Drop Science, Not Babies.

"The same Xerox lab that brought us Ethernet, the GUI and the mouse has demonstrated paper that can be reused after printed text automatically deletes itself from its surface in a day. Instead of trashing or recycling after one use, a single piece of paper can be reused up to 100 times."
slashdot.org

"The paper contains specially coded molecules that create a print after being exposed to ultraviolet light emitted from a thin bar in a printer. The molecule readjusts itself within 24 hours to its original form to delete the print, or heat can readjust the molecule instantly. Xerox developed the molecule."

Oh, word?

I wish my job involved "developing molecules." Tonight we wrangled a group of twelve kids aged 1 to 13. My favorite part was asking the whole group of kids running around outside "Quien tiene moco?, porque tengo papel si lo necesitas." and having them all approach me so I could help them blow their noses. Gross and cute.

Sometimes I feel like a mom with way too many kids. Other times I feel like I wanna live on a polygamist commune and be a baby factory. And wear those great paisley frocks.

I guess being a baby factory is kinda like developing molecules at Xerox... except babies don't disappear after 24 hours.

Thanks to the Daily Dose for posting this one. I didn't have cable growing up, but my aunt did at her beach house. My brother and I would be sneaky and stay up late to watch Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead.

Time to spend another Sunday afternoon at the EFA office. At least there will be food.

This woman is incredible.

If you ever have the opportunity to have a drink with her (or take a class or lecture of hers), please do.

p.s. Now interviews with me have appeared in the New York Times, Brown Daily Herald, Birthright Armenia, and Simmons Alumnet. If you would like me to comment on anything, please ask. Then publish it. I'll use you to get famous, thanks.

Bistro!

What's got me so smiley lately?

the weather?
romance?
relaxing vacations?

I'm pretty sure it's the fact that I'm cat-sitting for a few weeks.

Bistro is old and loves to sing along to Bing Crosby. Feel free to come over and visit her. She's mighty snuggly.

What kind of a landlord won't allow cats? They're a great anti-depressant.

also: go to the library and read millions of cats.
