2009-11-11T23:35:09Z

What was your favorite class in high school? (And no, lunch doesn't count.) I loved all the languages (including Swedish, especially essay writing, rather than literature, which were two separate classes here), and history (despite having a teac...

Do Primates Feel Compassion?

2009-11-09T04:08:08Z

I found this article very interesting, and regardless of what it concluded, I would have answered the question with a yes. Clearly other animals can feel compassion, so why not primates, our closest relatives?

Elevator to Space

2009-11-07T04:15:56Z

When I first read about this idea (in a science fiction book) I loved it. Not that I'd ever want to go to the moon, but the idea in itself is so intriguing. Fancy being able to send material up into space, without needing to use a rocket or simila...

Why Dolphins Are Deep Thinkers

2009-11-05T18:49:35Z

I just read an interesting article about dolphins. It seems the more we learn about dolphins, the more intelligent they turn out to be. Which is one reason I'm devastated whenever I read about cruelty against them or any other whale species (no, ...

Creepy... Cemetaries and weird guys

2009-10-28T20:43:12Z

This afternoon, I went to pick up some books I had ordered. Not that we can afford them, but just this once, we decided it would be alright. When I got to the store - no post offices anymore, which is such a shame, considering that we (Sweden) use...

What happened?

2009-10-27T17:24:55Z

Today the sun was shining and it was actually quite warm and not windy at all. Very nice in fact. I hurried out so I wouldn't miss the sunshine. My mom and I went shopping (groceries, nothing more fun). That's when I was hit with depression. By s...

2009-10-18T12:30:48Z

Before posting this, I debated with myself - should I post this or not? I told myself I was too grown up for this kind of thing. Then I thought wtf? I can be as young as I want. :) So here it is: You Are Fantasy / Sci Fi You have an...

QotD: Brothers & Sisters

2009-10-18T12:20:19Z

Do you have siblings? What's your relationship like with them? Bonus points if you share a photo! Yes, I do. I have a sister. We are (or at least were) best friends and we're definitely very close. Actually, we're like twins and many people thin...

My books and stuff

2009-10-16T15:27:18Z

On one of my other sites – Moonflower’s Books and Stuff – I’m discussing all my favorite books, authors, tv series, movies and more. That includes actual reviews of a kind. LOL. I’m not promising they’ll be perfect, but if you like you’re welcome...

My photoblog

2009-10-12T10:49:27Z

Since it's Monday today, I've posted a new pic on my photoblog. (I suffer from an acute shortage of photos right now, so it's not absolutely every Monday I can post a photo, but today, I had one). If you like, you're welcome to take a look.
