My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here
My body wasn't happy today about my second almost-all-nighter in a row. Bleah. Just one more, okay baby? I'll give you cocomint green tea and Dagoba chocolate.
Happy Robert Burns Day! Mmm neeps and tatties. This batch is a little too neepy, but good once-a-year comfort food.
Oh wert thou in the cauld blast,
On yonder lea, on yonder lea,
My plaidie to the angry airt,
I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee;
Or did misfortune's bitter storms
Around thee blaw, around thee blaw,
Thy bield should be my bosom,
To share it a', to share it a'.
Or were I in the wildest waste,
Sae black and bare, sae black and bare,
The desart were a paradise,
If thou wert there, if thou wert there.
Or were I monarch o' the globe,
Wi' thee to reign, wi' thee to reign,
The brightest jewel in my crown
Wad be my queen, wad be my queen.
~Robert Burns (1759-1796)
Songs coming up... later. I'm so retro. Dialup is the paisley bell-bottoms of internet access!
From thislife.org: Last week Showtime made it official: we're going to produce a series for them, a television version of This American Life. We shot a pilot last year, and the full series will begin broadcasting in the fall or winter of 2006. We'll continue making the radio show while we do the TV show. Again: the radio show will stay on the air.
What we can say about the series: It doesn't look a TV newsmagazine. It's shot to look like a movie. Widescreen. Beautiful lighting. And the stories feel just like the stories on the radio show. When we started the pilot, we weren't sure that'd be possible. Now we're convinced it is. We'll give more details - and hopefully some previews - in the coming months.
I hope they'll release it on DVD eventually, too, because I'd really like to see this.
