Here is this week’s list of blog posts and other tidbits from my favourite corners of the web.
From Scars:
But the more we learn about our own perspective and the more we see that it is just that, our perspective based on all that has happened to us and probably most influenced by whatever scarring we have undergone, the more we can relate to others and understand that they are doing the same thing, working from their perspective which, like ours, has been molded by whatever they have undergone.
The Tale of My Broken Neck. Why you should always wear a helmet when riding a bike, skateboarding, skating, etc. This story includes graphic descriptions of the aftermath of a bike accident. The rest of the site may not be work-safe. Consider yourself warned. 😉
20 Reasons Why People Have Sex. I’m feebly trying to resist the urge to quote all 20 reasons and explain the difference between marked and hidden estrus the next time someone insists the purpose of sex is reproduction. Possibly not a work-safe link.
From Spotlight or Fame:
We loved her voice. We rooted for her comeback. But perhaps she moved into the spotlight too suddenly. Perhaps the flame from the light burned her in places no one could see.
The Paper Menagerie sent a chill down my spine. What have you been reading this week?
“the whole beast: nose to tail eating” by fergus henderson. some of the ingredients he uses in the recipes seem gross, but the way he describes them makes them seem very appetizing. i’d like to try some out.
I just requested that book from the library. Sounds good!
Beaitiful short story. I’ve been reading Darwin’s origin of species.
Thank you!
I’ve never been able to finish Origin of Species. Do you like it so far?
I’m skimming it. So far i can’t see why it was such a hated book. It is stating obvious things, about current differences between and within species.
this one is on my library list! i just read a carl sagan book (shadows of forgotten ancestors) & he references darwin quite a bit.
