Parthenogenesis is the term used to describe the process by which certain animals are able to reproduce themselves in successive female generations without intervention of a male of the species. At least one species of lizard is known to do so.

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink."

The to 10 craziest or weirdest medical conditions
|
|
I have no idea why the listed the top one first, but it's still a pretty crazy list. Some of these conditions are borderline super-powers if you ask me. I wonder where we could be if we could extract these peoples' genes... http://www.oddee.com/item_96473.aspx

here's something nice and friendly

Public enemy or one of those early 90s gangster rap groups should have done a song called 'kuf'd from behind' and talked about cops and sexual assault. I don't know if the FCC would catch on to the pun of 'kuf'd' or not. I thought about this on my run today. Welcome to the inner workings of my brain; scary, isn't it?

so Friday5.org puts out 5 questions every friday for bloggers to answer, so I think i'll play along.
What did you last replace batteries for?
- I try to use rechargable batteries where i can, but I've used a few AA in my wireless keyboard and mouse from time to time.
What have you thrown away that you probably could have had repaired?
- My sister gave me her old eliptical machine that needed some sort of belt replaced, but I was too lazy to fix it.
Among items in your line of sight right now, what should probably be put in the trash?
- I'm at my desk at work, I have some spare printouts from meetings that i won't use again...
When did you last use disposable cutlery while dining in your house?
- I don't even know what that is...plastic knives??
Whose actions cause you to waste time you otherwise wouldn’t waste?
- Well, Erik filled the dishwasher with hand soap earlier this week, and i found out the hard way and had to clean that up. I'm also driving to philly and back to see Kallie and Tim, so that would be 10 hours of driving i normally wouldn't do.

It's crazy how emotional i am. I get deeply affected by how I feel and it shows in everything I do. If I'm sad, my eyes are heavy, i have no "pep" as my pap-pap used to say, and just a general sense of malaise. I try to tie it to my diet, but that doesn't work. I try to tie to it my sleeping schedule, and that doesn't explain it. It really is just emotions. I wish my grass were emo, so it would cut itself.

Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac die 1 day apart and they're working on the same movie, Soul Men. That's pretty whacky, right? I never really cared for Bernie Mac...at all, but that's farely nuts, I think. Seems to be an occuring theme for movie stars to die while in production. New form of marketing?

Food Fight in the Hill District!
|
|
Save-a-lot was seeming to become a great addition to the Hill District community along Centre Avenue, but now we've got a horse of a different color on the block, and I like it. Kuhn's, a homegrown local grocery store, is part of a "Centre City Square" plan developed by a bunch of groups like Crawford Square and the Hill House. This is just plain great.
We're talking about something that will give the Hill some character. Not just another Family Dollar or Save-a-lot like every other underserved community. Those mega franchise places do not spur entrenpreneurship. We need to bring in locally owned and run businesses to increase the appeal and economic power of the hill district. Let's see how far this goes...

Isn't it funny how things work out?
|
|
New blog topic! This category will be for the short posts where something particular made me smile.
Kallie and I flew from California to Philly Friday, and Saturday all my family was getting together, but I wasn't planning on flying back until Sunday night. I called my family while Kallie and I were in the car, and Deirdre thought that I was on my way there to surprise them. After realizing how bad I wanted to be there, Kallie and I decided to make an impromptu road trip and got home around midnight. Kallie and I get to spend an extra day with eachother since she'll leave Tuesday morning, but the essence of this post was the text message i got from US Airways saying that I would have been stranded at the Philly airport until midnight Sunday since the flight was delayed more than an hour. I love how perfect everything worked out.

Dreams of Californication
|
|
Alright, first things first. I ran my first ever 5k on Saturday. I finished in pretty much 30 minutes flat. I crossed the line at ~30:09 and I was in the back of the starting line, so take some time to cross the line. It was on mount washington's grandview drive, and then part of that hill that connects it to the liberty tunnel, so there were some crazy hills that i was not prepared for. I definitely walked some of those hills. I also ran 6 miles in an hour last thursday, so I'm feeling a little less worried about Urbanathlon. My goal was just to finish it without being last, but if i keep going like this, i might actually be able to build a goal time and work on shaving time off of that. I know the stairs are going to kill me, so i might start practicing on the 44 stories of the office building. Wish me luck!
Now, as some of you may be in the loop, i've encountered a wonderful lady friend. Ask me someday about how we met and i'll tell you the story in person. Anyway, we've had nothing but fun in the past month or so. We've got a lot to learn about each other, and a lot of tough ground to cover, but I think she's amazing. I'm flying out to the state of california this friday to meet her family and such since her brother is getting married. We're going to go to disneyland and have a great time. I'll report back when I get back.
Finally got my raise i was expecting at work too. I'm going to keep trying to make more than twice my age, then i can retire with my goal of making 6 figures. I'm not driven by money, i would just like to say that i made 6 figures. Work's getting better too. I've got a lot of projects, so i'm keeping very busy.
Going to the warped tour with erik on tuesday. I havent been there since i was in high school I think. can't say that i'm excited to spend my day off there, but oh well. Maybe i'll take a book and read on the lawn. How old would that make me look? fun stuff.
Josh Hall project show coming up on august 24th...and we have yet to practice. tim is talking about staying out in philly for an extra week. I'm going to be away until the 11th, and andy has family coming in around the 15th or so and they want to take a trip that would have carried into the show, but he'll come back for it, even though he wants to be away for as long as he can before...so basically it comes down to us MAYBE getting 1 or 2 practices together...this is going to be interesting for sure.
