Weekend Homework

1. The Welfare Nanny Diaries by Rinku Sen and Gabriel Thompson.

2. Everyone's all excited about "neuroeconomics" these days. I am always skeptical about such things, but can't help but find it interesting, so Why say no to free money? caught my eye.

3. I haven't seen the first episode of this season of Battlestar Gallactica yet, but am viewing it (Tivoed) at a friend's this evening. It's hard not to think about it and, therefore, want to read about it, but I'm trying to be a better spoiler-avoider. I was happy to see this spoiler-free Geeking out to Gallactica to quench my thirst for the moment.

Once you've seen the BSG premiere, do you plan to blog about it? Just want to know when it will be safe to talk with you about it without fear of spoiling you.

I've been catching up on BSG on dvd (thanks, Netflix) and loving it so far.

dustdaughter said...: Hi EL,

I moved my comment over to my blog. I was worried that the response was too long and spoilery.

Here it is.; 7:40 AM
EL said...: I will follow you over there, Didi!; 1:17 PM
