I am just amazed at the cost of some of this.
Hell, I dye my hair, get my eyebrows waxed.
But, the obsession to not be old/anti-aging is absurd and that is what is strange to me.
I don’t do any of that (I’m cheap and lazy). Somehow, I manage to not look old, but I think that’s my ”not spending a ton of time outdoors getting lots of UV exposure*”...
I am beginning to wonder what is wrong with me.

I don’t do anything for my skin.
I don’t even wear make up.
If there is something wrong with you, then there is something wrong with me. Though I do use mascara three times a year.
I put on mascara, but I can wash my face and do that in a pretty short period of time (meaning you can do things to your face without spending eons of time - it comes across like...
I'm going to Counseling Services on Wednesday.

So, uh, yeah. I don’t know, maybe posting that on Tumblr will keep me from psyching myself out again.
I had been in grad school for almost 6 years when I finally went and I wish I had gone sooner. I was in a grad student support group. Whatever you find most comfortable, don’t be ashamed of doing it. It’s so helpful to have a person/people to talk to who empathize with...
How harmful is it swallow a small amount of nail polish remover.
– A tech support email sent to Tumblr today. I’m thinking about adding this question to our FAQ. (via marc)
Most nail polish removers contain acetone so, via the Risk Assessment Information System:
Acetone acts primarily as a depressant of the central nervous system. Signs of toxicity following...

Cat House
Looks about right.
Believe it or not, I didn’t see any cats in this picture until I read the caption “Cat House”. Then I saw the ones by the table. What is wrong with me?!
That’s interesting. What did you see first?

They should convene a panel for the next Meet the Press with Jenna Bush Hager, Luke Russert, Liz Cheney, Megan McCain and Jonah Goldberg, and they should have Chris Wallace moderate it. They can all bash affirmative action and talk about how vitally important it is that the U.S. remain a Great Meritocracy because it’s really unfair for anything other than merit to determine position and...

The Queen of Trees →
That was amazing as well as gross at times. It’s incredible to see, up close, the ecosystem around a single tree, the sycamore fig tree, in Africa and how many insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals it takes care of.
Thanks for putting up with my impromptu live-blogging of this episode.

Ripe figs that have dropped from the tree will ferment in the hot sun. Shy butterflies will drink the alcohol and essentially get drunk. Fortunately, drunk butterflies do not taste good to those that eat them.

Now some birds are wanting to eat the ripe figs, but a snake has shown up. The birds are telling the snake to essentially GTFO!

Fuck, now they’re showing a bunch of huge bees/wasps devouring a young bird.
UGH. (*cry*)
I had to turn away.

So as the male wasps leave the fig, ants eat them. Then a gecko showed up (not OUR gecko) and ate more wasps. Then a snake went for the gecko, but only got its tail.
The boots I ordered on Etsy got lost in the mail. ...

And I won’t be getting a refund. So. I know it’s not a big huge deal and it you’ll all probably roll your eyes at me, but it was a lot of money to me and enough to get the tears and snot flowing A-GAIN. It is seriously one goddamned thing after another. Nothing good. I need something good to happen. Did I kill children and puppies in a former life?

Now I am watching fig wasp sex.
The newly hatched male may have tiny antennae and no real wings, but he is well endowed. The males chew through their case, open up the females case and impregnate her.

Now the ants are herding baby bugs (not baby ants though) to go eat (which are actually very cute).

Now they’re showing ants. Eek.

There are lots of insects in this Nature episode (about the Sycamore Fig Tree). I’m doing okay so far, because they’re very colorful insects. It’s been distracting enough, so far.

I may have to give this one a go.
So its over....

We finished the walk. We’re all a little worse for the wear after three days of being on our feet but I think we all walked away better people. I have so much to say about the walk still but for now guys? I’m tired and I really want hamburger and some fries. So let me just say this: I am so glad I did this. For myself, for all those effected by breast cancer (or any cancer), for...

I do apologize. Whenever I see a certain type of people make a certain type of comment (people from NY are no different that people from Amsterdam in this respect), I get thoroughly pissed off. Sometimes I’d like to take everyone with this type of superiority complex and shove them in the...

I'm a little freaked out as I update my resume.
bumblevision:
I have a hunch that resume formats have evolved in the past 2 years, given how much the internet, itself has changed in the same time period. I feel like a dinosaur, working in MS Word. When I was younger, I always had a web site with my deets on it. It had a really cool design — colorful and oddball without using a single image for easy printing. I also maintained an ASCII version...

(an excerpt):
Every year as Yom Kippur approaches, I find some way to preach about forgiveness… This year, I want to talk about forgiving god—whichever of the gods might be yours, if you have one at all. Or forgiving the universe. Making peace with whatever it is that allows bad...

I felll asleep last night, with the light on, the tv on and the computer on. Junk scattered everywhere, because I wasn’t actually in bed for the night.
I woke up at 6am dazed and confused.
