I regret to admit that circumstances have forced me to desist posting for a while. Chris and I are in the process of moving our apartment to three separate locations, so the posting has been sparse and will probably continue to be sparse for another week or so. I may randomly post things up now and then during this week, but please be sure to check back next week when I should be able to resume regular posting.

Sound and Fury May 17, 2006
Signifying what?
After all the furor over the book, I expected something rather more than this.
The Da Vinci Code – Reviews – Movies – New York Times
I was too busy being annoyed by the inaccuracies in the book to enjoy the story, and the movie doesn’t sound like it’s worth paying to go see. Maybe once Netflix has it…
Ducks in a row May 17, 2006
Yesterday, Chris took me to the Duke Gardens to feed the ducks (yeah for my sweet hubby! 
). We didn’t get there until about 8:10, and I was afraid that they had all gone to bed already, but the first few ducks that we fed made enough noise to bring everyone else out for a late snack.
When we saw them two weeks ago, they looked like this.
There were nine of them, all lined up behind mama mallard. Last night, they came out again, and while there were still nine of them with mama (hooray!), they looked more like this.
Very, very cute. And lots of fun to feed. The adult ducks would eat out of my hand, but the ducklings wouldn’t quite come close enough. Chris got them to brush up against my hand by dropping pieces of bread in the water near where I was holding a piece. They were so soft! (The ducks, not the bread.)

Got CDs? May 11, 2006
Got old CDs? Got some time now that exams are done?
Well, this blog can’t think of any better way to burn that time than by performing challenging science experiments.
