A Recommended Diversion

I'm buried in grant writing this week. It's not a particularly creative form of writing--just a lot of cutting, pasting and trimming to fit whatever limits a grantmaker has decreed. I find myself spending far too much time searching for that one perfect paragraph, one that I vaguely remember having written for another grant proposal ... if only I could remember when I wrote it , who it was for, and where it now resides on my computer.

So, in the interest of keeping Culture Shock lively with a new post without having to write anything new, I'm going to cheat by diverting readers to our colleagues at Art Scatter. Barry Johnson initiated a fun dialogue about movies, "My Brain's on Fire: Movies That Moved Me." He's invited readers to identify not their all-time top faves, but the films that influenced them in some way. If you visit and contribute an entry, perhaps Blog Karma (is there such a thing) will return the favor.
