londo's hair judgement

Good news! I asked londo about the new hair pictures, and he said that he can no longer comfortably refer to my hair as short! Yay! The last I asked him for commentary on my hair, it was still 'short.' Hehe.

Of course, it's still not LONG to him. That would be, y'know, this (Jen/Chiana, for those who know her.) He defined my hair currently as "growing," which I'm happy with. :)

Man. I have so many neuroses tied to my hair. Stupid Michael Padula in seventh grade.

Homosexual Necrophiliac Ducks!!

http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/research/story/0,9865,1432991,00.html

Ducks behave pretty badly, it seems. It is not so much that up to one in 10 of mallard couples are homosexual ... but they regularly indulge in "attempted rape flights" when they pursue other ducks with a view to forcible mating. "Rape is a normal reproductive strategy in mallards," explains Mr Moeliker.

...

"Next to the obviously dead duck, another male mallard (in full adult plumage without any visible traces of moult) was present. He forcibly picked into the back, the base of the bill and mostly into the back of the head of the dead mallard for about two minutes, then mounted the corpse and started to copulate, with great force, almost continuously picking the side of the head."

bruised butt!

Owie!

This morning, while taking the trash out, I failed to notice that the steps from the front door down to the sidewalk were covered with ice. I stepped down onto the first one and did a CLASSIC banana-peel slip, falling on my butt onto the edge of the step. And sending trash everywhere. I collected myself and have spent the entire day acutely aware that there was probably a nice bruise forming on my behind.

I was right.

If you are interested in JUST seeing the bruise with no identifying features (i.e. it could be on my calf for all you know), click here and here. If you don't mind a picture of my naked bottom (nothing I wouldn't show my casual friends) (and it is filtered to those on my friends' list, only) check it out.

Poor me. :(
