Here is one thing I now believe:
Only a drunken wager could result in a novel with the lines "...you hoot like an owl when you reach climax" and "He's probably using her as a sordid sex-puppet."

West Virginia Things To Do #1: Arts Walk
I have been flirting with a blogging project for a couple of weeks, but it has been stymied by the fact that LJ has been blocked at the university, and I don't have a machine with a keyboard at home.

Inspired by an offhand comment at the meeting last week, I want to start a citizen science program to track the extent of the invasion of the Hairy Maggot, Chrysomya rufiffacies.

This week has gone really awesomely well. I have two job interviews lined up and was invited to give a presentation at a large meeting next month. All my books arrived in the mail. Several checks have arrived in the mail. And people I've missed for a long time turned up on Facebook ( Read more... )
