How to Pronounce Procyonidae

I don't know, and hopefully no one else in my climatology class does either. Say with confidence, remind them you are a paleontologist, and walk away.

Allo, to the masses, this is one of my favorite artists. Go read, laugh, and be educated.

Life is taking its toll. Neither my brain nor body is able to make it past 10pm anymore. One would expect that early to bed would mean early to rise, but still my waking hour does not average much earlier than 5. Perhaps I burned myself out in high school, when it didn't really matter. Come college days, I'm already tired. And still, 7 or 8 years more to go. But, the future excites me.

The present, meaning the next two weeks, are overwhelming. Research presentation 1 day from now, finals begin in 8 days, and my departure from California arrives in 13... something's gotta give.

On Tuesday we took to the town and spent the night celebrating the European Showcase of the Newport Film Festival. First, a Swedish period film filled with jazz and 60s fashion, then a snazzy after party on the ritzy side of town. Fulfilling my part-time Orange County residency one step at a time.

The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.. It is the etymological light nostalgia that seem something like the pain of ignorance, of not knowing. "You are far away, and I don't know what has become of you."

"Nostos Algos" friom Ignorance by Milan Kundera

We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.
