In Honor of Spring Fever

I've never done this before, but so many of you out there are in such a mood lately that I find I really, really can't help myself.

Yes, today I am making the first-ever Hummingwolf Sex Post (well, there was that one post with the comment thread that ended up being all about the etymology of the word "masturbate," but that doesn't really count, does it?).

Slept most of the weekend. I really haven't much to say by way of an update, though I did walk a few miles yesterday.

Seen at the grocery store--and maybe I'm the last person to notice--was a product tie-in that made me stop in my tracks. "Why yes," I thought to myself, "peoples lips always are more chapped in the wintertime. So of course it makes perfect sense to get your ChapStick from a land where it's always winter and never Christmas!" Bloody obvious once you think about it.

Seen via some feed or other (stayfreemag, probably): The Past Is Over: "Can you imagine a speech given by president Bush that would convince you that he has had a change of heart and could actually be the president of your dreams? It is all too easy to criticize our president and his administration. Life changing events (often of the extremely painful variety) force us to reevaluate our values and actions. What if something like this happened to our president. What if he were humbled in some way which caused a profound change in his outlook on life and his role as the leader of our country - turning the aggressive posturing of an all-attack-all-the-time leader into a gentler, wiser soul determined to demonstrate the power of honesty and vulnerability."

These kids probably aren't Republicans.

Not sure where I got this one: Air Force Plan: Hack Your Nervous System. Yay?

What the heck is wrong with people, anyway?
