Anybody ever glitch on something you do ALL THE TIME? Like, my bedside lamp's switch turns on (and off) in one direction (clockwise). It's the same lamp I've had there for six years. Just an hour ago I tried turning the switch the opposite (counterclockwise) just out of the blue.

The fact we're being concerned may be our saving grace. When we stop being worried and think everything is fine stepping outside pants-less wearing our cats like caps is when things get problematic.

Looks like it might be one of the many North American species of wolf spider, although he'd be a little on the small size for that. Incidentally, you have (by total accident, I expect) correctly identified the spider's sex. The enlarged, club-like ends of the pedipalps are the tipoff; only the males have those, which compensate for their lack of a penis.

Poor lil' guy nearly drowned and took a while to recover on that paper towel. Eventually, I just lifted him up and took him outside. We like wolf spiders. We don't like brown recluse, however.

Recluses are usually paler and yellower than that, and have more junk in the trunk. On the other hand, male recluses seem to be a lot more narrow-assed on average than the females, and that coloring isn't totally outside the range of variation. Still, the curvature of the back is more wolf spidery than reclusey. The cephalothorax of a recluse (the part that all the legs attach to) is almost discoid, and although it's hard to tell the true shape from the angle in the photo, I've never seen a recluse with that hunchbacked appearance before.

I can't be the only one getting increasingly concerned about Lemmy C? Just kind of eerie for him to make that post about being alright with his ill health situation and then vanish like that. Anybody heard word on the fellow, lately?

Everybody claims to have a touch of the autism nowadays. What happened to "Type A personalities" or "OCD", or "anal-retentive"? All I'm saying is, it seems like there's a maladoptive behavior de jour for every generation.

All I'm saying is, it seems like there's a maladoptive behavior de jour for every generation. So very fncking true. You have to have a certain number of symptoms spread across several categories to really qualify for an ASD diagnosis. But thousands of MDs and other people who should damn well know better just shoot from the hip...

Have you ever heard a song that was originally an instrumental, then someone else wrote lyrics it? Is it just me or does the lyrical version always seem subpar compared to the original?

Exactly. The sad part is that Sarah Vaughn does a great job on the vocals, but the lyrics are so damn stupid.

Do they simply not understand the horror genre in Thailand? I've never seen a decent horror film from there.

What happened to "pocket-sized" paperback books? The cheap books I grew up with were almost always a uniform 7"x4". I almost never see those in places like Books-a-Million or Barnes & Noble. How come?

How come? The only places I see those anymore are at grocery stores, believe it or not-- although even there, the format has changed a little bit. (They're usually more like 7.5"x4", or maybe even 8"x4", nowadays.) I think there are two phenomena at work here. One, normal people under 45 have e-readers and iPods; they don't read actual, physical books anymore, so there's no longer really any such thing as a "mass market" for mass-market paperbacks. And two, profit margins on trade paperbacks are higher than they are on either hardcovers (because they cost less to produce) or the old style mass-market softcovers (because people will pay more for them, even though they aren't that much more expensive to make), so it's to the advantage of publishers and booksellers alike to focus on the former when catering to the weird nerds who still want paper and ink.
