this is scary as ess

oh, hey there

these new tiny frogs and lizards they keep finding are freaking me out. i imagine them travelling in packs like ants, crawling all over the place in extremely slow motion like chameleons do. i'll let you click to this picture of the frogs attacking. i don't want to make you scream at you're desk without warning.

people may i assume i like reptiles and amphibians because of my undegrad thesis project. that is incorrect. i found out that you need to keep them in cages because they will murder you.

You're Not Fooling Anyone

I get it that conservatives believe there is a "war" on Christmas or whatever, despite the fact that it dominates the attention of this country for nearly four months (Kmart had artificial Christmas trees for sale in early September).  But in this Fox and Friends story about the Governor of Rhode Island referring to the Christmas tree in their state house as a holiday tree, I was surprised that they provided viewers with the phone number for the Governor's office as well as encouragement to call and complain.  That's the sort of antics usually left to political action groups, not a supposedly unbiased news organization.  Weird.

But don't worry, some freshman state representative desperate for attention is going to hold a rival REAL CHRISTMAS TREE lighting somewhere else at the exact same time.  So yeah.  Sounds fun.
