I need to find out where it's playing (damn these limited release films!) and line up a babysitter. <BR/>By the way, I was overjoyed to be able to purchase some poppets of my very own! Thank you. They will have a special place here, somewhere between the status of valued artwork and treasured pets. I hope they will enjoy university life- I've got my own plans for POT. <BR/>:-)Otherkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008601165091139258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1161618427571294762006-10-23T08:47:00.000-07:002006-10-23T08:47:00.000-07:00Robert and I saw the Bodies here in Atlanta.

I agree with Ivenotime that the displays of the circulatory system (limbs, organs and entire bodies shaped from the dense network of red or blue arteries, veins and capillaries which feed them) were probably the most bizarrely beautiful part of it. The Atlanta exhibit also had a display of the nervous system, a brain with eyeballs still attached leading down to the spinal cord and nerves of the trunk and extremities that looked to me like some jellyfish or octopus creature, both human and strangely alien at the same time. I do hope you get a chance to see one of these exhibits somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1161615397887385832006-10-23T07:56:00.000-07:002006-10-23T07:56:00.000-07:00The show is in Boston now and I haven't seen it ye...The show is in Boston now and I haven't seen it yet, but need to.<BR/><BR/>And you don't know me at all, but I've been reading for months now (and recently ordered some pieces from your Halloween sale) and would be most happy to put you up in Boston in a clean, safe, place inhabited by three grad students and two cats.

There were some bodies which consisted of only the blood systems, eerily beautiful, lacy and fragile. They had a few pieces that you could handle as well - a lung and a liver I believe. My daughters loved it as well, one enough to switch her major to the sciences. Hope you can see it!ivenotimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910607154293604022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1161607724156472572006-10-23T05:48:00.000-07:002006-10-23T05:48:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed The Prestige over the weekend.

Great comparison you make to that scene, it was a very interesting one from the perspective of the motives that drove the character to later actions. And it was GREAT to see David Bowie in that roll!Carl V. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394noreply@blogger.com
