Last year I took a BBC sex quiz and found out that the sex ID profile of my brain is completely down the middle. Now, I have no idea if that means my brain is asexual, or if it’s some kind of hermaphrodite—not that I can visualize my gray matter having both a penis and breasts, probably hiding behind the hypothalamus—but I guess at the heart of it, I simply don’t think like a man or like a woman.

I’m little by little working on making my ecological footprint smaller. The average American has a 24-acre footprint, and currently the planet has only 4.5 acres per person. So we’re pretty lousy about taking care of our planet. Right now, my footprint is about 14 acres. Compared to the American average, it’s pretty modest. I eat very little meat.

I haven’t posted all that regularly because I’m not a very happy camper these days. Other than the fact that someone I care about hasn’t been feeling all that well, I myself have been feeling rather friendless and a bit sorry for myself. Not something I feel comfortable discussing online, but you get the idea. Then, today… I saw a Band-Aid commercial on TV this morning.
