Helping the 4-legged victims of the earthquake/tsunamis in Japan
Posted by ERV on March 19, 2011 Im not really a ‘charity’ kind of person. I feel I do my part to help society with my time and knowledge, and I quite frankly dont trust most organizations with cash. Even the ones run by us can have problems. There is a way to ‘get me’, though. The charity wanting funds must meet…
Hey, what did you all do today?
Posted by ERV on November 8, 2010 I learned how to file a police report for ‘stalking’, and how to get a victim protection order in the state of Oklahoma. :-/ Yes, I have a real-life, for real stalker. Its something my parents have been worried about since I started this blog. They have actually been pissed at me for agreeing to…
Epigone is glad PZ isnt gone
Posted by ERV on August 25, 2010 Ive gotten some fun nicknames from people on the internet. You all have heard the ‘PZs pitbull’ one. But my favorite nickname EVER I got on the SciBlogs back-channel: ‘PZs epigone‘ It was meant as an insult, but I really like ‘epigone’. I pronounce it ‘eh-pee-go-nay’ in my head, like I pronounce ‘paradigm’ ‘pair-uh-dig-um’ or…
Star-crossed puppies
Posted by ERV on August 10, 2010 The worst part of visiting my parents is driving home. Yes, I will miss Moms cooking/baking. Yes, I will miss having real food (weird how the totally not organic food we get from local farmers is still good). Yes, Focus on the Family and AFA make a long drive longer (today they passive-aggressively ignored the…
Chicks can do stupid sexist things too
Posted by ERV on August 2, 2010 Yes, we are very socially aware at ScienceBlogs. But I just did something very, very stupid, and I feel terrible about it, so Im going to confess on the internet so hopefully other people dont make this same mistake. Remember Giant Schnauzer? About a week ago, Giant Schnauzer and his owner moved into my apartment…

The Great Banff Adventure!
Posted by ERV on March 20, 2010 OMG you guys! I have had such a day (in a good way)! 1– We barely made it out of OKC. Barely. As in, our plane left, and then they shut down Will Rogers Airport for a while, cause our plane had to be de-iced three times to get off the ground. 2– We barely…
Next week Im going to be in Banff, Alberta. Its just a generic resort town, so I dont suppose any of *you* would be there to party, but I was hoping some of you might have visited and know some tips/tricks/things to see/things to avoid. My plans so far: soak in hot springs for a…

Posted by ERV on March 27, 2009 Dangit! The big OK Separation of Church and State event tomorrow has had to be postponed because we are currently in the middle of a freak snowstorm. By freak snowstorm, I mean it is currently 27 degrees, pouring rain that is going to turn into snow overnight… … Yet the high on Sunday is going…
