Music

What I'm listening to now


CD: Bangles: Doll Revolution
My favorite band in the '8o's has a wonderful new album out!

Alternative Christian...what does that mean? In this case, it’s bright, choral rock and roll.

What I'm watching now


DVD: 50 First Dates
Not exactly my genre, but this one is exceptional. A great date movie, too.


DVD: Xena: Season One
After experiencing this six-season grand saga when it first ran, going back to season one is like going home again. A fresh start.

Keeping an open mind

The courts are hearing another complaint brought by parents.

Judge to Rule on Georgia Evolution Disclaimers (Reuters). Reuters - A public school board in Georgia violated the U.S. Constitution when it placed stickers that challenge the theory of evolution on biology textbooks two years ago, a lawyer for a group of parents said on Friday. [Yahoo! News: Science]

If you're curious about what the stickers that "promote religious dogma" say, this is the text of the stickers: "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."

Not exactly Scopes Monkey Trial stuff in that sticker, from what I can see. Has evolution become the "new religion?"

On a completely unrelated note, don't forget to watch the Leonids next week. This year should be a good one for this annual meteor shower!

The Leonid Meteor Shower 2004: Modest Peak Expected Nov. 16-19 (SPACE.com). SPACE.com - Next week brings us the return of the famous Leonid Meteor Shower, a meteor display that over the past several years has brought great anticipation and excitement to sky watchers around the world.
