Oh no!
My MacBook’s HD failed again. It’s not even a year old.
I’m sad now.

On Being Helpful
The U of C medical center is a circuitous, confusing place. My lab is in a particularly confusing part of it, so we get lots of lost people asking us for directions to various areas.
Just now, two men asked me how to get to a nephrology lab.
And just minutes before that, a really cute guy asked how to get to another lab on the third floor.
I thought about directing him to my dick.
Hey, kids...
Don’t forget to just-the-tip your waitstaff.
Hey, y'all...
…any suggestions for a good Italian restaurant in the city? Nothing too fancy. Neighborhood is no issue.

There was a tense community on the north, that was risking disease and chemical exposure staying where they were. There was also the people associated with U of C on the south side. They had built an ominous tower where all sorts of inhumane studies were going on, and the…
Moral dereliction all the way! I’ve already got my post-apocalyptic plan set. Thank goodness for the hospital with all its secret rooms and circuitous corridors. The ARC is a fucking maze. And I’m the Minotaur.
I do as I please
Now I’m on my knees
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea
And I am watching you
And you are starry, starry, starry
Oh, and you will never ever know how very sorry
You will be
I am
Now, I’m tumbling down
And I check a frown
Storm’s a brewin’.

Bette Davis is my favorite.
Ugh
When someone at the bar steals your coat.
I've recently become obsessed with the science of sex after reading Bonk by Mary Roach which I'm assuming is like the cliff's notes of cliff's notes. Any 101 books you'd recommend on this subject?
So I’ve been thinking about this since you asked, and I have to apologize because 1) I took so long to answer, and 2) I actually don’t have a very good answer for you. Most of what I know about sexual biology and reproductive evolution comes from my psych courses, biology lectures, symposia at U of C, and, of course, TV (The Learning Channel…back when it was for shows other than What Not to Wear). So yeah, I don’t really know about a good 101-type book.
BUT you might want to try some resources like the Journal of Sex Research or the Kinsey Institute for a start.
