Apparently GetGlue decided to go ahead and autopost a few of my checkins over there. Hence: an image of Katy Perry on my blog. Sorry. Not about Katy Perry. About the autoposting. Dumb.
“I’m not ashamed of it. I really like Katy Perry. Listening to “The One That Got Away” right now.”

“I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That’s what gives the theatre meaning: when it becomes a social act.” — Orson Welles

“Perhaps one of the saddest things Charlie Brown has in common with his creator is their deaths. Schulz knew he was becoming sick in the late nineties and announced his retirement in December of 1999 and requested that the publishers discontinue the series after his death. He continued to produce enough Sunday strips to last through mid-February, and on Saturday, February 12, 2000, he passed away. Only two hours later, the final Peanuts strip was printed.” — http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/74261#ixzz1eNwS7bUL
“WHAT CAUSES LIGHTNING? As more and more water droplets collide inside a cloud, their atoms bounce off each other more forcefully. This knocks off electrons. The ousted electrons gather at the lower portion of the cloud, giving it a negative charge, while the upper part of the cloud becomes positively charged. Eventually the growing negative charge becomes so intense that electrons on the Earth’s surface are repelled and burrow deeper into the Earth. The Earth’s surface becomes positively charged, and hence very attractive to the negative charge accumulating in the bottom of the cloud. All that is needed is a conductive path between cloud and Earth, in the form of ionized air.” — http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2009/0109-global_warming_causes_severe_storms.htm
