Friday Five

1.  Although, I'm still feeling slightly guilty, and I'm bummed that the job isn't in London, I'm so happy that there's a light at the end of the dreary tunnel.  Work has been non-existent and when there is some, it's mind-numbingly dull.  So actually getting a chance to work somewhere that wants to use my brain, will be a great change of pace.

2. This recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake Shooters.  These are so on the agenda for when I'm holed up this weekend, hiding from Frankenstorm.

3.  I fell upon an article on Arthur Eddington this week which has really piqued my curiosity about this fascinating man.  Like most of you, I'm sure, I'd never heard of him.  But I'm sure you've all heard of the man whose groundbreaking theory he helped to prove: Albert Einstein.  I don't begin to understand the physics of what Eddington and Einstein proved correct, but how they went about it is more interesting to me.  They, one German and one Brit, simply sent letters through the post answering each other's questions, during a time when their home countries had declared war on each other.  When you read the story, it seems very, very wrong, that when we were learning about Einstein's theory of relativity, Eddington's name was never brought up.

4. I have a HUGE problem with people that are outrageous just to be outrageous.  The only way these people can garner attention is by saying something so off-color, that the press is forced to listen.  In my personal opinion Ann Coulter is one of those people and she needs to stop getting this attention.  This article just goes to prove my point. How does a woman get to where she is without realizing that word is completely offensive on every level?  And because of his eloquent and well-thought out response to her ineloquent and ridiculous rant, John Franklin Stephens is my new hero.

5.  This is from a few weeks ago, but I completely forgot to write about it then.  How stinking cute is this idea?  I need someone to have a child STAT so I can make them one as a shower gift.
