It's wrong, yes, but I think the vagina / vulva ship has really sailed.

Though the vulva ship might be more of a submarine...

Little clitoris periscope...

By purest chance, the author of the standard text was Edwin G. Boring.

One of the authors of my high school physics text was named Charles Elwood Dull.

le nubian, that doesn't look like anything created by a bug. Termite leavings look like sawdust. What's on the other side of that wall?

My mysterious home slow-moving disaster is water. Several weeks ago, I realized that water was squishing out between the boards of the laminate in my kitchen. It could have been going on for a while, because until I was looking at my feet and saw the water oozing out, I just thought I had splashed some water.

Googling indicated that I should take up at least part of the laminate so it could dry underneath, but I couldn't get an angle to start pulling it up because I would have had to start under the cabinets. I could have done it by destroying some flooring, but that seemed ridiculous when this started, because I thought there couldn't be that much water. I haven't had any spills that I haven't mopped up. There's no leak under the sink that I can feel. The icemaker line is not leaking. Now the boards are warping and I'm obsessing about mold and wood rot.

Leaky dishwasher? Fridge defrost/plugged drain thing? In any case, I think you're at the point of destroying some boards.

Yesterday I would have said my knee has made huge improvements. Today, after spending the day in the office, shopping for flats, and moving furniture around at home? Not enough ice. Need more ice.

I managed to leave home without my phone this morning. I miss it (partly because I could be playing Words w/Friends right now) but really the biggest drawback for the day has been not knowing the time.

I just got the sweetest email from a student. She was in my class last semester, but she kinda crashed and burned and stopped coming. Only after the semester ended did she contact me to let me know what happened (she had gotten really sick). So I set up the paperwork to change her grade, but it took a while to all come together. But it's all resolved now, and she just sent the sweetest thank you to me. Made me a little verklempt.

I just learned the purpose of spermaceti- it's a buoyancy device. They cool it by drawing in water to turn it to wax and they sink. Warm it back up, increases buoyancy. So frickin' cool. How I got to this age and never wondered, despite reading a lot about the whale oil trade... Um, and prehensile penis. This biologist is waaay too excited and yet not at all heee-heee about whale penis. She's flopping it about and extolling its virtues. (Dead whale.)

Got a hand-drawn thank you note from Piper, my ex-neighbor's daughter. Kids are so cool. It's of her, dad, step-mom and their dog (all labelled) and a drawing of the necklace she made (I gave her a bead kit and a mess of glitter glue.)

I did not know that, sarameg. Hard to wrap my brain around it.
