Ig Noble Birth

Tonight would have been when I was going to the Keane concert.

Somehow, it's okay to have had the cancellation in light of why.

As long as Tom gets better, that's fine.

I went ahead and did a practice run with the Halloween costume; all of my bits and pieces fit the way they should.

John told me I looked exactly like who I was trying to look like.

Keisha Castle-Hughes has a bun in the oven.

She's the young lady who was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar at the age of 13 for her work in Whale Rider.

She's now 16, and has been with the babydaddy for three years.

I have observed a slight undercurrent of Inefficient Role Modeling, and so forth.

I guess this means I have to turn in my WWKCHD? bracelet.

Darn.

The Ig Nobel Prizes were announced, hard on the heels of the Nobel Prizes.

Among the winners were a US-Israeli study into how a finger up the rectum cures hiccups and a report into why woodpeckers do not get headaches.

Another deeply whiffy movie courtesy of Cinema Insomnia With Your Host Mr Lobo -- Superargo! It's a blessedly wretched Italian Spanish co-production about a guy in a leotard who wants to save the world.

Mind you, it isn't just the movie that makes CI so great -- these good folks have dug up previews and interstitials from science fiction and horror movies of all levels of quality over the last forty years. Oftentimes the preview materials were the only good scenes from many a skiffy stinkaroo. And you can't miss the cartoons indicating that it's time to go get something to eat.

I don't miss Creature Features anymore. Mr. Lobo has ascended to the Sacred Yellow Rocking Chair. What a shame that it's the *only* truly fannish thing on local television.
