you can't call yourself a bookworm until every time you go to check out some books, at least 3 different librarians make fun of you for how many books you're borrowing.
every. single. time.

yay bats! they're my favorite animal! i'd build a bat box if i didn't live in an apartment. i don't think they'd like it much. i just have to settle for sending money to bat conservation international. 
i really came here to tell you how awesome your owl hat is. if i had one of those, i'd wear it every day. everywhere. even funerals.
ESPECIALLY funerals.

okay, so one of my cats, kiska, has these catnip-stuffed fabric mice she plays with. sometimes she'll bring them to me, and announce her "catch" when she comes up to me, with a very distinctive meow. well, she did this last night to me around 3 am, and i was groping around in the dark to find it and throw it for her. i grabbed...

It's been a while, but a long time ago my dad and I built a couple of bat houses.
I don't think it would be that hard, actually. The most important points would be using rough-sawn lumber and making sure the spacing was proper. I can imagine it being a bit of a challenge with the spacing if you don't alrealy know exactly how thick your boards are, and they can vary quite a lot. Too much space and I think it's not snug enough for them, too little and they can't really use it.
If you've got a drill I bet you can put one together for less than $60.

I know zip about bat houses, but I think pesticide-free wood would be essential.
Not that you (of all people) need telling, of course.
I'm sort of thinking that a shallow taper would work OK, at least for the first try.

Hi pygmy - havnt said hi in a while.
from here on out, whenever you want to classify anything as "seminal," replace that with the word "ovarian"... or better yet, if you're truly enlightened about gender and want to be completely neutral, "gametey"
finnegan's wake was a truly gametey book
it'll catch on, i swear it.

Congratulations on the move-in! And the rocket stove is pretty damn impressive.
How have you been doing lately? November has indeed come absurdly quickly, but I hope it's found you at peace.

Nah, no worries, I picked up the tone of it. And of course, it's just the nature of an anthology film like this that everybody will like or respond to certain segments more than others. Although I will say that I do like Vincenzo's vampire segment; it's probably the one that changed the most from conception to execution, but I like the idea in the end of doing it as kind of a silent horror pastiche, including cheesy iris-in and outs.
I have to say I'm quite happy with the movie, especially for it being my first. It changed a lot from when I started on it, because of the long timeline for production, structure changes and the shifts in director slots, but what I like about the end product is what grabbed me about the project from the beginning - the diversity of viewpoints on the city and the contrasting takes on various types of love/relationships.
