So. What does the S'cubie Knowledge Base TM know about Pueblo, Colorado? I have a phone interview for a position as Assistant Professor of Biology at CSU Pueblo, and I'm trying to figure out just how much in the boonies it is...Erin? Well, I once spent some time at the University of Colorado (Boulder), and I thought the place was really beautiful. And that's as close as I can come to relevant experience.

Ah, Pueblo; it's a lovely place, from what I remember. I went to a wedding there when I was four, and ended up on the front page of the local newspaper. Apparently, someone took a shot of me staring up at the wedding cake with undisguised longing. Also? I was wicked cute as a kid. Possibly not the info you were looking for. It's about 100,000 people, and, after employing a little google-fu, apparently the renewable energy capital in the region. It's pretty populous for Colorado, which is not exactly crowded. So, not entirely boonies. Small city. But it's a beautiful part of the country, and it's only about 100 miles from Denver, if you need some metro action. And now, you are "evil cute."

Shooting at Ohio State U? A janitor who had been fired killed his supervisor, wounded another supervisor, and killed himself. Students were not involved. A sad situation, and a terrible thing - though I see it as more of a "workplace violence" thing than a "university/school shooting" thing . . . if there's really any differentiation to be made, there. Yeah, that's how it was at the UAH shooting. A professor shooting other staff because she was angry at not getting tenure, I think it was.

ERIN! I just remembered I never responded to your question about whether I was putting my vid on my website. The answer is yes, but I keep forgetting to do it. I'm sensing a theme here . . . . . Dude...you've had some rough times lately. No worries.

Nothing like the simultaneous advancement of cuteness and evilness. They complement one another...

I just added this to the Health and Wellness thread: I was reading a review of the latest version of the Atkins diet and the reviewer said to do the "DASH" diet instead. This is what it is: dashdiet.org/I've ordered the book from Amazon ($12.83 but I had 2 other books to bring it up to free shipping.) Also, I love Rachel's trade-marked "Scubie Knowledge Databse." And if she goes to work in Pueblo we do so need to do a Scubiefest there.

Getting a kick out of checking out post Oscar fashion reaction: tvguide, huffington, fuggirls, and even (accidentally) caught Showbiz tonight while channel surfing and seeing that a number (several) of gowns are simultaneously making both "best" and "worst" lists depending on the site. Let me see: Zoe Saldana and Charlize, even Sandra B (somebody hated her gown -- ), oh, yeah and Sarah Jessica. There were others. Essentially, anything that was even slight off the norm provoked both thumbs up and thumbs down reactions. Didn't see any that were universally panned. Universally praised yes, but even ones that some people hated, other people loved. Miss Cyrus' getup was universally panned, as was her posture. Julia, and I was not sad for that.

All good- scary close to the building, that dead tree. Julia, having been somewhat active and useful but not creative

All the drama over the last week or so got her a bit off track, but not a lot. And she's putting it behind her and moving forward. Huh. I'm talking about her like she's not even in the room. Whoops. I am definitely down a size, and that size is beginning to feel a little loose. So all is good!
