This morning, reading back over LJ entries from this day in years past, following links, links from links, I came across this headline: "Can We Save the Tastiest Fish in the Sea?". Now, this is actually on Discovery News, a more or less respectable source for science news (March 4, 2010). Just seeing the headline - "Can We Save the Tastiest Fish in

May I come visit on your birthday? We could celebrate, mourn, or combine the two...

[greygirlbeast]

Actually...I keep forgetting to ask you. So, yes. Please.

Oh, I would've suggested a visit sooner if reality weren't impinging (perhaps pronouced "IMP" "ing" "ing") on me to such a degree--but I miss you and K terribly and, for better or worse, a birthday is an ideal reason to get my butt to Providence.

Hey, we take our opportunities where they come.

So happy to see that Confessions of a Five Chambered Heart is at the top of Subterranean's "to be published in the near future" list!!! I hope they can still make a July release happen as I'm counting down the days until its release. To prep I'm re-reading all of the Digest tales up until "The Wolf Who Cried Girl." I'm also on my 3rd re-read of The Drowning Girl which like all the best albums and works of art reveals much more on repeated experience. I also quite liked the latest Digest story--it gets along very well with the recent Zoo stories!

This all pleases me.

And, also, production on the audiobook for The Drowning Girl: A Memoir is finally complete ... I chose a very good reader.
Excellent. Good audiobooks are worth their weight in gold, especially for commuting to/from work. Especially where the reader simply reads the book rather than trying to perform the book. I think you have mentioned somewhere that this is the approach you were after.

I would say that we've achieved more of a somewhat dramatized reading, as opposed to an actual dramatization. Suzi's great.

Tuna are predators, so if we want to save them, we have to save what they eat, and so on down the food chain. I’d rather see the oceans saved because people value the whole ecosystem, but I’ll be content with saving them because people want to eat tasty, tasty tuna.

Well, it works both ways. Knock out the top predators, the food chain goes haywire. Knock out the bottom, it collapses. At the moment, we're quickly knocking off the top predators (sharks, large "bony" fish or teleosts, sea turtles, and carnivorous marine mammals), and global warming, pollution, and rising oceanic acidity is threatening to take out the foundation.
