If you really want to wake up when you just get into work, stream stuff from meaningoflife.tv, where notable philosophers and thinkers are interviewed by a guy who looks distractingly like James Marsters. Luminaries such as Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker and Edwin Wilson [associated with Tufts, MIT and Harvard, respectively -- I live in a hotbed of philosophy!!] discuss consciousness, free will, faith, the existence of God and death. Do not try to listen to eps [each about an hour] successfully, or your brain will be overloaded. The interviews so far have brought me favorable memories of my college philosophy classes. I can feel my brain working....

So far, I recommend the interviews with Daniel Dennett and Sharon Salzberg. Edwin Wilson mumbles, goddammit. I wish Antonio Damasio had been interviewed, but he practices outside of the hotbed [Iowa].

Monday's ep of Love Has Fangs, 8.4 "Plastic Girl," was too murky in the original draft. My attempt to create a night filter by putting a blue layer over the scene did not work...instead the characters disappeared into shadows! Well, now the comic is bright -- I dispensed with the night -- and you can see Velvette in all her sexy sexy glory and Dom in all his mopey denseness. Go see!
