Super-quick update list

• Chinese New Year: Full of awesome! I crashed overnight at the Trout-and-lemur pond, and thus also got leftovers. ♥ After everybody else left, we discovered we are not as old as we feared: We stayed up till 2 am talking. ...and woke up at 8 the next morning. Ugh. Maybe we are old.
  
• Nightmares: I had lots of 'em last night, including an awful dream about Genrou struggling to survive at a vet clinic. I woke up with Nexus pressed closely to my head purring up a storm, as though she knew I was in kitty distress and needed a cuddly feline close by. I woke up four or five more times during the night from the same serialized dream about a group of people fighting against a Cthulu-esque evil plant alien thingy. It was awful, and I hated dropping back into the same dream every time; but at the end of the dream we-the-survivors were armed with RPGs and flamethrowers... so that was kind of cool. Also, somehow in this dream, a member of Blue Man Group asked demonlet for her phone number.
  
• Monday: It's Monday morning, which means I should be at the gym. But I woke up so poorly rested and groggy (and 29 DEGREES OUTSIDE, AUGH) that I stayed home this morning and did some research work instead. I'll hit the gym this afternoon.

Global warming: A genuine problem

You think I'm just an alarmist treehugger, but listen up! As this groundbreaking scientific study shows, global warming would lead to an increase in zombie attacks.

For the love of God, people, cut down on your carbon emissions! I don't want to see the earth fall to the walking dead!
