Rubin's Rubric: Dark Matters - poem in honor of scientist Vera Rubin

"Science is competitive, aggressive, demanding.
It is also imaginative, inspiring, uplifting." - Vera Rubin

I felt compelled to write this poem after hearing about the death of Vera Rubin.

A legendary astronomer, she discovered dark matter. Nominated but never awarded a Nobel prize, she received numerous other awards for her life's work.

From her we learn, "Dark matters".

Just a lost father waiting 

To be found again.

Truman lives up to his nameCapote: a story of the man in the mirror

I watched Capote again--Hulu was promoting it as a feature film tonight. A riveting film, the movie is about the making of Truman Capote's renowned book, "In Cold Blood".

I read the book a long time ago; I was just out of college. It was riveting, chilling and un-put-downable. Called a non-fiction novel for the creative licenses that some thought Truman took, it could be argued this this bio-pic took the same license with Truman's life.

Black Friday Film Festival: All about Eve, Soapdish and Bridget Jones

Black Friday, for me, is a movie marathon day. I had no intention of putting myself into the throes of insanity swimming around the stores.

A day on the couch, I watched a range of movies, including  "All About Eve" (1951), "Soapdish" (1991) and "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" (2004).

A Creative Dollar Tree DIY to celebrate Day of the Dead

Looking for a creative and inexpensive way to decorate for Halloween and Day of the Dead?

Visit Dollar Tree and scoop up a couple of skeleton heads--each one only $1!

Then take a bundle of magic markers and go at it.

I decided to take a bit of liberty with the tradition and dedicated two of my heads to Frida Kahlo and Elvis Presley.

Which one do you like best?

Happy Halloween!!! 👹👺👿🍁🎃 #MrsMeyersHunt #submission
