Lamb...it's what's for dinner.
I love lamb.
When preparing it, I always think of this scene as well as the scene where a lamb asks Lisa, "Lisa, what did I ever do to you?"
Oven roasted rack of lamb (medium) with a red wine reduction
Seriously, I love lamb, and look at that above. It is cooked with my minimal skill, and a minimum of seasoning (salt, garlic, pepper) and a little bit of olive oil. As Vincent Anotelli said, "sometimes, I impress myself."
Off-topic:
Oh, what do you think is in a hot dog?
(Only included because I found it while searching for one of the above clips.)

Occupy Occupy Wall Street
I think I love the guys at Occupy Occupy Wall Street.
Rachel did a segment on them last night.
It made me chuckle. I love the reveal at the end as well.

Don't Ruin Our Beer
Ommegang: Fracking may force us to leave » Local News » The Daily Star, Oneonta, NY:
"Brewery Ommegang is warning that it would have to consider relocating if the town of Middlefield's ban on gas drilling is struck down and horizontal gas drilling begins.
The ominous warning is contained in a new legal brief filed in support of Middlefield's recent zoning law.
"If its water were to be contaminated, the Brewery could be forced to move its business elsewhere," the court papers state. "Its Master Brewer and Quality Control chemist agree that even if Brewery Ommegang wished to do so, it could not remove many of the toxic chemicals commonly used in hydrofracking, should they be released into the Brewery's water supply."
"
Now, I have a strong opinion about fracking. Right, Dave?

Once More, With Feeling
Once More, With Feeling, for those who were not fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was the musical episode of BtVS. It aired a little more than ten years ago. It was, and continues to remain, awesome.
A list of the Top Ten Things from Once More With Feeling.
I hope that you enjoyed the clips, and I know what I am going to be listening to today.

Young Adult Dystopias
I am sure that you have already viewed the trailer for The Hunger Games (sorry, FAU, it is only going to get more publicity before it gets less) but I am including it anyway.
Now, I blogged about reading the books (Start here if you care) and I will not return to that method, but I want to talk about another YA trilogy that is also being turned into a movie:
The Forest of Hands and Teeth.
(See the article about the film, the business of making this into a film, and the star.) (Now, if you will notice, Carrie Ryan, author of TFoHaT, has written a critical essay about Suzanne Collins and the Hunger Games Trilogy. The irony is not lost upon me.)
Without going into either a review, or a ploy synopsis, TFoHaT is an interesting (and readable) series of books that is an answer to both the Twilight books as well as The Hunger Games trilogy but they are based in a world after the zombie apocalypse, called The Return in this mythology, and lends them a lot more "street cred".
Anyway, keep these books, and the films that may be staring "Bella", in your periphery, and what do you think of the trailer for The Hunger Games? (Read Vulture's Opinion)
(For the Record: I know a lot of people who have read these books. I am fascinated by the diverse people who have read them. Have you read them?)

Pictures from Union College
HJ77, TEA and I were on campus on Saturday.
The good news is that TEA loved it. The bad news is that the 'Skellar was closed.
TEA wants to go there. Now, that is scary on a number of levels.
