The Sunday edition

Today I woke up with very little memory of the night's dreams, just the name "Sartre" bouncing in my head. I don't remember anything about the dream except someone saying "Sartre" over and over. Maybe they were practicing? I blame Amelia. I also blame Malcolm in the Middle, as he once got in trouble for correcting a teacher's pronunciation of "Sartre". I have been dreaming a lot the past few nights.

Reading the newspaper this morning was not as fun as usual. Maybe KK's on vacation. Also, can someone remind me how to get around the nyt paywall? I've already used 15 of my 20 free articles for the month (whoops). An alternative is to read something else. I tried reading the Guardian today, but like...what are Tories?!

In other news, Nick Kristof gets it right again (I can't really wrap my head around the contraceptives-for-horses thing). Also, one of my big sources for learning about vaccine-related things is Orac, who just posted a video about anthropogenic global warming. I'm too lazy to watch it, so you should watch and tell me what you think. Cool? Cool. I'm glad we're getting along.

Finally, I learned of Ellie Goulding from last night's SNL. Her hair is pretty cool and she sings okay I guess.

Lights - Ellie Goulding

  1. I still can't pronounce Sartre. I usually just mumble the second half, which is how I pronounce most things regardless of language anyway.

    Apparently if you get to the articles from links, you can view as many as you want. There's this, but I've never used it. http://twitter.com/#!/list/FreeNYT/firehose
