* For those of you who, like me, are inclined toward all things dystopian, here's a quiz: "Which Dystopian Future Is Right for You?"
* And this: "The Nine Greatest Dystopian Music Videos."
* Speaking of the dystopian tradition, I will be giving another guest lecture this weekend at an Institute for Humane Studies seminar at Wake Forest University. Once again I'll be talking about the trend of dystopian thought in current young adult fiction. My next post will be for this presentation.
* It's that time of year again. Our butterfly bush has butterflies!
* Happy birthday to two terrific gentlemen,
arymetore and caster121. May you have a fantastic day and many more! Happy birthday also to a great lady, syrcleoftrees, with best wishes for today and always!
Happy birthday also to the wonderfulagentxpndble, a super lady and the webmistress of two great websites:
Have a most excellent day, my friend!

No fireflies though, not since I got rid of the old aboveground pool.
Yours knock mine into the shade, anyway. Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and even the occasional Painted Lady. But Swallowtails????
I feel very doeprived...
That's one of the varieties I saw in abundance on my drive South through Virginia.
I looked at the dystopian music videos to see if I knew any of them. Tegan and Sara is one of my favorite musical acts (I mean... that's Tegan in my icon thingy). Interesting that that video made this list.
I visited Chippokes Plantation in Surry Co., VA a few weeks ago and they had a garden literally covered in butterflies. Good thing my camera has a micro-setting so I could get some close up snapshots.
