Up in northern Louisiana again. It's a lonely place. It's a place that makes me drive 20 miles further north just to get somewhere I can get cell phone reception and maybe a little internet for a few hours. It wouldn't be so lonely if there was someone else at the bunkhouse. I wouldn't have to talk to them much, but just have them there so I don't ( Read more... )

 Wow. Just wow. This weekend blew my mind. With amazingness!

I got to spend a whole week in San Diego with my awesome lab-mates learning and doing bird stuff ( Read more... )

I love my life. Seriously. I don't think I could have more wonderful people in it.

It's a good thing because tonight I'm going with a bunch of friends to the 13th Gate, the acclaimed haunted house in Baton Rouge that wins awards every year for being awesome. I didn't want to go to a haunted ( Read more... )

A week ago I acquired yet another album by Underworld (not to be confused with the vampire movies), bringing my total collection of their work to five. Adding Isaac's collection, I think we hit six or seven.

This album, Second Toughest of the Infants, is definitely one of their best, though still hasn't usurped the top position dually-shared by ( Read more... )
