(no subject)

Just turned in homework 4. I'm not completely happy with the solutions I came up with, but I hammered on this thing for the past week and a half (gratefully, the last 3 sessions give us 10-12 days to complete the assignments. There's no way I could have done this last one in only 7 days!)

Only two more of these suckers and I'm (relatively) free until January. Last one is due on Halloween, so it might impact any potential festivities :/

sex in the south

From susie_bright: "What Women Think About Sex at Middle Tennessee State U. and part 2, Sex Survey at MTSU, containing further thoughts and comparisons to her studies at Ivy League colleges.

Of interest to me because I was raised in the South and a lot of the repressiveness sounds awfully familiar, but I'm pleased to see so many intelligent and genuinely curious questions.

Further thoughts on request or as/if the thread develops.

my birthday

Stolen from geekchick: this day in history from Wikipedia. I knew about the Titanic and Lincoln's assassination, but I think I get extra cool points for sharing birthdays with Buffy and Julie Christie. Para-nerdery points for also sharing with Erich von Daniken.

( snipped for some desperately needed brevity - it's a damn long list! )

And hey - 2 years ago they finally completed the human genome sequence on my birthday!
