Go Me, your Halloween festivities get a big "Fuck Yeah".

Thursday, November 05, 2009

This year's halloween extravaganza (luski style) in my apartment was a huge success, just like last year. Again, we had some pretty sweet costumes - I was a robot (with midwife setting), my flatmate Nadja was a pregnant zombie (she gave birth on the dancefloor) and we even had a Polypoly! But the highlight for me was the three Sesame Street martians who ran around the flat yipping!

This inspired me to watch some videos on youtube. This one is my favorite because they hide themselves behind their lower lip when they get scared. Hilarious:

OK, I started watching Glee, also known as "High School Musical".

It fulfills 100% of the recommended daily allowance of:
  • Pop music
  • Lip-synching
  • Spontaneous choreography
  • Conversational breaks for solo singing
  • Cheerleaders forced to wear their uniforms to school every day
  • Jane Lynch

Quotations by Author

Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996)
US astronomer & popularizer of astronomy

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Carl Sagan

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.
Carl Sagan

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
Carl Sagan

I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.
Carl Sagan

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?
Carl Sagan

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.
Carl Sagan

In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
Carl Sagan

It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese.
Carl Sagan

One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
Carl Sagan

Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.
Carl Sagan

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl Sagan

The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
Carl Sagan

When you make the finding yourself - even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light - you'll never forget it.
Carl Sagan

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
Carl Sagan

A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.
Carl Sagan, "Contact"

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion.
Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP Keynote Address

Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves.
Carl Sagan, Cosmos (Blues for a Red Planet)

It's a Carl Sagan-off!

Holy crap! SCIENCE





I know that the molecules in my body are traceable
To phenomena in the cosmos
That makes me want to grab people in the street
And say, have you heard this??

Joan Jett: One time I was at this bar, you know, and there was this jukebox. And, um, my boyfriend said, "I love rock and roll. Put another dime in the jukebox, baby." And uh I was like, "Okay." So I put a dime in the jukebox. But uh, it didn't work. Because jukeboxes take quarters. (laughs) Anyway, we went back to my boyfriend's place, and he said, "Eat this bag of circus peanuts while I watch!"
You should add Gilmore Girls to that MOABlog TV show list.

Also, you should watch Gilmore Girls.
