Jessica, the apartment looks so pretty!!!

I love painting, and hate white walls. Those who have been to my house have probably figured that out. I think that after we finish the nursery (which won't be until close to the end of the year--and we're not repainting it, just reflooring), we're going to repaint our bedroom. It's a deep plum now, but we're thinking a green of some sort would be nice.

I'm creeped by all the "heh, heh, buy a good present and get sex" ads.

"Diamonds- she'll pretty much have to."

Or, alternately, "Diamonds- Now she CAN'T cheat."

Oy - blech. So, should I even bother with the half time show?

"Diamonds- she'll pretty much have to."

Heh. Heh heh heh. I love Family Guy.

I'm creeped by all the "heh, heh, buy a good present and get sex" ads.

Ah, valentine's day.

I saw a particularly annoying ad for Vermont Teddy Bear co narrated by Adam Corrola. The whole "present=sex" thing was more text than subtext.

ION, I would like it if people did not comment upon my lunch. Shut up and eat your own damn lunch.

billytea! Big article on avian intelligence. Conclusion? Crows may be smarter than chimps.

Ewwwwwww! You're eating THAT??? Nasssssst-eeeeee!

Ever since Darwin, traditional brain researchers have assumed that brain evolution proceeded in step-wise fashion -- "progressive and unilinear," as Jarvis puts it -- from fish, to amphibians, to reptiles, to birds, to primates like monkeys and chimpanzees, and finally to humans.

Has that really been solidly in force until now? Is the memory I have of investigating whale intelligence either Omni-level science, or wishful thinking?

The nasty word "birdbrain," in the group's thinking, is an arrogant, human-coined insult to an avian race

Human-coined? Who'da thunk it?

it was all the same to them when they looked at an upside-down copy of Picasso's work

That's a very human-like intelligence right there. Could even Picasso tell?
