Habitual Hatred

By Laurie

So, lately, I’m reading Pinker’s new book on human nature and the human mind, The Blank Slate, and of course this gets me into Thinky Mode.

Layer Cake

By Laurie

No, not the movie.
It’s 5:45 am, and I can’t sleep. I woke up for whatever reason over an hour ago, and have been tossing since. Sucks.
*stops to apply chapstick, much better*
Maybe it was all the coffee I drank yesterday. So, like always when I can’t sleep, I got to thinking….which leads to […]
