...continually shifting gears. What begins as Max's struggle to maintain his self-identity while facing "sudden death academic probation" quickly changes into his dogged pursuit of a charming first grade teacher, Ms. Cross (Olivia Williams, free from the purgatory known as The Postman). Hoping to build an aquarium to impress her, Max enlists the help of Blume, a Rushmore benefactor whose vindictive speech against rich kids wins Max's friendship early on. Unfortunately, in a rather predictable twist, Blume also falls for Ms. Cross, which sparks a petty rivalry with Max and leads to the their inflicting immature pranks...
...only one person has left for another company, he says. "The company cares about what is important to me personally," says accounts supervisor Meghan Dougherty, 32, a six-year employee. Dougherty has donated more than 100 hours annually to help promote Big Brothers Big Sisters programs and a local aquarium. "It's nice to get out of the office in the middle of the day and know you're doing something worthwhile for a good, worthy cause," she says. "I come back to the office feeling refreshed and more thankful for what I have in my life. It's like...
...want you to meet a fish," Earle says to me. Without a submersible handy, we take the easy way and visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, directed by marine biologist Julie Packard.

At a mere signal...

The floor is all sea-green and turquoise speckles, but it's hard to say exactly what color any patch of the gelatinous mosaic is because each is so modified by contrasting touches within its small boundaries. The biggest shape in this aquarium light rises diagonally across the picture: a bath, like an immense open oyster, in which floats the body of a woman, all legs, shining indistinctly in the water. She seems in a trance--her face can't be read as a face but more as a spongy clump of jeweled...
While "choirgirl hotel" ends with a disappointingly mediocre song called "Pandora's Aquarium"--a feat echoing Pink's conclusion with the epic but lifeless "Yes Anastasia"--the final stages of this album remain fascinating. "Hotel" (the song, not the album itself) changes quite suddenly into a hypnotic pseudo-techno piece, shifting the mood of the song from painfully emotional to pure recklessness. Although "Playboy Mommy" may resemble a lazy folk songs more than a pop number, it fits nicely as the next-to-last song on the album, winding down contentedly from Amos'veritable smorgasbord of musical moods...
