Well here's a confession
it was just a temporary obsession,
learn this lesson

Wasn't right to keep you guessin.

laughing out loud...
someone upstairs is smokin that ooooo-wheee, and it's making me feel looop-eeee...in fact, the whole neighborhood smells like it. what kind of crazy town is this?

the sky is
too pink to be red


our research has switched gears, which is exciting cuz counting beetles daily was getting tedious. we're now studying the parasites that have taken over our beetles. pretty interesting stuff, feels like i'm actually contributing to something. nothing significant, though. i highly doubt that what we're doing has any sort of practical application. well maybe the pheremone part does...but that makes it learning just for learning's sake, and i'm perfectly happy with that. i think scientists know enough about the world. part of the beauty of the world is all the mystery and surprises in it. what will happen when there are no more surprises? but this is a difficult subject, as, in principle, i was opposed to cancer research (nature's way of controlling human population) but then my grandmother went and died of cancer.

how to separate the universal from the personal?
