"'Emergency crews investigating “foam” at UT science building'

By Patrick George | Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 10:26 PM

UPDATE: Austin fire crews investigated a reported chemical spill at the University of Texas around 10:30 p.m. tonight.

A passerby found foam leaking out of a small chemical storage building near the chemistry lab at 304 East 24th Street, said Austin Fire Department Capt. Rob Bredahl.

Fire crews determined the foam was from a fire prevention system that was triggered accidentally. None of the chemicals inside were affected, and no one was injured, Bredahl said. No one was inside at the time.

Fire and EMS crews are headed to a University of Texas science building at 302 East 24th Street.

Callers have reported “foam” coming out of a building known to contain radioactive materials, said EMS spokesman Warren Hassinger.

Check back for more details."

"Elton John's Rocket Pictures hopes to make the first Jane Austen adaptation to which men will drag their girlfriends.
Will Clark is set to direct "Pride and Predator," which veers from the traditional period costume drama when an alien crash lands and begins to butcher the mannered protags, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about."

Disney said Monday that the studio has agreed to enter into an exclusive "long-term distribution arrangement" with DreamWorks.

"Under the terms of this arrangement, Disney will handle distribution and marketing for approximately six DreamWorks films each year," the studios said in a joint release. "The first DreamWorks motion picture to be released under the Touchstone Pictures banner is scheduled to hit theaters in 2010."

The deal follows Friday's surprise announcement that Universal and DreamWorks had been unable to finalize their previously announced distribution arrangement. DreamWorks brass bolted Paramount in October to re-establish DreamWorks as a privately operated company.

"After the game, I was crowded up against Pittsburgh wide receiver Santonio Holmes, trying to get my microphone close enough to capture the sound of his voice without the echo from the bowels of Raymond James Stadium. ("The Bowels of Raymond James" sounds like lesser Dickens.)

Holmes was exulting in his greatest day as a professional when his 4-year-old son, Nicori, turned to me and said, "I got a dog." The kid was bored by all this football talk and wanted to discuss dogs. "What kind of dog?" I asked. "It's a big dog," the kid said, adding, "My old dog was a tiger dog, but my new dog is a big dog. He's big but he doesn't bite." Four feet to his left, his father was discussing such trivialities as what it means to be the Super Bowl MVP. Yes, Dad gets a Cadillac. Yes, that fourth-quarter drive probably earned the Holmes family millions come contract time. But Nicori has a new dog"

"even when he looks like he's sucking, he's brilliant"

This article [best part quoted below] makes me so happy. And I can already picture the big proud smile on Thai's face, like this is his son or something. Oh, Christian Bale, ever since Newsies and Swing Kids, how much I have loved you!!

"I decided to write about him, because I wasn't what you'd call a fan. I didn't care about Christian Bale -- I figured he was just one of Britain's pretty boys who could sort of act -- the U.K.'s version of Brad Pitt, maybe.

About three DVDs into my bale of Bale, I began genuflecting deeply to my laptop, a changed harridan. I watched, over hours, the proverbial sword get pulled from the stone. Hear ye, and believe it or not: Christian Bale is the Arthur Rex of leading men -- the Once and Future King, born to rule the light-projected dimension of the silver screen in a natural, inalienable, yes, maybe even holy way; a real honest-to-God fucking star, with a frightening load of multiple talents, dazzling instincts, deadly beauty, cannonball cojones, a killer sense of comic timing, deeply empathic humanity and effortless authority that no actor in this country could get within 1,000 miles of, even in a Hummer.

It alarms me to say it, but I can't even think of an American actor in any era who, in his heyday, had as much mojo going on as many different cylinders, as Christian Bale ... Judy Garland? Nope, too screwed up; she didn't own herself. Marlon Brando? Nope, too flawed, too egomaniacal, too limited ... Frank Sinatra? Same ... Fred Astaire? Not sexy enough ... Buster Keaton? Not chameleon enough ... It's scary, but true. I think Bale is legitimately superhuman -- an advanced, evolutionary leap into Future Movie Stardom. He's the Michael Jordan of film actors -- the übermensch who takes the sport so much further than it was possible to conceive of its being taken, in one generation, that it changes the face of the game forever. And nobody really knows it yet.

Bale has done the more or less impossible: He was a child star who successfully became an adolescent star (while avoiding becoming a teen idol, incredibly) who successfully made the turn into being a serious adult actor. He is a virtual shape-shifter, shamanic and stealthy -- he comes and goes, he leaves a hook in your consciousness with some druidic act of goose-bump-raising screen voodoo, he vanishes; he reappears years later, wholly transformed, doing something completely different, but equally mind-boggling. I realized, re-watching the films I thought he sucked in, that even when he looks like he's sucking, he's brilliant -- once you've seen two or three other examples of his possibly limitless range, you realize that in roles where he isn't obviously hurting your eyes with his ultra-bright Apollo gleam, he is transmitting his role from the dark part of a distant planet, doing the kind of hard thespian thinking that is a real privilege to see, in a dunced-out medium like the movies.

Those of you who read my columns scanning for choice mud balls of character assassination had best bail out here (no pun intended): I don't bandy it around much, and I hate to hurl it at beautiful people, and I especially hate to use it on beautiful people who are currently rocketing to the top of the A-list, but I have to use the G-word -- Christian Bale is a friggin' genius."

Last night was one of those nights I never wanted to end. Sadly it had to when we all were falling asleep at 4:30am.
But I miss Josh already. And I forgot how hilarious Alex Yeh is, I like that kid.
And of course time with the good ol' crew of regulars is always good.

Summary: I love my friends. That's what I'm most thankful for.

I love protesting. I totally cried during one guys story. I can't even type it 'cause I'll start crying again and I'm in the Comm Lab but trust me it was sad!
And I was in the Daily Texan today!

"Many of the protesters were straight allies, attending the rally to support homosexual friends and family members. Radio-television-film and English senior Sarah Eshelman is a straight student who said she feels passionately about homosexual rights.

“I have a lot of gay friends,” Eshelman said. “I forget sometimes that gay people still can’t marry. It really bothers me. I really think it’s ridiculous.”"

It's strange to see myself identified in print as "straight." Guess I'm out and proud! Although it kind of bothers me because I said Thai was my boyfriend but maybe I'm bisexual! Or a liar! lolz.

I just saw Jane Train and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. :-)

thought:

Pro-lifers should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade because abortion being illegal would just be dangerous. Women who wanted abortions would only be forced to get them secretly and risk unsanitary operations by sleezy/uneducated doctors. (more like "doctors.") Have you seen Dirty Dancing?

What pro-lifers SHOULD do is simply continue a campaign flaunting all that they believe about abortion: it's murder, it's immoral, blah blah blah. This will keep abortion as something shameful and humiliating, like they want, but not put girls in danger. I mean, I definitely would NOT go around telling people that I had an abortion. Even though it is legal, it is still widely considered disgraceful and embarrassing.

And I would far prefer that they do the latter than the former.

end thought.
