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.

(And that there are over 200 moles on my body) (Um, the melanoma-fearing kind)
I: Science :: Regis Philbin: Table Tennis with Owen Wilson.
Hmmmm. My extra special link at the end didn’t work.

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?
