when it rains, it pours slugs*
If pressed, I could certainly think of far worse blog-schticks to become mildly famous for than for all my slug-talk recently. and thus, here’s summore:
hug-a-slug!

Surrealist Slugs
my wonderously wonderous newfie friend miss lisa has shared with me the following finalist for the National Film Theatre/Hayward Gallery’s 60-Second Surreal competition, “the room”: starring, obviously, a slug or, the shadow of a slug. (to watch, click here and select “the room”)
*at least it does in kafka on the shore. well, leeches. ok so leeches and slugs aren’t the same. blablabla who died and made you Captain Science?**
**it has been a long, long week.
Yes, I’d like to know where the application to become Captain Science is located? I’d really like a shot at it.

Mace TOTALLY gets my endorsement as Captain Science, although I do reserve final judgement until I see how her Regis analogy plays out.
Name: Mace Elaine Science
Occupation: Fancy Organic Chemist
Weight in Moles: Assuming that I am made of pure gold (I AM, DAMNIT), I am 976 moles.

mace, hands down, you are officially, CAPTAIN SCIENCE. thank you.
So what exactly does being Captain Science mean, anyway? Do I get a costume? A flag? A seal? A banana manatee?
