per se. Although he seemed really at ease in the white-dominated entertainment industry of the...

We'll never know how hard Ms. Winehouse may have tried to make it a go. Pursuant to what the good Doctortooth said, did you know that Carl Sagan smoked marijuana, not for pleasure but for science? He did it as an attempt to broaden scientific speculation.

Whoop. Nazif Topcuoglu is not a woman but a man, sorry for the mistake. Here are some other photographers you might like: Nature photography never interested me, because right away I would think, why not just go outside!? And look around. Then I discovered this fellow and all that changed...

Susan Raredon does amazing...x-ray photography of fish... http://photography.si.edu/SearchImage.aspx?t=1&q=&id=888# That's a stingray. Searching for her even nicer x-ray of a hammerhead shark, I ran across this startling wildlife photo: which led me to these 2 cooler-than-cool blogs on...

I was sad to hear this, and surprised. I live pretty much in the wilderness, so...I ain't up on a lot of things. I think that some people do not know they have something very special inside them: if they did, they would also see it in you, and then easily accept your habits. I know that...

Good for you and... What restraint! To wait that long to use up a free meal: whoa!

Quietly, women seem to be making great strides in the arts. The leading photographers seem to be young women, not men. (If I am wrong, just let me know!) Clever, unusual, beautiful, their work is re-imagining everything -they seem to be able to look closely without closing us in. What does it...

Hey, gang. Just came across the world's best doll photographer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawphoto/collections/72157618595442697 He works for Haute Doll Magazine: http://www.stellastreasures.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=62 Oo, la, la!

This is good news: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118034014 eh?

The Disney ethos was Christian. The morality inculcated over and over again in the films and T.V. shows was Christian. Sort of a Christian humanism. Hope was part of the fun. A core message was that you could live (really live) and be good. And share, and grow. Then you had Pinnochio, which is...

Disney moments: The Aristocats (1970) The last animated feature produced during Walt Disney's lifetime. (Jim was not the only one who died too soon.) It had plenty of personality, it had its own personality. It stood on its own, but flowed right in to the rest of the creations. Very sweet and...

You'll have to tell us about the meal! :insatiable:

the "f" word People who study language say this word (f***) is unusual in that, though it is used a lot, a lot of places, and has been used a lot for centuries, the taboo does not wear off, as it does for other words which no one is surprised to hear. In other words, what is really unusual...

Ha-Ha! :) Brings back memories of poetry readings gone by - successful and less-so. By the way: enjoyed your photo project. You have a good eye, and there is an interesting vitality or edge to your photos.

D'oh! I thought the video was pre-live....d'oh! Don't mind me...

How did the live reading of the poem go? Did people get it, do you think?

Interesting to hear about your Valentine's, everyone. I phoned my aunt last night and spoke with her, and told her that I loved her. Somehow you can't make it happen: just the moment to tell someone you love them, and when it does happen, the world becomes a big, good place.

I actually came to understand Ken this morning, and Barbie, after posting that. They seem impersonal -"bland"- because that is the sort of doll they are: they are supposed to leave room for children to bring to them their personality, their persona, their "lives". That just leaves me Big Jim...
