Short attention span theater

A few random thoughts I've been entertaining lately:

Among ways to die, being sucked out of a disintegrating plane several miles above the ocean is not one I'd prefer.

News of the protests in Iran gives me some hope.

The idea that someone might remake Valley Girl sends a chill down my spine.

The California budget mess continues to distress me. There is absolutely no win in any of the solutions proposed, and I loathe no-win situations.

I really like the series of pieces being aired this week on NPR's All Things Considered about the cost of health care.

Loved the "Oversharing" discussion on Forum last week about today's virtual relationships. In particular the bit about inviting all one's facebook friends to a party, only to have one person show up.

Think about the difference between responsibility and accountability.

I always liked Valley Girl, but a musical version... oy.

Here's another musical that sounds easy to dismiss:
