Stuff on the Internets

The VeganRadio podcast I’m in is up! My interview is about two-thirds of the way through. Note that Desiree and Derek are all like, “Animal Rights! We’re really smart!” and I’m like, “I like food. Food good.” Also, I think I sound really stoned or something, but I swear to god I was totally sober. God, how horrifying is it to listen to yourself talk? At least I don’t say “like” fifty million times.

More importantly: An article on how dinosaurs had sex. Best quote:
“he said the ancient animals were hampered by what palaeontologists called the ‘golden rule’: rear-mounting males always had to keep one foot on the ground to avoid crushing their mates.

‘Their mating had to be done with great delicacy and great precision. It must have been utterly charming to watch, quite unlike our own species.’”

PS. I have started to use the word “internetting” to describe what I do approximately 90 percent of the time. Yes, I have verbed internet. It’s about time, I think.

    Blog entries like this are why I keep coming back. You rock.

    Yeah, I was wondering what the h3ll was taking it so long to get up there!! I saw my mom this weekend and I wanted to play it for her, but it wasn’t up. =( I haven’t listened yet… do I sound like a dork?? =\

    Anyway, I’ve been crazy and outta town and bleh since BM, but I wanted to say it was so cool to meet you and hang out and you totally have to help or visit next year. “Hero” and people are plan-plan-planning away.

    You didn’t sound like what I expected at all. I’m not vegan or anything (I just ate a steak) but I was curious as to what you sounded like so I skimmed through it. It’s funny to have read your blog for so long and to finally hear the voice that goes with all these written words. Cool.

    Your voice and your accent are really nice. I like the way that you draw out some words here and there, and place emphasis on words at the end of your sentences.

    I’m listening to it now and it’s good to hear your laugh. You do sound stoned, though. Are you sure you’re not stoned? You have the lingo down. You’re all “This is my first burn.” I like your description of Burning Man as a postapocalyptic carnival.
