Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet, other things) has directed a new 3D!?!?!?! version of The Great Gatsby. (I HATE 3D. In case you were wondering.)
It stars Leo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire – all excellent actors & visually, this trailer is gorgeous.
I’m really hoping it’s showing in old fashioned 2D too…
If you go to this site, it allows you to select your location & it will show you exactly where the other side of the world is from where you are. (Click on the picture below to embiggen).
As I suspected from the amount of time it took to get there, the other side of the world from Seattle is “near” South Africa. Actually, it’s almost exactly halfway between South Africa and Antarctica (another place on my “to do list”).
So much for the whole “dig your way to China” deal my parents told me about. Another parental lie exposed…
Dead.
My favorite line in the NY Times obit:
He added: “It’s a piece of fluff. I’ve been a fluffmeister for a long time.”
He’s so cool. He’s also an astrophysicist.
Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" This is his answer.
As Joni Mitchell said “we are stardust…”
They get even cuter! (stick with it past the shaving and slathering part )
“Sloth milk is somewhat hard to come by.” You’ve gotta love the BBC.
If you aren’t already familiar with PostSecret, you need to be. People send anonymous notes & postcards to Frank (who started the project) and Frank posts them on the website each week. There’s also PostSecret books – every time I see one in a bookstore, I sit down & end up totally obsessed for a good hour or so. It’s fascinating and touching.
This is a nice video about the project:
Um…there’s a kinda wide range here…
Look at the difference in likelihood of precipitation…
I’m diving in Cozumel Monday & Wednesday. It’s way more pleasant when it’s sunny out, but since you’re under water a lot of time, it’s ok to dive in the rain. However, my brother & sister-in-law are planning on joining me one day and doing some snorkeling, which is not fun at all in the rain. I’ve already moved them once from Monday to Wednesday. Now I’m all sorts of confused.
I feel pressure to actually start pinning now. I wonder if this is all part of a Pinterest plot?
