I totally thought Owl was a dude, no clue SHE was such a pretty thing.

Oh well. Guess my secret's out! SURPRISE! Though I'm not that pretty of a thing but it's nice of you to say so. [:

Terrible, ain't it?

Bahhh why's it terrible?

Also, Irina, your dress is darling. You look cute.

Oh shutup. I feel like a real old fart saying this, but ten years from now you are going to look back on all those silly pictures of yourself, even the ones with funny looks on your face, and be all... Damn, I looked good...

This made me laugh out loud. Possibly. I hope I won't change into a weird looking creature by then.

Seriously, there are way too many attractive ladies here for it to have happened at random. There has to be something more happening here. I just need more time to figure out what it is.

Never!!
I've been saying Oh my Sagan for a year because it was originally Oh my self, because my friend and I were discussing if 'God' said oh my god it would say oh my self..but that was really more of a joke between just us two. Oh my Sagan just made sense, obviously!

I love him with the force of billions and billions of burning suns.

You are in good company. Fudge Camel and I share a pretty deep and burning love of Sagan(you should see my facebook page). We should start a fan club.

YES!!!! You should see MY facebook page. Cosmic lovelyness all day every day. I'm sure all the normal people get annoyed but I love science everywhere! Facebok is so ridiculous that's all I post anymore other than my photos - science & Carl Sagan. Personal stuff on facebook is so lame and overrated.

I haven't posted a recent picture in a while, so uh...here's what I've been doing during my break. I couldn't decide whether to put this in the science thread or not.

I like your face and your book. Smile

Here are some more adorable squishy baby photos:

Blowing raspberries during bath time

Loving on each other

Grinning with his one tooth

And so that I don't just post baby photos all the time, here are some nature ones:

What an amazing resolution! 365 day photo projects are the best.
I really like the middle photo, and your little ones are beyond adorable.

Thanks! Your comment about the middle photo actually got me looking at them and I changed from the first to that one, on my blog. The lighting looks different and there's more fog in front of my face.

thank you, owl c: and it's so good! it's like an overview of tons of things--volcanoes, evolution, language, etc.-- and he really connects them all so well. not only that, but it's written so an average person (even a teenager or a particularly smart child) as well as a biology major can find it informative and interesting.

chenoa, your baby looks like tommy pickles and he's so cute. also you're beautiful and I love your nose piercing. I always considered switching out my lip ring for a nose ring but I don't think I could pull it off.

You're welcome! Sounds right up my alley. That's all I read about along with politics and odd things. Next book on my must-read-list.

I like the nose piercing. It can be inconspicuous if I want it to be. I took my lip piercings out some months ago because they were irritating my lip and gums. I don't feel like they were really my style anyway, just someone I wanted to be for someone else.

Yes, definitely Tommy Pickles (except maybe with Dil's nose) Smile

I'm sure he'd love you, he's a very happy baby. You could talk to him about science and balance stuff.

Yes, I really liked the contrast in it. As well as the last one with your hair. I love hair. I want to make mine super long and be ridiculous. If only it would grow faster!!
I'm glad rugrats came up. Definitely Tommy.

Well, to be fair, Jersey Shore is forced upon you, where as Sagan isn't and he isn't in the media at all. Most people who are not highly involved in his beliefs/teachings/ideas probably have no idea what he would look like... like me, until recently.

This is a good point, maybe it's more so television & the media [in America] focusing on the wrong people is what's wrong with the world.

Which reminds me NatGeo & Discovery makes life alright.

There was an exhibit at my Library a couple of years ago of paintings and photographs of industrial items. Factories and rusty docks and lonely forgotten materials and such.

It really surprised me how much aching beauty was captured in these scenes.

Made me start to see the world differently.

Mythbusters is so annoying. I used to enjoy watching it, now I can't stand it anymore. My boyfriend ruins it as well, because every episode he'll be correcting what they're doing and how what they're doing doesn't actually prove or disprove what they're trying to find out.
