Maybe someone threw the Blarney stone or something at me, but I think I'm finally coming out of my mental/literary stupor. For the first time in about a week, I feel like I have things to write/talk about in a (semi) fluent way. The caffiene and abundance of cool links probably help :P

I have to include Circus of the Spineless #3, just because it's such a great name. It's a collection of links to pictures of insects, slugs, and other anthropods. There's even a picture of a huggy spider that doesn't give me the willies. Maybe it's because it's happy mint green instead of leggy, creepy black.

Speaking of things that shouldn't be cuddly, my sister showed me her Giant Microbes when I visited. I particularly favor Ebola because it's so deadly, and in plushie form it kind of looks like E.T. I know [livejournal.com profile] wendyzski has some of these, now you can collect 'em all!

Pop culture geekery: Serenity II might be a tv movie and lightsaber technique has a historical basis. Groovy :)

Finally, I wasn't going to participate in this meme because I was sure I couldn't think of any really good ones to contribute, but now that I think I might be able to hold my own, I thought I'd borrow from many but most recently [livejournal.com profile] emerald14:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

Those giant microbes are awesome. If I had a job, I was going to give all my friends a cold for the holidays!

Did you see the reply someone made to my post, where they talked abotu watching their 3-yr old playing house with the black plague and beer yeast?

I did see that!

Wow, a yeast and yersina pestis setting up house together - that could make for some very nasty mutations...

I recall that afternoon in late July when we were walking along Constitution Avenue. I still wonder how things might have gone if those FBI agents hadn't mistaken us for Israeli Secret Service.

Man, you're not kidding! Did you ever get your socks back?

Yeah, if you count a baggie full of shredded yarn. Fortunately they did return most of what I'd had in my wallet intact. I got all of the pictures, but for some bizarre reason they kept my Sigma Pi Sigma membership card.

Did they ever return your tampons?

Incredibly, I think they used them to pick their noses. Not sure why I think that, I just strongly suspect....

Yeeww. You wouldn't want them back after that. That one guy had a schnozz like Durante.

Welcome back! ***busily clicking "add to favourites, add to favourites, add to favourites"***

Those microbes are so CUTE! I want a black death and a dust mite and a flesh-eating bacteria (love the little knife and fork!). And thanks for the Invertebrate Zoo ... maybe wandering through all those links will finally turn up some information on the hummingbird moth (something my Mom asked about ages ago, after seeing one in her garden)

different kind of spider hug from same site

Snowboarding in Banff with Michael McManus and Tim Curry - don't tell me you don't remember?
