New Cosmos on the Science Channel. Same Carl Sagan, but new images and animations. I think I’ll go out to my bookshelves and find my copy of the book. And how cool is it that when I met my huz, he had his own copy of the Cosmos book, in French, that he had since he was a teenager too? My husband suspects that Hugo Weaving was imitating Carl Sagan when he played Mr. Smith in the Matrix movies. It sure works for me!
Share some of your favorite podcasts with me, mkay? Some of my latest finds are here, and the links are in the Bloglines list at the sidebar.
The Transmission – The best pocast about ABC’s Lost. I love puzzles, and this show is a puzzle, and it’s fun discovering how it all fits together.
Cast-On – A podcast for knitters
Celtic Music News – lots of great Celtic music
NPR: Most emailed stories – Since I listen to the podcasts in the car a lot, I miss some NPR stories, so this is the ones listeners liked the most from all the shows each day.
Hi My Name is Mark – I used to work with Mark Hoppus at the Wherehouse in San Diego, so it’s fun to tune in and see what he’s up to once in a while.
I didn’t really like the most recent Harry Potter movie. I knew the story, so that’s not it, I think it was the acting, maybe the director couldn’t get them to work as well as the director of the third film. I think I like that one the best.
I just saw the 40 year-old Virgin, and found it quite hilarious. I had no expectations, and I think that helped. I did squeak out a few eyerolls and a few groans, but the man-o-lantern almost had me fall off the bed I was laughing so hard.
Is anyone else addicted to the Japanese game show “Cooking Showdown” or “Dotch Cooking Show”? I Tivo it every Saturday and we try to guess who will win and which side has food that we would be willing to try. We have figured out that the side that gets the second tasting usually wins. Tonight they had noodles made of potato and sweet potato flour, and tofu made from American soybeans and seawater. Sounds wierd, but I would have eaten either side’s dish, they both looked yummy.
