They grow up (and old) so fast. :cry:

The Burrowers Movie, 2008 Rotten tomatoes reviews This is a relatively obscure and odd horror flick. It's a period piece as well, a western. I quite enjoyed it though obviously a lot of people did not. It's one of those odd balls where the critics liked it and the audience mostly panned it...

My initial thoughts about Bjork way back when were "she probably has detachable body parts and comes from another planet, but I'd definitely do her". My thoughts have not changed. Besides, she's 100% right about the TV.

Okay, 'tis the season to be thankful. And crap. Numerous studies have shown that being grateful/thankful for what you have sets off chemical changes in your brain that improve your happiness. I was reminded of this at Walmart today by this ridiculously happy woman saying what a fantastic day...

toad. Phrynosoma cornutum. I found him while piling and burning brush today. Good specimen; well colored. He kept trying to escape me by hiding under the thorny brush, which was on fire at the time. Made catching him a bit tricky. He calmed down once I had him in hand, and didn't squirt blood at...

This latest religion/spirituality thread got me thinking. It has seemed to me for some time that the population on this forum leans towards the higher numbers on the Dawkins scale. I would like to see some actual data, and see if I am correct in this. I don't plan on arguing with anyone, or...

There are a mated pair of ring-necked ducks that have taken up residence in my pond. I believe they already have a nest, though I don't dare disturb it. Ducklings are likely on the way. The problem is, they're quite wild, and I can't get close to them. These are the best I could get, at...

Do you know what they are? Do you obey them? Do you agree with them? Do you understand them? I just spent a little time researching this while I'm waiting for the dryer to buzz. I found a number of lists, many of which had rules I thought were just silly and likely made up on the spot. This...

You may have seen this photo before around the interwebs: It's from a girl's tumblr about judgements. rosea posey I'd thought about posting this earlier to get input from the spw peeps, but decided against it. Until a friend of mine posted this: And she commented on how sad it was. I...

It's coming. It's tomorrow. Are you prepared? The Official site for International Talk Like A Pirate Day - September 19
