One Astronomer's Noise

I’m a terrible blogger. Although, that means I’m actually getting massive amounts of work done. (But getting sick, that wasn’t fun!) And dance has started up again… crazy schedule!

We just had the 3rd Charlottesville Skeptics Meetup tonight, and it was awesome! So many of us, we rocked Court Square. A little while ago, our lovely organizer Amanda alerted us to an episode of CVille Podcasting that featured UVa astronomy’s very own Ed Murphy and the top space stories of 2008. I have yet to listen to it, but knowing Prof. Murphy, I’m sure it’ll be great!

Tomorrow night, I’m hanging out with some cool kids and watching Repo! The Genetic Opera. It looks like the stuff that cult classics are made of. It just came out on DVD, and it’s the first I’ve heard of it. One description was “a cross between Rocky Horror and Bladerunner.” Sweet! Check out the preview for it. It stars Anthony Stewart Head. Giles as a bad(ish?) guy, mwah hahahaha… And the lovely Sarah Brightman! Her voice is simply unmatched. It looks like it’ll be awesome!

That’s about all my work-logged brain can handle. I have great plans of writing more about the URSI meeting, my own research, and maybe even that “part II” of the exoplanet stuff soon!
