dinsdag 9 oktober 2012 Up with alarm. Hash browns and fried egg for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. She reads pieces of an endorsement for Barrack Obama from the St. Louis Post Dispatch - Obama for president: A Second Term For A Serious Man.

Finish Star Trek DS9 - Captive Pursuit. Turn on KUOW to hear Weekday - David Quammen On New Frontiers Of Disease. The emergence of strange new diseases is a frightening problem that seems to be getting worse. In this age of speedy travel, it threatens a worldwide pandemic. We hear news reports of Ebola, SARS, AIDS, and something called Hendra killing horses and people in Australia—but those reports miss the big truth that such phenomena are part of a single pattern. The bugs that transmit these diseases share one thing: they originate in wild animals and pass to humans by a process called spillover. Spillover sounds scary. I'm outside a lot this morning doing some breaks for the toddler teachers. I set up lunches for the Sea Otters. Naps are a little wacky. Usually, it's quiet when I walk into the Seahorses. Today, only 2 are asleep. They're rowdy. It takes work to get them to sleep, but they do. Back to Sea Otters. Among the nappers, one pops up. "Mike is here. Time to play." I take her out to the playground. We play with Elena's group. The streetcar runs every 10 minutes now. Convenient for me. Drop off stuff at my place. Up to QFC to pick up a few things. Settle down with a movie - Werewolf: The Beast Among Us.

A monstrous creature terrorizes a 19th Century European village by moonlight and a young man struggles to protect his loved ones from an unspeakable scourge.

The kid is played by Guy Wilson. How could a nice kid like this end up as a werewolf? Just look in the mirror, kid!

The town gets hysterical. "It's the kid!" The villagers are rather mean to him... when they discover that he's the savage killer.
