Last night at the Bell House, Scott and I, plus a couple of friends, went to this special live recording of StarTalk Live as part of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. It’s astrophysicist Neil deGrasse-Tyson’s podcast in which he talks to non-scientists about science. He’s absolutely fantastic—entertaining, enthusiastic, hilarious. I felt like I was getting everything he was saying and learning despite being, you know, a language person who coasted through all her science classes. With Eugene Mirman, Kristen Schaal, Scott Adsit, and Alan Alda all being funny with a hint of seriousness, it was a great freaking time. Also, Alan Alda and I, at the same time, answered the question of “What power?” with “The power of voodoo.” So Labyrinth reference reflexes are something we have in common, in addition to shared Fordham alumni-ness.
