I’ve stayed up until six on Christmas morning crocheting hats and watching Doctor Who. What I’ve learned: deciding to crochet three hats for Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve afternoon (does that make grammatical sense or should I say “the afternoon before Christmas”?) is deciding TOO LATE. I finished two and still haven’t wrapped any presents or, you know, slept or...

Inside the Mind of the Octopus →
Only recently have scientists accorded chimpanzees, so closely related to humans we can share blood transfusions, the dignity of having a mind. But now, increasingly, researchers who study octopuses are convinced that these boneless, alien animals—creatures whose ancestors diverged from the lineage that would lead to ours roughly 500 to 700 million years ago—have developed intelligence,...

Bonked at tkd for the first time tonight. Cycling vs. martial arts bonks! Cycling bonk suckage: you still have to ride home, even if you feel like you’re dying, even if you’re out of water. Sparring bonk suckage: someone is trying to kick you while you feel like you’re dying, and you probably have a Korean dude yelling at you to quit being lame. Lesson learned: EAT FOOD. You will...

La fuite de la lune: You Should Date An Illiterate... →
smokefairies: You Should Date An Illiterate Girl by Charles Warnke Do those things, god damnit, because nothing sucks worse than a girl who reads. Do it, I say, because a life in purgatory is better than a life in hell. Do it, because a girl who reads possesses a vocabulary that can describe that amorphous… Reblogged, but there’s no link to the whole piece, so here’s that:...

“Now that you’re back there, do you kind of wish you were going back to school this year?” NO. Now that I’m here, I remember how much I hated being here and how wrong grad school was for me. I am so, so glad I did the brave thing and quit when I did— and kind of wish I’d done it a semester sooner. I do wish I’d either put sunscreen on my legs or rotated...

Reblog reblog reblog wait what? I can post stuff besides reblogs? Hm. I guess my urge to blog largely died. I like to reblog the things I find that I like, in the event that anyone actually follows me, but don’t have much inclination to generate my own content. Well, whatever. I’m driving back to Wyoming to return my boyfriend to grad school one week from today, and driving back a...

The Youth Unemployment Bomb →
In Tunisia, the young people who helped bring down a dictator are called hittistes—French-Arabic slang for those who lean against the wall. Their counterparts in Egypt, who on Feb. 1 forced President Hosni Mubarak to say he won’t seek reelection, are the shabab atileen, unemployed youths. The hittistes and shabab have brothers and sisters across the globe. In Britain, they are NEETs—”not in...
