There’s this really nice piece at underthegunreview.net by Jacob Tender that a friend forwarded me today. It’s about how important Fall Out Boy’s album “From Under the Cork Tree,” was to him. After reading it though, nostalgic and well-written as it was, I really found myself more depressed than…

This is so sad. Folie is amazing (my personal favorite FOB album, but I guess I’m the only one), Truant Wave is amazing, Soul Punk is amazing. Guess Patrick Stump doesn’t realize just how talented he is, and how many true fans he has.

Makes me want to listen to Soul Punk. I had been staying away from it, because it recently hit too close to home, and not in a good way, but I’m going to give it another shot :)

Bizarre sea slug is half plant, half animal
Scientists discover chlorophyll-producing sea slug that can carry out photosynthesis using genes swiped from plants.

This is the craziest thing EVER.

Science taboo for Republicans seeking White House
Many Republican candidates vying for their party’s nod dismiss science in favor of strong evangelical faith, playing to a hardline conservative electorate. Only one of the White House contenders, former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, has come out with force to proclaim a belief in man-made climate change, as he condemned his party’s hostility to science.

So this is my new tattoo! Pretty awesome, yeah?

the Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept

It looks a little funky up close, but from a medium distance it is pretty awesome. I think it’s healing poorly, so I’ll need to have it touched up. Unfortunate.

Otherwise, it is exactly what I wanted, but I found out that some people assume it is from Twilight. Most unfortunate.

My plan is to have my whole right forearm lined with lit quotes. I might do the opening lines of Kafka’s Metamorphoses next, and when I turn 30, I’ll get something from the Great Gatsby. Not sure what I’ll do for the rest of the space.

Maybe when I’m successful, I’ll have a line from my own book there.

My husband needs to come home now. Stupid business trips. Stupid Texas.

While trying to think of what would make the best breakfast sandwich out of the limited resources in my fridge, I wrote down the recipe I dreamt up, lest I forget by 6 A.M.

Being a dork, it came out as a poem. I now share it with you because I am slowly losing all shame. My dignity went long ago.

“Breakfast Sammy”

by David Welsh

Flip one egg fried,

With a pinch of salt inside.

Stir in it some spinach

With flaked red pepper to finish,

And slide it onto rye

Before the yolk cooks dry.

I don’t think I fully appreciated this when it was read to me while I was sleeping, but its amazing, and I get to eat it in the morning. :D
