Motivated by CAE's post about Facebook games, I signed in for the first time since I created the account in like, March. I have an account with my real name and one with my pseud, but I'm not completely happy using either one. I'd like to just tell my real name to other bloggers who are interested in interacting with me, but I'm not ready for my real life and blog worlds to collide (only EGM and BFF know about my blog; and of course I can use my real-name account with real life people). Also, I just don't really get Facebook. Anyway, I discovered there is a science bloggers group! I scrolled through the members wondering if I read any of them through a pseud (aside from a few I recognized who blog under their real names) and I joined. I'm Eco Geofemme if you want to friend me to play games or whatever (or see my picture), although I'm not sure how to do that yet. Even though I've never played Scrabulous, I will add my opinion that Hasbro was stupid to shut it down.
In other news, we seem to have an ant infestation. They are coming in through a wall nowhere near the kitchen, and we're on the third floor so they must be all through the building. Interestingly, they are tiny black ones not the giant ones you normally see eating wood and such. I'll call the landlord tomorrow. Yuck.

Yay! I only recently started having blog and real world collide due to planning my first blogger meet up at a conference next month. Looking forward to the games=)
Ants = eew I can't deal with them...
I've had a couple of real life friends ask me who these other people are on my friends list, so I just say that I know them from online and yes, I'm a geek! Mind you a lot of my friends know about my blogs anyway.
So... are you up for a game of Risk?
Interesting about Facebook. I'm definitely not ready to have my worlds collide.
re: ants, my advice is windex. kind of fun to shoot the little suckers and watch them drown.
more importantly, the ammonia helps break up their trail of pheromones and that helps stop the onslaught.
sometimes this is enough to deter them completely, but it depends on what they're after. we put everything (and i mean everything) in ziplock bags or tupperwares. no temptation, no ants.
that includes, much to my chagrin, laundry.
but hey, no ants in a long time (knock on wood).
I am going to grad school this fall. There is school that I can go to and it's mediocre, but its in-state (if I'm going to be going to classes in person it has to be in-state as I have a mortgage and have to work full time at a local job).
That being said, I can attend a more prestigious university but I can only take classes online (the whole degree would be online as the school is 1,000 miles away) because of my situation. What should I do? Opinions? I know that I will get a better experience going in person and that it would be more fun, but, that being said, is it worth the sacrifice in prestige? There are no prestigious universities that I can attend locally for my area.
Thanks,
Kris
I added the Risk application! Since I'm guessing a game takes a long time, I probably shouldn't start one right now because I'm going away for a week starting Sunday.
I am bad at checking my Facebook account too (was practically forced to open one earlier this year). I think its mainly because I like blogging better :)
We too had tiny black ants earlier this year; I think they like to come inside when it rains a lot. We sprayed the house outside, and put up some ant traps, and they disappeared. Hope yours are gone soon too!
Well, feel free to look me up under my real name... I'm definitely the only one on there! :)
