"Thanks for the positive thoughts on the other ones!  I don't know what's up with the video.  It happened on one other vid too.  Will have to figure something out."

Film Adaptations and The Great Gatsby

I have a rule...if you don't want to be disappointed in an adaptation, see the film before you read the book.  The problem with this rule is that your initial impressions and visualizations of characters and scenarios will be affected by the films visuals.  I had this problem with the Harry Potter books.  Harry's parents were not meant to be as old as they were portrayed in the film but that's the only way I can picture them!  ARg!!!  But at the same time the things I expect and dare hope to…See More

Feeling like kind of a creeper....

So...I joined a few groups a while ago and posted in them per standard meet/greet type.  One of them is the "Lonelyhearts" Nerdfighters.  As I perused this site just now I noticed something...everyone is almost half my age!  Wow...I feel like kind of a creeper for being on there!  I wish you all luck finding your a girlfriend or boyfriend...but I bet that isn't going to be me.

Back to OkCupid.   :)

I'm still more than happy to answer your insect questions…

Bed Bugs and a Blog Update

I just updated my Entomology blog if any of you are interested.  There has been an interesting article published just recently regarding the efficacy of bed bug foggers.  Those of us who actually study entomology have known for a while that those foggers (and all over the counter Bed Bug treatment options) are ineffective.  Now we have peer reviewed data demonstrating this.

So...what's "bugging" you?

Yeah yeah...cheezy, I know.  But I like bugs!  And puns!  And buggy puns!

I was just wondering if any of my fellow Nerdfighters out there would be able to keep an eye out for some cool insects for me?  There are certain ones I absolutely love and just want in my collection because they are cool (Sphinx Moths, Tiger Beetles & Saturniidae Moths and many more!!!) but there are also some other moths that I could use for my graduate research.  They are called sod webworms and are…
