Welcome, Silvia!

(we love you!)

Gratuitous Videos

These are my two favorite Bjork songs.

Koi, lactation, and Regina.

Last night I came home to find out our favorite fish had died. Today we will conduct a small ceremony for all the losses we have experienced recently. It will involve fire.

On a completely unrelated note, I read this article today about useless body parts. One of the entries was on MALE NIPPLES, and had this to say:

Lactiferous ducts form well before testosterone causes sex differentiation in a fetus. Men have mammary tissue that can be stimulated to produce milk.

I have heard this before. I know I discussed it with Liz at one point. I dug up this for those who would like more information.


And here's a Regina video to top off the madness. (I was going to post a video of male lactation, but then when I got to youtube I found them too disturbing.)

For Maddie

Stately, kindly, lordly friend,
Condescend
Here to sit by me, and turn
Glorious eyes that smile and burn,
Golden eyes, love's lustrous meed,
On the golden page I read.

-Algernon Charles Swinburne, "To a Cat"



Maddie, we will miss you.
