I won’t say that my grandmother has become a cat person.
However, any time she walks past the bookcase, Kit is right there, meowing her head off, because about 50% of the time my grandmother will stop and give her a handful of treats.
It is truly amazing that Kit doesn’t weight 20 pounds, because she [...]

There’s a website for the Golden Compass movie that’s due out this winter.
If you play around on the website, you can find your own daemon.
Mine is an ocelot named Erasmus.
I’m generally not a fan of movies made from books. I’ll have to check out the trailer closely on this one.

Me: Dear, can you do me a huge favor, and help me put the hair stuff in my (freshly washed) hair? I can’t do a good job with only one hand.
Michael: Okay. I suppose.
Me: First this (Curl enhancer/defrizzer). Rub it in your finger tips and then through my hair.
Michael: Okay.
Me: Now this (anti-frizz serum). [...]
That made me very happy today.
Three words:
Giant tropical penguins
Unfortunately, they’re just fossils, but still, how cool is a five foot tall penguin?
Kudos for Elizabeth Edwards!
“I don’t know why someone else’s marriage has anything to do with me,” Elizabeth Edwards said at a news conference before the parade. “I’m completely comfortable with gay marriage.”
…I wouldn’t have any luck at all.
It started out innocently enough. I was doing the prep work for dinner. I try to do it early, so I’m not rushed, because I tend to hurt myself when I’m rushed (ironic foreshadowing).
I was making pizza, so I decided that onion rings would look nice, so I was [...]
Speaking of screwed up…

One of the side effects I have with anti depressants is extremely vivid dreams.
I have weird dreams anyway, but antidepressants exacerbate them.
Excerpt from last night:
Someone decided to breed miniature poodles and white rats.
They were actually kinda cute.
Happy Summer Solstice!
You know what this means don’t you?
Only a week and a half until my birthday! Yay!
Happy 144th Birthday West Virginia!
Scientists have identified genetic variations that affect specific neurotransmitter functions, which could explain why some patients respond to some drugs but not to others. For example, some depressed patients who have abnormally low levels of serotonin respond to S.S.R.I.’s, which relieve depression, in part, by flooding the brain with serotonin. Other depressed patients may have [...]
Why are there so many (mostly dead) moths in the Health Sciences Center?
Seriously, just walking through the atrium I saw five. They’re all over the first and second floors (maybe higher, but I rarely go above the second floor.)
They weren’t here three weeks ago, then suddenly they’re all over the place. There was even a [...]
Happy World Sauntering Day!

Work is set to begin Monday on the Willowdale sidewalk project, spearheaded by WVU’s Student Government Association (SGA). The project is expected to be completed by mid-August in time for the start of the fall [...]
In the lab, the last group of computers face the wall, which means that you can’t see what’s on the monitors. As far as we’re concerned, anyone who sits at those computers is porn surfing, but there’s nothing we can do about it, since we can’t catch ‘em at it.
Which brings me to today.
As I [...]
Michael: You win! You got all the mail!
Michelle: Really? What’d I get? Anything fun?
Michael: Lowe’s bill…Credit card bill… well, those are in my name, but you pay ‘em, so they’re yours.
Michelle: Gee, thanks.
Michael: John Edwards… XM… USAA… Gardener’s catalog…
Michelle: Oooooooh! Gardener’s Catalog! I could spend some money there.
