There's a Bat Workshop at my local birding store tomorrow that I might go to. I need to stock up on thistle and suet, anyway, and I want a Bat House. Then handing out candy tomorrow night, maybe seeing what's going on at the plaza beforehand (possibly a parade? I am uninformed).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
KeyBoard Dog?
What are people doing this weekend? Who (in addition to Nicole and the Reasons) has big Halloween plans?
In three hours, we're going to be invaded by a dozen 5 and 6 year olds. Everything is ready, though, so we're just chillin' until they get here.
the name Damien grew in popularity after the movie came out
See, this? Is just *asking* for trouble, by which I mean Freaky Death.

Umm. Korean Beef Delicacy. My bf was thus dubbed on LJ, semi-long it-was-funnier-at-the-time story. Technically he's only half-Korean. And no, he doesn't know about the nickname.
I need a bat house.
I think I coined the name!

I ended up developing a crush on a guy named (well, stage named) Damien in the 80s, and since then have totally wanted to name a putative kid that. I figured that people wouldn't remember for that long. I'm kinda chuffed and kinda dismayed that other people took a shine to the name too.
Your brain is a collection of microscopic fandoms
In their most recent work this year, the research team reported that a single human neuron could recognize a personality through pictures, text or the sound of a name -- no matter how that person was presented. In tests, one brain cell reacted only to Oprah Winfrey; another just to Luke Skywalker; a third singled out Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona.
Each neuron appeared to join together pieces of sensory information into a single mental impression. The researchers believe these cells are evidence that it only takes a simple circuit of neurons to encode an idea, perception or memory.
Huh.
I think I coined the name!
I think you did!

This tickles me. Any one of our cells would react to Buffy!
My cells tend to react to Faith.
