Stonehenge dig turns up new clues
Archaeologists conducting the first dig at Stonehenge in decades say they have broken through to areas that could reveal the ancient English monument’s original purpose.
Pretty cool, huh?
I quite enjoyed last night’s The Sarah Jane Adventures. Tonight, it’s the other Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood, which is actually my favorite of the three shows.
Got in a bit more writing last night. Fixed some minor problems as I went along and made notes on bigger problems that need work.
Reading: Electric Blue by Nancy Bush. I’m really liking this series. I’ll be glad when the next book in the series comes out in paperback.
MUMMIFIED DINOSAUR UNEARTHED IN NORTH DAKOTA
Using tiny brushes and chisels, workers picking at a big greenish-black rock in the basement of North Dakota’s state museum are meticulously uncovering something amazing: a nearly complete dinosaur, skin and all.
And I see the world has lost a famous science fiction writer. Arthur C. Clarke died early this morning at the age of 90. He’s best known for the book 2001: A Space Odyssey. “I’m sorry, Hal. I can’t do that.”
My Dancing with the Stars report for last night is incomplete thanks to our weather guy who just had to break in and tell us what might happen in one county east of us. And he spent 20 minutes telling us pretty much nothing. They’re very good about beating a dead horse. For hours. I completely missed Monica Seles’ and Marissa Jaret Winokur’s dances.
Well, okay, it’s not really freaky but it was all I could come up with off the top of my head.
In archaeology news:
Ancient temple unearthed near Inca capital
The ruins of an ancient temple have been discovered by archaeologists at a famed fortress overlooking the Inca capital of Cuzco, officials said.
I have this sudden image of The Emperor’s New Groove.
Last night’s Lost was excellent. But I strongly disliked it. Does that sound contradictory? Maybe it is. I was apparently an emotional mess last night because they had me sobbing at the end. Heck, I even cried during one part of Survivor which was something I’d never done before.
There’s nothing on tonight but repeats, so I’ll watch something recorded. Just need to decide what I’m in the mood for.
Keyed in the last two handwritten pages yesterday which added three new pages to the manuscript. And now I’ve printed the whole thing out and will start reading through it tonight. Keep your fingers crossed that it makes sense. *g*
