Lesley's Grey Matters :

I woke up Thursday afternoon, fed the cats, made coffee, checked my email and then checked my Facebook page and friends updates. It is from those updates that I found out that Farah Fawcett had passed away. That was a bummer, but not unexpected at that point. She had been in the hospital and near death for weeks from what I had heard.
We had planned to drive up higher in the mountains and do some hiking with the dog, which we did. We came home and I went upstairs to change. When I came down Britton quickly turned the TV channel and tried to make me guess who else had died. I didn't guess Michael Jackson and he had to tell me.
When I checked Twitter, I found there was a rumor that Jeff Goldblum had died too. Even though I thought to myself that it was likely a hoax, the fact that it would make 3 seemed right and that it could possibly be true.

Lasha Seniuk's Field Notes :
6.25.9 : Angels With Fur
Most pets, I have come to believe, have stronger spirits than most people. Perhaps it is their unsullied capacity for love or their innocence that, in God's eyes, lifts them above humans. Perhaps it is their intimate bond with nature or their calming strength or their subtle methods of sensing emotion. Many of these things are, as they should be, a mystery. But one thing, at least in my house, is clear: animals can transcend dimensions.
Over the past few months I have seen my beloved and long-since deceased cat Gable wandering throughout my house. He has the same cougar-like swagger and continues, even after death, to rub up against my leg. And, while lingering in his furry afterlife, he remains the most gentle-souled brown tabby with soft, velvet paws and a white chest.

Tina Sena's Esotericana :
6.18.9: Parallel Worlds (And Why Some Things Aren't From Around Here)
Like every other geek in the world, I saw the Star Trek movie. I loved it. But I walked away with my little brain waxing somewhat hypothetically about Parallel Universes.
A few days later I saw the Fringe season finale. Again, parallel universes were at the fore. Never mind the fact that both productions are the creation of the J.J. abrams.
I thought about writing what I knew about parallel universes as the basis for my next Eso article.

BoA:Audio Classics :
6.8.2008 : Marie Jones on BoA:Audio
Longtime friend of the program, Marie Jones returned to BoA:Audio to discuss her book Supervolcano. We talked about the Toba eruption, wargamed a Caldera eruption in modern times, and went off-topic to cover women in esoterica and the ghosthunting fad.

6.3.2006 : James Guttman on BoA:Audio
One of the most strangely popular episodes of BoA:Audio ever, James Guttman joined the show to talk about the weird world of professional wrestling. A show which still inspires e-mailers to request another wrestling edition of the show.
