One of my favorite science writers is Ellen Morris Bishop. She wrote In Search of Ancient Oregon, which I’ve lavished much-deserved praise on here and cannot recommend highly enough. If I could personally grab each of you by the lapels, give you a good shake, and scream “Buy this book!” in your faces, I’d do …

Some Stunning Geology
I’m off to enjoy me new books and work on a post idea that struck me on the way to work. In the meantime, here’s some intriguing and awe-inspiring stuff from the world o’ geoblogging. Silver Fox has posted her Highway 50 links. I wish more geobloggers would do what she’s doing and post in-depth …

Things That Caught My Attention
I actually had time to catch up on a little reading today. Even updated me blogroll to include some of the geology blogs I’ve gotten addicted to recently. I’m a little distracted just now with terminal PMS and Rocko’s Modern Life, so now’s a good time to share some finds. Brian Romans at Clastic Detritus …

Things I Found in the Twitterverse
I woke up to a slew of interesting links on Twitter this – um, well, afternoon. Look, I work nights, all right? The crack o’ noon is my version of other peoples’ 6 ay-em. I once had to explain this to a scheduling manager at a former job who didn’t understand why we night folk …

Fangirl Gets Noticed by the Rock Stars, Freaks the Hell Out
And when I say rock stars, I mean geobloggers. Y’know, the real rock stars. My darlings. Please put down the handy throwable objects. I promise that’s the last silly pun in this post. Now stop aiming at my head. Thank you. Now, allow to ‘splain, or at least sum up. Earlier today, several geobloggers I …

Wither Geology?
I hadn’t perused Scientopia’s categories until a brushfire broke out on Twitter regarding the absence of geoblogging there. So I looked. Sure enough, no geology. That’s just not right. Look, I know biology and chemistry and physics are all shiny and exciting, but so is geology, damn it! One of the things that always annoyed …

A New Science Blog Collective is Born
And it has forced me to spend an hour updating my blogroll. But I’m not unhappy, no! Because now there’s a brand-new, shiny source for science blogging: Scientopia. A lot of your favorite ScienceBlogs expats have found new homes there, among them Whitecoat Underground. Bora’s given them a proper introduction, so I’ll just confine my …

What You Can Do While I’m Indisposed
Once every month, I ponder whether to hate my biology or my anatomy more. This is that time. Aunty Flow arrived early, so at the moment all I’m interested in is sitting very still in one position going “Ow.” This is not conducive to the kind of thought necessary for blogging. The spanking I planned …

I Probably Require Medical Attention
Far too many years ago, I was in a Mexican cantina (continuing my) drinking after my first Circus Mexicus. Stevie, then the Peacemakers’ lead guitarist, was sitting a few tables away. We were not yet drunk enough to approach him and engage in appropriate worship. And then our chance seemed to have passed, as he …

Oh, Dear – Happy Belated Blogiversary!
It’s John’s 5th Blogiversary! Well, the 24th was, anyway. Look, the point is, John Pieret’s been pureeing the stoopid for five glorious years, and we loves him, and if this were a real cantina he’d be drunk on comp drinks by now. Happy happy blogiversary to ye, laddie, and a great many more!
