"Well-behaved women seldom make history."

--Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

I saw a bumper sticker that boasted this slogan the other day. I thought it was rather clever.

Is it true I wonder? If it is, then I am destined go down in the annals of time, becasue there are few that can

Science is Awesome!!!

So yesterday, in preparation for my annual pirate party, I took a little trip to my local party supply store. There I purchased a few items to complete my piratey ensemble (this years costume preparation required slightly more effort as I will be a female pirate for a change), which included a flower for my massive colonial style wig, as well as a pair of red and black stripped stockings. On my way home I stopped at the local Chick-Fillet and ate a sandwich. While waiting for my food I happened to see the kid’s meal display. It indicated that accompanying every kid’s meal was a science themed toy. Your child too can collect all (5) chemistry related toys, which included a beaker, graduated cylinder, evaporating dish, and test tube (I forgot the last item on the list). Being a bit of a science geek, I was impressed. In researching this blog post I found a lady ranting on her blog about the lameness of receiving a beaker in her child’s Chick Fillet kid...

An Affair to Remember

It greatly disturbs me that I have a bottle of fish sauce in my refrigerator. I have no idea how it came to be there. For that matter, I have no idea what it is used for. It has been sitting there rather unassumingly for some time now, fraternizing with the Grey Poupon in some forgotten corner of my condiments shelf. I am not in the habit of wasting food, and as such, I have not had the heart to throw it away. I think it had a love tryst with the kikkoman. I have been finding little packets of duck sauce strewn about, and I can only assume that they are the progeny of their illicit union. It prompted me to write a haiku about the whole sordid affair. Fish sauce how can you Sit there so coolly while I Ponder your being? The soy sauce was so distraught it tried to commit suicide yesterday, leaping haphazardly from its precarious perch. Or was it just trying to distance itself from the minced garlic? If my neighbor had such an offensive disposition, I might try to move too.

The Infinite Probability Drive

While there is something to be said for making the most of whatever predicament you find yourself in, I cannot help wishing to experience every possibility the universe has to offer simultaneously. During my waking hours, my mind often digresses, and I find myself wondering what if ... What if I had not gone on that trip... what would have happen if I had talked just a bit longer with that interesting girl in the coffee shop... if I had pursued that passion... if I had not pursued that one... Lately I have realized that I am not content with the limited nature of the universe. Perhaps I am being selfish. How does that old saying go... Give some someone an inch and they will take a mile… I do not deny that when life’s lots were parceled I got much more than an inch out of the deal, and I think I have lead an surprisingly fulfilling existence so far. In fact all-in-all I would rate my brief stint on this planet fairly favorably. But what is it all? If life is a beach.. I have se...
