I was just watching Comedy Central's new show The Colbert Report (I love Stephen Colbert--he is on my list of celebrity mini-crushes) and his interview subject was Fareed Zakaria, who had the best comeback of the show. I now also love Fareed Zakaria.

I write. I create. I put some of that here. Read at your own risk. If there were an ampersand code for a little skull-and-crossbones, I'd totally be using it right now.
The term "aqua fortis" was the alchemical nomenclature for nitric acid, a necessary component in etching onto zinc plates for intaglio printmaking. I now use copper plates and ferric chloride almost exclusively, as they are much less toxic, but I still like the sound of "aqua fortis."

Did you see the gravitas face-off with Stone Phillips on the first episode? I wept with the laughter. And the second episode where he responded to viewers' comments that his right ear sticks out further than his left ear? I was a bit concerned about the idea of the show -- but I have to say the execution has been priceless. Long live Colbert!
Yes! Yes, I did. I loved that. Stone Phillips had a good sense of humor. In contrast, last week there was some author on there who had written a book about relationship breakups or something, and he apparently had no idea he was on a comedy news show. Stephen Colbert kept saying these outrageously silly things, and the poor guy had no idea what to do about it. HA!!
