Okay, the centipedes bother me, because I HATE centipedes. (shudder)
Also, I’m certain that people looking for actual pr0n were quite disappointed by the flower pr0n.
Now for the odder things:

Here’s an interesting study:
Finger length predicts physically aggressive personalities
I particularly liked the quote from the author of the paper.
Dr. Peter Hurd initially thought the idea was “a pile of hooey,” but he changed his mind when he saw the data.
However, the research only holds true for men.
Either I’m losing my mind, or I’m listening to an instrumental Ozzy Ozbourne cover on XM’s Beyond Jazz channel.
Maybe it’s just a sign that I should go take a long hot shower and try to relax some more.
The Grand Tour (2004) by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer
If you’ve already read Sorcery and Cecelia, then you’ll need little or no encouragement to pick up The Grand Tour. Cousins Kate and Cecelia are taking the grand tour of Europe on their honeymoons. Within almost no time, they are caught up in intrigue involving [...]
This is far more interesting than I had initially expected it to be: Movie Timeline. What is movies were true? What would the timeline of the past and future look like?
This is amusing. In a very, very strange way.
Also took me a minute to get, the first time I looked at it.
But it’s also strange. So don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Andy send me a link to Nemester.
You can’t sign up yet, but when you can, all things considered, I probably should. Just to keep track, you know.
Good Luck Gina!
It’s been a tough 5 1/2 years, but we’ve worked hard and managed somehow.
So in closing, one of my favorite exchanges:
We were explaining to a new graduate assistant how, because of the layout of the lab, we spent more time with each other than we did with our husbands.
Gina: We spend so much [...]

The third book in The Dresden Files series occurs several months after the events of the last book, and introduces us to another of Harry Dresden’s friends and companions, Michael, a Knight of the Cross. Michael is helping Harry put down an uprising of ghosts that are rising up and wreaking [...]
Dear Eliot Spitzer,
Fuck you.
Appalachia is not an insult. It’s my home.
I never did get around to posting pictures of my bookshelf. Mostly because that would involve a LOT of pictures, since I have a lot of books.
So for your amusement, here’s my computer desk at home. Just to give you a tiny peek into my life. The part off to the left where the [...]
Fool Moon (2001) Jim Butcher
Nope. I wasn’t at the bookstore right when it opened this morning, to get the second book in the Harry Dresden Files.
The store had been open for at least twenty minutes when I got there.
Plus, it was on the way to the grocery store.

Storm Front (2000) Jim Butcher
Amazon had been recommending Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files to me for about a year However, the cover just looked like something I was not going to be interested in reading. But it kept coming up in relation to authors that I really like (Charlaine Harris, Simon Green) so I decided to [...]
Me: I’ve often thought that if someone tied me up…
Gina: WHAT?!
Me: …that I’d be mute. Because I talk with my hands so much.
Gina: That’s not where I thought you were going with that.
Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth (2006) Simon R. Green
To be honest, I was less than pleased with the last Nightside book, Paths Not Taken. The story was good, but I had a hard time accepting that John Taylor was really as cold-blooded as he came off. Luckily, Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth returns to the [...]

I just decided that the song most UNlike my life right now?
Warren Zevon’s “Lawyers, Guns, and Money”
If only I could get the song out of my head, where it’s acting like it wants to be a soundtrack to things that aren’t happening to me.
A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) Ursula K. Le Guin
Strangely enough, as much fantasy as I read, I’d never gotten around to reading Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea Trilogy. I’ve had the books for a couple of years, but for one reason or another, never got around to reading them. It’s a short book, my copy [...]
And this? Made me laugh out loud.
