via http://www.kingtut.org/ and http://moafl.com/kingtut/kingtut.htm

Marking the first time the treasures of Tutankhamun (King Tut) have visited America in 26 years, an extensive exhibition of more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of the celebrated Pharaoh and other Valley of the Kings ancestors visits the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale beginning December 15, 2005. Fort Lauderdale is the only Southeast location to host the treasures.

Featured treasures in the exhibition, which are all between 3,300 and 3,500 years old, include Tutankhamun’s royal diadem (http://www.kingtut.org/gallery/Gold_12.htm )- the gold crown discovered encircling the head of the king’s mummified body that he likely wore while living – and one of the gold and precious stone inlaid coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs. Opening for a very limited time December 15th at the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale.

Finally, something a little more significant to me than Princess Diana memorobilia.

That’ll be something I’d be willing to toss out a few bucks to see. Funny what a few thousand years will do to my enthusiasm. Nostalgic, too… I saw when it was touring Boston in ’78, but I was just a cub at the time. I understand more nifty stuff has been added. That’s what got me into egyptologhy in the first place. Any walking undead or ancient curses will jsut be a bonus.

7325 – The work week begins anew.

I saw the short commercial, but didn’t get to see the bit of testimonial footage I did for the longer bit.


The most recent Dr. Who 2-parter was an odd combination of actual drama, slapstick/fart jokes, Men in Black, and an issue of 2000AD. I’m glad that there were repercussions of Rose just launching off like she did. Rather a neat spin on UNIT, too.

I can’t help but wonder if I’d like it as much if I’d never seen the old Dr. Who series as a kid. Probably… they’re pretty entertaining fare.

Next Week… Daleks!

I need to burn episodes 2-5 to a cd, and toss ’em to Graypumpkin.


Freaky Club guy – shaved his face, but not anywhere below the jawline. His behavior was in an odd place, too. He put Mari and Mzk sort of at odds for a bit. I think Mari was suffering from some cramps, to.. I noticed that she was clutching her lower abdomen every so often.


Weather yesterday was magnificent. perfect humidity level, temperature, and amount of sunshine. I would like 100 days like that a year, please.


I have to remember to call up the HR and find out if that thing two weeks ago was fruitful or not. I suspect not, because they didn’t call me.


Newt was amazingly affectionate last night and this morning, doing that trill-purr he does when he’s in happy-happy mode. Sleep was wonderful for the first time in a few weeks.


Got to talk to Tomi voice, albeit briefly. He sounds good, and is still in seeming good spirits. I think it’s been at least 15 years, if not more since we last communicated. A lot of time there… nearly half a lifetime.

Dave Attell was at the Poorhouse Saturday night (as a civilian, not a performer)… looking forward to Wednesday with Mzk and the gang.
