Birding Excitement

And now I will introduce you to an experimental side project, wherein I blogged up my sister's latest dispatch from tomato. I mean Tobago. By "blogged up" I specifically mean that I took her writing unaltered and posted it with googled photos, just to try to visualize the potential. I'm not sure where, if anywhere, this project will go. But I think it has legs. Especially if Mossy gets herself a digicam. What do you think?

Adventures in Ornithology

It has the ring of truth, no?

Somehow I should turn this cartoon into my blogger profile pic.

Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. More to come.

Mmmm, transcendentally...

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely."

Boy.

Man.

God.

Shit.

Okay, anyway... Here is a list of things, most of which you already know:

• Girls mess up my head. But I really like them anyway.
• I like plants.
• The two strongest forces that influence my life: Inertia and Anxiety.
• I am an unapologetic geek.
• Other people go to church. I go walking in the woods.
• I am not good with conflict or confrontation.
• If I am blogging, emailing, or IMing, I should probably be working instead.
• Bacon is my favorite spice.
• I have been suffering from a severe case of iPod envy lately.
• I wish my life had a soundtrack. I'm pretty sure I could find a good song for just about every moment.
• I can be remarkably perceptive about some things, and painfully obtuse about others. It's really not intentional.
• I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm a lesbian.
• My misanthropy is based in my arrogant (though probably correct) belief that I am smarter than most people.
• When it comes to Talking (note capital "T") about things, I am just about all or nothing. I can keep my mouth, or I can get into all the stoopid details, but I have a very hard time with anything in between.
• I have no idea why I started writing this list. I had just intended to write a little note that said "sorry there haven't been more notes".
• If there was cholesterol in beer or coffee, I probably wouldn't live past 40.

Lastly, the following is the funniest thing I've seen all week (thanks moxie).

*actually, I don't think Bush has done anything impeachable. I just think he's an arrogant fucktard who thinks he smarter than most people. hey, wait a minute...

More to come.

Are You All Happy Now?

Today I am shampooed the carpet*.

*I stand by my typo. Besides, if I admit to making a mistake, the terrorists have already won.

I've been waiting five years for today.

Bill Frist got bitch-slapped by Harry Reid today. And Bill Frist cried like a little girl.

I was beginning to think the democrats didn't have it in them.

Rove indicted friday, and the republicans were already trying to move the media on to: The democrats and their damn liberal anti-italian-american bigotry. And the blah blah blah bird flu...

And my pal Harry Reid smacked it down. A Fighting Dem! I was beginning to think they didn' exist any more. I actually called his office tonight and left him a message thanking him and telling him to keep up the hard work. I've never done that before. For a great synopsis of all the reasons Harry Reid kicks ass, check this piece on kos.
