clickies

[phinnia]

today's clickies are brought to you by hithah, who is one of the kindest people i know, and who needs to come to Seattle at some point that isn't going to be eaten up by packing up our apartment; and mactavish, who is a fantastic friend and owned by several beautiful dogs. i want to be one of her dogs, were i reincarnated.

anatomy lessons through the ages.

that splenda you're drinking will be in the water supply for a while. splenda tastes odd to me (although a lot of things taste odd to me) and most chemistry people i've heard that have voiced opinions on it won't go near it with a thirty-foot pole, and to me, that's fairly telling.

how fractals explain what's wrong with wall street. i adore fractals. i forgot how much i like them, too. <3

new play tells the story of rosalind franklin, the woman behind DNA's double helix

maybe i need to go out or something. i don't know. i need to relax because the pain thing is getting to me and the therapist thing is getting to me - a lot of things are getting to me. problem is that i don't know where to go (i'm short on cash until payday, i don't know if it's too cold for a walk ... hm. maybe i'll go to that weird mystery shop (it actually does something involved with mysteries). maybe some ice cream for after dinner tonight will be a relatively inexpensive splurge item. i don't know. maybe i want to stay in ... i really don't know anymore.

okay, the phone is startling me something fierce. bad, bad day for anxiety. i either need to go out or shut off the phone ringer. and i need to take a klonopin.

Oh, goody. I'm a fan of Rosamund Franklin. Finally she gets her due.

Thank you for posting this.

A+++ ROSALIND FRANKLIN

No one ever gives her credit.

I've found that just sitting outside and drinking a good cup of tea is a very nice thing to do. You can kind of pamper yourself and enjoy a breath of fresh air without having to put any strain on your body and/or mind.

Or, if you don't like tea, whatever beverage of choice. <3

wow. I'd never heard of Franklin, despite multiple years in bio, chem, and biochem classes. I wonder how that happened. *floored, and annoyed*

anatomy slideshow: SO COOL

chimps: not surprised really :P

splenda: even less surprised, that stuff scares teh bajeesus out of me

fractals: brain not up for it just yet, will try to re-read later.

ps i vote for tea, terrifying some hipsters, mysteries, sunshine, and ice cream.

*cuddles.*

Splenda (and most artifical sweeteners) = migraine trigger, and a nasty one, two. Aspartame is my mortal foe, my sweet nemesis. It'll take me out in a second.

I don't know why people think chimps are harmless, sweet critters of love and joy. Here in CT, we're dealing with the infamous Chimp Attack 09, and at casa anneheart we can't help but wonder why anyone would keep a chimp as a pet. Srsly, they are nature's vandals who will take a rock and a stick, make an axe out of them, then brain you in your sleep if given the chance. (Of course, we at casa anneheart don't feel overly bad when some swimmer's been attacked by a shark because dude, you're in the shark's environment and sharks eat things. It's what they do. You should know that before you jump in.)

Crap. I practically live on Splenda. It's so much sweeter than sugar, which makes it A++ in my book.

Chimps, on the other hand, have long scared the crap out of me. (Bonobos are especially bad.)

[burgundy.livejournal.com]

Really? But bonobos are the nice ones that make with the sexy-sexy. It's the regular chimps that are all like, "I will eat the babies of my enemies."

Re: Splenda, we are making the change to Stevia and Agave syrup, particularly for Rachel. We do still buy some soft drinks containing Splenda, but for everything else, we've stopped using it.

You have to be careful with Stevia, though. It can taste bitter if you use too much.

I will be weaning myself off Splenda. Scary stuff.

OMGOMGOMG! I watched yesterday's House-- BEST ONE IN A LONG TIME! You must see it! Plus, next week's is going to have the Death Cat in it! EEEE!

[karjack.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to that episode. My dad didn't have _the_ death cat at his hospice, but there was a death cat. Her name was Tilly, and she stayed with him to the end. I hope there's a death cat around when it's my time to check out.

Me too, on all counts.
