Monkey strapped to stuffy for science
Naw, just kidding. The wonderful keepers at the Melbourne Zoo are helping abandoned baby spider monkey Estela. More here.

I have been recovering from yesterday’s accidental gluten ingestion. This brightened my day considerably. (via MetaFilter)
Read MoreAnticipating a new pen.
I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new ruby-red Pelikan M320. Lovely photos like this one by Nic McPhee make me super-duper antsy! (ETA: I should have been clearer; the pen pictured is not the pen on its way to me. This is!)
Read MoreAvoid, embrace the email situation.
Next up in my Avoid, Embrace project: the email situation. Step one: write about something I have been avoiding. My email is now not a tool but a situation. I have ActiveInbox chugging along, filing things away merrily so that I have Inbox Zero. This is nice. What is not nice is the 132 emails that need some sort of attention on my part. (That number increased to 137 just since I started writing this. Yikes.) I look at these emails in their pretty little categories that make sense, but I don’t do anything with them. Clearly, the first ones I need to tackle are my Flagged items. I flag email sparingly; it usually means that if I do not do this as soon as possible today, something Very Bad will happen. There is only one thing here today, and I can get it...
Read MoreWalking more for HealthMonth.
My third and last HealthMonth rule is walking at least 10,000 steps six days a week. This one is more difficult than I thought it would be. Optimally, I would like to take over 10,000 steps every day, but although I am enjoying my job and my classes, I am not managing my schedule very well. I really need to be in bed by 22:00 to wake up at 06:00, but instead I get to bed around 23:00 or midnight. A few things factor into this: FunkyPlaid and I have very different schedules. He goes to work later, comes home much later, and eats his meals later. If I want to spend time with him (and cook/eat dinner with him), I have to cook/eat later and stay up later. I am still in triage-mode when it comes to homework. There is so much of it, and I sacrifice bedtime for...

I am definitely feeling this one right now, especially with that HealthMonth sleep rule kicking my butt. (via MLx)
Read MoreBulletproof pants.
Time for another spam poem! All lines were taken from my spam folder, and only punctuation and line breaks have been added. The fall of Saddam Hussein has brought destruction/Hell to our great country and everything is so difficult now and all our opportunities are closing up, the new Government is trying to frustrate all our businesses. Life was better when I was younger, and with this secret potion, life seems young again. Why aren’t there bullet-proof pants? You do not know me and neither do I know you. If you are in not good state and have got no cash to move out, I know that you will grant my request in good faith. Regarding the transfer: Mulberry bush aside, would a monkey really chase a weasel?
Read MoreFat, Ugly, or Slutty
You play video games? So are you fat, ugly, or slutty? This chuckle-worthy site posts gaming misogyny for all to mock. (via CourtneyP)
