Dum Vivimus, Vivamus: I blame/must give credit to the TV people.

I blame/must give credit to the TV people.

My kids have been watching A LOT of Mythbusters lately on Netflix, because my wife and I decided it fell under the heading of 'educational programing'...at least by the summer definition.

Yesterday, the girls set out to do some experiments, and I guess the felt a little jealous of Jaime and Adam's friend Buster, because they did a little repurposing to make themselves a crash test dummy.

Poor Barbie...she's going to need a day at the Snip n' Style Salon and Spa when my kids are done with her. I wonder if they make a Barbie Emergency Room Playset?

"What did I want?

I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The games' afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.

I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
-- Glory Road, Robert Heinlein

Why?
