I just finished up an essay that I had to wring out of my brain. So, I give you linkies. The Art and Science of Making Ghosts Visible This is beautiful and haunting. If you’re from the U.S. and are still undecided about the upcoming election, CNN has created an… Read more »

It’s Blog Action Day
It took me a while to decide what to write today. Poverty is one of those things that comfortable people try not to think about. I was in San Francisco last month, and I caught myself averting my eyes when a homeless person stretched his hand out to me. And… Read more »

Paperless paper? Oh yeah!
I love books. I love, in particular, books that are still printed on paper. I love tucking one in my purse, being able to curl up with one in my lap, so on and so forth. I love the feel of paper under my fingertips as I read. E-books? Sound… Read more »

Running away with the circus, brb.
I work as a tutor, and it’s getting to that point in the semester when we’re swamped with science papers. Running away with the circus never looked so good. Deep breaths, Fangirl. Deep breaths. I should be writing a short paper on Hitchcock’s Rear Window, but… well, I’m sure you’ve… Read more »

Vacation Time!
A brief vacation, anyway. I’m going to the Bay Area for the weekend! I’ve never been, so I’m really looking forward to seeing San Francisco. Not that I’ve been posting regularly lately, but there won’t be any posts until at least next Tuesday. I don’t think I’ll have really regular… Read more »

Steampunk!
Another drive by post. I really miss having free time. [sigh] Heather over at The Galaxy Express is having Steampunk Week! Today’s post examines steampunk as a genre and looks at the reasons for its sudden surge in popularity. She also recommends a number of steampunk books, and is giving… Read more »
