Carl Zimmer’s on MySpace!
And he added me as friend! w00t!!! I’m totally pwning these InterWebs and stuff!
The Carl Zimmer, author of many excellent books that I need to read, and author of The Loom science blog, which has covered such fascinating topics as parasitic wasps that mind-control cockroaches and kick-ass Science Tattoos.
Aaaaaand, for the moment, I’m in his top friends!!! And I got the f1rst p0st on his profile! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
Sure, Tom is in the #1 spot, but he’s everybody’s friend on myspace, not discriminating at all. That guy is a slut.
 MySpace is pwned! |
I had to take a snap shot of this for posterity. You know, before people he actually knows start adding him and I get dropped out of the top friends list and eventually lost under the avalanche of people who will inevitably add him, but, for now, I rule.
This is so going on my resume.
hahaha…
I think it’s lame when people keep “Tom” in the #1 slot…

I don’t even have Tom as a friend anymore.

You can remove Tom as a friend??? And the myspace police didn’t come after you?

Any suggestions what I should do with the page? I’m still figuring this stuff out.

Well, I didn’t feel any repercussions of removing him.
Dude, Carl Zimmer’s stalking you now! :)

I checked the link. It was Carl. Funny.
( Let me know when you figure it out. If you put up an article on finding your way I can get exposure. )

Ryan,
Two quick asides related to the Carl Zimmer links in your blog:
If you have not yet read Alexander Petrunkevitch’s short story “The Spider and The Wasp,” I highly recommend it. I have it in a book of essays, so if you can’t find it anywhere I’ll photocopy it and mail it to you. Call me Kristina the Infringer.
I also wrote a short blog about a woman with a science tattoo. I don’t know if you got to read it, but it was a fun write: http://tinyurl.com/2otudc
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: you’re so cool, you’re so cool, you’re so cool.
Carl Zimmer on your website…you’re so cool, you’re so cool, you’re so cool…
Kristina :)
