THIRD TIME IS A CHARM WITH FLIPSTER!
It is AKA Ebscohost. Perhaps my difficulty with getting in had to do with the lateness of the hour. Therefore I am getting tea now to help with my consciousness level.
I have been looking into some of the magazines, such as National Geographic. The most recent volume's cover says GLASS AGE on it.
It had a pretty photograph of a praying mantis and a toad in it. Today I saw there was another word for the insect - they are also called mantids! It was in my Chinese book.
Did you know I think my initial interest in snakes came from an interest in trying to find the simplest form to fold in origami?
I do not think that it might be very simple any more, having read a little bit of how they are actually composed. Also, I do not recall where my Japanese studies exactly left off. It might even be somewhere before where they started.
YIKES - I'd better get off it now since it's late and I'm reading about sleep disorders now in my email, so GOODNIGHT LIVEJOURNAL! Beforehand I was looking into the interesting stuff on Wikipedia but that's an easy rabbit hole to fall into - AND EDITING GAH - no LATER
