West of the moon. First the bees, now the bats? From the New York Times is disturbing- apparently bats are dying, in large numbers, and no one knows why. They're looking at a set of caves and mines in the northeast that are home to large bat colonies, and in all of these caves, something like ninety percent of the bats are dead or dying from a mysterious illness.

West of the moon. Laquo; playing the numbers. Is history a science? Just the other day, I was thinking that it must be some kind of indication about my personality that I got a warm fuzzy happy glow when I heard a newscaster on NPR use the phrase giant robotic arms on the space station and not be talking about fiction. Giant robotic arms! On the space station! Or at least robot arms. Except that I'm experiencing some ambivalence about robots at the moment, thanks to this video. But if were seeing it on Y...

West of the moon. Laquo; hitting the ground running. or not. Playing the numbers. ». A personal history of the magnetic fields. I'm pretty sure that it was 100,000 Fireflies, on a mix-tape from a friend, that made me a fan. Everything accelerated from there. Music is such a social experience, and most of my college friends liked the Magnetic Fields; I owned a few CDs, but even if I hadn't, the music was somehow just always there. Was an -event-. No matter how many times I listened to it, I found some...

West of the moon. Laquo; africa reading challenge. Having decided to stop being ambivalent about the fact that I have a web presence, and instead to just have a damn web presence and learn to live with it, I've got a shiny new website over at susangroppi.com. I also have a shiny new weblog, at susangroppi.com/blog. The entire contents of this weblog, comments and all, have been exported over to there, and I'm even trying to add in all those past years of other, older, abandoned webjournals.

West of the moon. The weather's been beautiful here, and I've been penned up indoors most of the time. Yesterday afternoon, I took a break from indoors and worked on my plants a little bit. Is the closest to what my begonias look like, although mine are far less scenic.) I also bought some new plants, and inherited even more plants from another friend who was moving out of town, and, well, I ended up with a lot of plants. My apartment in Oakland was perfect for them, flooded with light. Nothing was stole...
