blue crab sex mystery.
an extremely rare dual-gender crab was caught in the Chesapeake bay (some time ago). how did the waterman who caught this crab know that it was a bilateral gynandromorph? watermen apparently conducted their own experiment by throwing the gynandromorph into a tank with a female crab. the confused crustacean first began mating as a male and then changed its mind and ate the female.

HATE mail.
today, like any other day, i had multiple tabs open in safari. i was surfing all around, simultaneously watching my gmail-inbox tab, waiting for a number sandwiched in between two parentheses to pop up. finally i get it: (2) and i get extremely excited, stop what i'm looking at (sleepy kitties on youtube) and switch over to check the mail. oh how wonderful, someone commented on my blog today. it's nice to know that people look at it, even if they are angered by my 'uninformed' opinions. actually two people commented (see Myles and Nicoloff posting) and i thought it would be worthwhile to give an appreciative response. first off, i will just copy and paste the comments in this posting, for those of you who are lazy:
SNAKEOIL said (at 8:05pm today)...
In regards to Michael Nicoloff's poetry: just because you don't get it, doesn't mean it's not good.
SNAKEOIL said (at 8:12pm today)...
p.s. i bet you think american apparel is "omg so edgy!"
fake transgressive L.A. dumb ass
ANONYMOUS said (at 8:49pm today)...
For all yr smack about Eileen's hair--your should have seen Nicoloff's fantastic hair six months ago. I mean, fantastic! But wait!!--that would mean that you had actually attended some readings in the Bay Area and knew who Nicoloff was. Because he was there...and probably reading his great and really fast poems at several of them.
You should really check out this guy:

You'd be great friends. He's equally uninformed.
in response to SNAKEOIL, why yes, like, totally, like, omg, american apparel is like so edgy. i love their flashy rehashing of the eighties onsies, omg and i love that they are like totally all over the place now like so whenever i travel i can stop in and get some awesome dayglo leggings, omg, like totally, because like, sustainability most definitely means going global, fo sho, ah mah gah.
in response to ANONYMOUS, who i suspect is most likely the same person as SNAKEOIL (suspect is the word 'smack' and the time in which this last comment was posted, so close to the other two); well, you are correct, i have not seen Nicoloff's hair any other way than the way it was worn that sunday at 21 Grand. but, thanks to flickr, i have this great photo of his hair, and i'm only guessing that this is what you were referring to when you say "fantastic!"
i apologize for any offensive/uninformed criticism i have relayed over the internet. perhaps you feel as though i have provided the blind and dumb criticism that Roland Barthes once wrote about, but i have not once claimed to be an intellectual nor have i stated that i understand or do not understand anything whatsoever. all i intended to do, which i apparently was not very clear about, was criticize the performance of these poets. i find it sad that presently, to be considered an acclaimed poet (in any nationally or officially recognized manner) one no longer has to include performances on their resume. the only criteria necessary are physical publications. Homer's art of orally composed poetry is slowly dying.

surgere tentamus.
whoa, i was kind of surprised to find this. i was in the glee club for a few years at westridge school (for girls), and this was my choral conductor (mr. stephenson). i despised his tie-dyed peace sign shirts and overt liberal personality, but most of all, i was extremely furious when he switched me from alto to soprano. i moped a lot and struggled with the high notes and then finally left. ironically enough, i'm singin some high notes as a tino sehgal interpreter in "this is propaganda" at the wattis, go figure.....
