Borges interview http:\/\/t.co\/fEaQ8KYN<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

@tiffaniangus<\/a> most expressly not in that vein at all, tell him "hi" from me! Also, "BECANED." Drowning in work, but I send all the love. in reply to tiffaniangus<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
Shall I compare thee to a ratty pair of long johns? #<\/a><\/li>\n
@Keffy<\/a> I was explaining to @monicabyrne13<\/a> this week how my image of How Science Happens is now you scrambling around complex instruments — in reply to Keffy<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@Keffy<\/a> dumping tubes of liquids together, shouting about beakers, hurling mixtures into unbalanced centrifuges, Discovering New Elements &c. in reply to Keffy<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@Keffy<\/a> so that is a thing you have given the world that is unruined. (I'm certain you're a better scientist than my romantic ideal, though.) in reply to Keffy<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

on this mothers' day, remember: keep today about your mom; use birth control. #birthcontrol<\/a> #birthcontrol #<\/a><\/li>\n
The best birth control is necromancy. The best birth control is social ineptitude. The best birth control is an immeasurable cloud of moths. #<\/a><\/li>\n
New game: replace the word "gun" with "birth" on NRA bumper stickers. #<\/a><\/li>\n
best method of birth control is converting all genitals to robot spiders & sending them to mars to start a rock\/roll band with David Bowie. #<\/a><\/li>\n
New game: test how plaintively you can whisper a Mexican restaurant's menu into your coworker's voicemail. Include several takes. #<\/a><\/li>\n
salable rest only somewhat more desirable than taquitos in fact #<\/a><\/li>\n

"C'est peut-\u00c3\u00aatre la seule au monde
\nDont le coeur au mien r\u00c3\u00a9pondrait,
