Kurt Vonnegut was on BCC World News' World Book Club (The Word) on NPR at 2:30 this morning.

He was hilarious.

You can listen to it here.

You should check it out. He talks about Slaughterhouse 5.

"You are a man of extreme passion, a hungry man not quite sure where his appetite lies, a deeply frustrated man striving to project his individuality against a backdrop of rigid conformity. You exist in a half-world suspended between two superstructures, one self-expression and the other self-destruction. You are strong, but there is a flaw in your strength, and unless you learn to control it the flaw will prove stronger than your strength and defeat you."
- In Cold Blood

My boss has skin cancer. She says it's the good kind. So does the internet.

So hopefully it'll be okay. I hope so. She deserves better than being screwed over repeatedly.

I love you all.

P.S. France looks hopeless. I'd love to talk more about it but I just feel like crying. I want to go home and play KH2 and cry. I'm at work, waiting to go make copies.

P.P.S. I'm bored with my hair already. I want it longer again.

This is me trying to make this work.
This is me lifting the clouds.
This is me enjoying summer as soon as it starts.

I'm not going to let everybody enjoy the beach while I sit at home. I'm going to Coney Island today.

Unless I get $421.26 by Wednesday, I cannot go to France.

Any hugs would be appreciated.

Still Alive...
Well, that (paper) was relative shite, but at least it's done.

What worries me the most is how far I let myself get out of hand these past few days.

Thanks for putting up with me, Michelle.

I'm doomed.
I heard this on BBC World News last night/this morning:

"New research suggests that a diet high in dairy products can greatly increase a woman's chances of having twins.

A study in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine showed milk drinkers were five times more likely to have twins than women who ate no animal products.

The numbers of twins in the world has increased significantly in the past 30 years, in some countries by over 50%.

Scientists have suggested fertility treatments and women delaying pregnancy can help explain the rise.

But this new research indicates that diet can also play an important part.

Ovaries stimulated

In the study, the twinning rates of women who ate a diet including milk were compared with women who followed a vegan, or no animal products diet.

It is believed that a protein found in the livers of animals may be the cause. Called Insulin-like Growth Factor or IGF, it is found in cow's milk and other animal products.

In women it makes the ovaries more sensitive and increases the number of eggs produced. Higher levels of IGF improve the survival chances of an embryo in the early stages of development.

The effect is likely to be greater in countries such as the United States that allow growth hormones to be fed to cattle.

The researcher behind this study says that women thinking of getting pregnant might consider alternatives to meat and dairy products to reduce their chances of having twins, as multiple births are more prone to complications."

I hear that our zoo is going to have a stingray exhibit starting on Saturday in which you can pet the stingrays and stuff.

The kite festival is on Saturday in Grand Haven and I hear that they will have glow-in-the-dark kites at night. I would love to do that also.

So those are my plans for the weekend. If you want in on any of them, feel free to call.

I love you all.

I'm going to start being a little more liberal with Woohu again. I keep thinking I have to have something to say to come on here, forgetting the therapeutic value of just writing, whatever the topic may be. That said:

Leeder, I have some bad news. Looks like the Nellie McKay situation has went from bad to worse. Turns out she just recently died of colon cancer...
Nellie McKay is dead. Long live Nellie McKay.
