Wow, Jerry Goldsmith really did score a lot of bad movies, including The Haunting. Nevertheless, his music is always worth a listen. Here’s the final scary music selection of the month!

This is weird. I never knew this song existed until the other day when I heard it as part of the soundtrack to one of The Daughter’s video games. It’s a peppy, zippy pop song from the 1950s…singing the praises of uranium. I am not making this up.
“Uranium Fever”. As the kids say, I can’t even.

Something for Friday: Farewell, Cassini
The Cassini mission has ended with the space probe’s final plunge into the Saturnian atmosphere. We learned a great deal from Cassini — and we will continue to do so as more and more analysis of its data is done — and I find it somewhat of a bright moment in a world where science itself is being deeply undervalued at precisely the time when we need good science most.
Thank you, Cassini.

Think Pink!
Why this? Well, I noticed a couple of years ago that my wardrobe is heavily representative of dark colors. Not all black, mind you, although I did have my all-black phase in high school like everybody (and black is a fine color anyway). But I decided I wanted to start brightening things up, slowly but surely.
Which brings me to my goal for wardrobe improvement now:
Pink!
Now, I’m not going to flood my clothes with pink, but I’m adding a few items here and there, starting with this dress shirt I found on eBay. (I rather like the banded-collar look, too.)
Hooray for pink!
(The song, by the way, is from the Fred Astaire/Audrey Hepburn film Funny Face, which I believe is the first thing in which I ever saw Ms. Hepburn. I’ve loved her ever since.)

I had a number of friends in college (still friends, but this is about the time in college) who were big fans of the “new age” music group Mannheim Steamroller. I was never as big a fan of Mannheim as they were, but I did like quite a bit of the music from their Fresh Aire albums (less so the Christmas stuff), and a few of us actually heard them live in a concert in Minneapolis. This track was performed at that concert. Here is Mannheim Steamroller’s “Come Home to the Sea”, from Fresh Aire VI.
