Cleaning Up

I've "finished the internet" (i.e., caught up on blog-reading) again, so I wanted to close a few open bookmarks before being AFK (Away From Keyboard) for awhile:

• Leigh Ann Wilson aka Flea takes a long and worthwhile-to-read look at Leni Riefenstahl's attitudes and work.

• Ann Bartow passes along a heads-up on a new documentary film about Dr. Emanuel Bronner. I have many fond memories of walking around in my younger days yelling out "Dilute, Dilute, OK!" And the soap's pretty good too.

• Turning to the books rather than the movies, Lance Mannion explains how so many people have misinterpreted the true emphasis and actual points of Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

• Hey, PZ Myers has a chatroom! I want one too! So when do y'all want to get together and chat with me? If it takes off I'll put a regular weekly time and link on the sidebar.

• The Carnival of Feminists is up to its silver (25th) edition over at Natalie's blog. Thanks so much for starting and continuing to organize this, Natalie!

Lastly, Donna has passed on a "meme" to me. It's of course not actually a meme, but a blog-game. I have to figure out Eight Things I Find Amazing, in Picture Form. This one may take me awhile, so I'll go away and think on it a bit. Happy reading, folks.
