The part that made me ashamed for my species was listening to the news anchors try to pronounce "macaque". Seriously painful. Where do they find these people?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Broken record time here.
I just applied for another internal job. And I have a phone meeting tomorrow, with a different dude about a potential job.
Terrified much?

Note that the college students presumably used in the research, who proved to be just smarter than monkeys at math, are presumably college students at my Looniversity - a we'd-be-in-the-ivy-league-if-we-weren't-so-dang-far-away kinda school.
In bodily remains news, my grandmother was cremated and officially buried at sea by the US Navy (they do this for free, although you can't go along for the ride or anything, but this presumably avoids the 'wind blowback' problem some have mentioned.) My grandfather was cremated and scattered in the bushes in the back yard. My mother's cat (also cremated) is there with him.

Oooh -- I'm all geekily excited, b/c I just found out that Cincinnati is going to have an organic produce delivery service (like NYC's Fresh Direct) starting in January.

I think one of these days I'm going to track down every one of Fay's posts from her world travels and save them in a special file that I can burn to CD so I can have my own personal Fay-book.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a good idea, connie.
Yay produce delivery! I'm tempted to do that, but since it would come from a farm less than 5 miles away I would feel really lazy getting delivery.
Good luck, Suzi!
The Monkey Math story just came back around on NPR - it's a pretty specific type of problem that the monkeys do well on, and the Duke students weren't given enough time to count. I recall a million years ago on Real People or one of those shows a story about some group supposedly teaching babies to do calculus using similar pictures-of-dots techniques.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This is so funny because I had a dream that P-C was my college roommate, which is extra funny because I told someone in my dream, "Well, that's not his real name and I've never met him" both of which are true, but don't relaly make sense for a roommate.
Ha! Was this the same night as meara's dream? I was busy that night.

Trust my rage
Was this the same night as meara's dream?
I think my dream was not last night but the night before. I remember thinking I should post about it but I totally forgot until I read meara's post.

good luck SuziQ!
P-C, you should probably take the day off and rest. Who knows where you'll be deployed tonight...

Just popped on to say that I slept for ten hours and feel better than I have in weeks. I don't know if I'll get everything done that I need to, but I don't regret listening to my body (and aurelia, of course).
Suzi, good luck!
askye, yay, B!
Fay, although my travels are nowhere near as extreme, I know exactly what you mean. When I go home to CT in the summer, it looks impossible green and lush compared to SoCal.
