Bisexual Species: Unorthodox Sex in the Animal Kingdom: Scientific American
This could have gone in my last post, considering Porter’s life ;-) Thanks to Scott Bragg for the link. Bisexual Species: Unorthodox Sex in the Animal Kingdom: Scientific American … as many as 1,500 species of wild and captive animals that have been observed engaging in homosexual activity. Researchers have seen such same-sex goings-on in both […]
De-Lovely
Sam and I just finished watching it–the 2004 Cole Porter biopic/musical. It was, absolutely, De-Lovely and Delightful and every other positive adjective you can think of!

Review: Sunshine by Robin McKinley
Wow. That was a good book. It was a little hard for me to get into at the beginning. This excerpt is from the first chapter, and if you don’t feel as–jangled?–as I did, perhaps it’s just me. But I kept at it, because there was so definitely something there.

Explosions Over, Yay
I don’t like loud holidays. I get nervous about all those explosions. There were random fireworks going off during the day today, too. At least they finished earlier last night than they do on New Year’s Eve! My baby girl is having a bad flare :-( She was going to a Braves game with friends […]
