Happy Friday, everyone! Celebrate by flinging your toast eight feet in the air!

From Satori: Boy George's U.S. Visa has been denied, which makes his upcoming tour a little...tentative.

From Holly: those Zorbs might be a little more dangerous than previously thought. Hm.

Also from Holly: does your high school experience affect your future job choice? (Holly and I both think that our high school didn't follow this trend; maybe it's a generational thing.)

From both Holly and Cassandra: Kermit Love, the designer of Big Bird's costume, has died.

We end with a slew of great links from Cassandra:

Edgar Allan Poe, game theorist? Maybe!
AFI has put out lists of the top ten films by genre.
Meditation increases one's brain size. Om.
Great white sharks have been misunderstood, thanks to Jaws.
The final installment of the notebooks of Albert Camus have been published.
Was the eclipse in Homer's Odyssey an actual historic occurrence? Scientists are finding out.

Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! See you Monday.

Cassandra: Soooo Jinnet, which philosopher do you prefer? I always did have a soft spot in my heart for Camus. For some reason, I am able to overlook his sexist ways.

For real. How can I hold anything against a person who writes �I don�t seduce, I adapt.�

1:34 PM

Cassie: I mean surrender.

1:52 PM

Jinnet: I like "seduce" better!

3:04 PM

Cassie: It must be a lazy afternoon for you to post! Ohhh...So, let me comment on other links.

Ok, the list of the best films, what was that? I beg to differ with that list maker.

High School = Career article

I surely hope high school has nothing to do with career. Man. If so, I should get paid for being surly. Or, make a living at being an inmate as highschool was nothing more than a minimum security prison, for sure!

It is funny though, the part about cheerleaders being happy in high school and in the job market. I work with a woman who cheered in school. Today, she acts like she LOVES her job. And, it's a terribly boring job. But, she's been doing it for 35 years and can't complain, she says. Nothing better out there, says she. (Seriously though, I think she's unhappy and hates her job, she just doesn't know it). HAHAHA

This workday will end soon, right?
