Podcasting! and Other Various Bits of Excitement
The awesome fellows over at the New England Skeptical Society worked pretty damn quickly to get the latest episode online. In case you forgot already, this is the episode I was on (about 20 minutes in until the end). You can download it here. I’ve discovered that the best thing about podcasts is that you get to listen to what…

Update-o-Rama!
Exciting times at Skepchicks headquarters (i.e., my apartment). Last night I had a delightful conversation with Dr. Steven Novella, Yale University School of Medicine neurologist and his festive band of skeptical dudes from the New England Skeptical Society. Lucky for all of you, this conversation was taped, and will soon be edited and published for the merriment of the masses…

Skanks, part two!
Sorry for the fluffiness and lateness of this entry, as I’m rather busy at the moment. I was watching the movie Mulholland Dr. last night, and I was alarmed at my sudden incredibly strong attraction to one Mr. Justin Theroux, whom I immediately wanted to lick from top to bottom. So taken was I, that I actually went onto his…

I’m logging back onto my old online personals account to dig out a funny message I got so you can maybe get a giggle (people appear to have enjoyed my previous recounting of a terrible Internet date).

Sugar is good for me (no, really)
I was at a birthday party last week at a fancy bar/lounge. Someone was walking around taking official party pics, and she sent them to me yesterday. I was captured on film precisely once out of dozens of photos, and here it is to the right. I’m the one in the pink. (The other is Joe, mentioned in an earlier…

How I became a believer (for a moment)
When I was about 10, my mom helped out a friend of hers by occasionally watching her kids — a girl my age, and a boy a few years younger. I got along very well with the girl, and we enjoyed taking care of her brother while bossing him around. We’d all ride bikes, climb trees, swing on ropes into…
