no one has commented on my cute capybara icon :(

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I am still packing stuff. Books, yarn, books, yarn. Got some kitchen stuff packed, and a couple boxes of knick-knacks as well. Let me see, 74 cardboard boxes, 9 plastic storage tubs, 4 bookcases, and a couple of particle-board storage shelf thingies in the storage unit so far. Why is it that I *still* can't see the surface of the coffee table, the hall table, the kitchen island, or this desk?

More clippings that I'm trying to clear up, such as the various science-related web sites from Science journal:

Science, 9 January 2004
http://www.sarsreference.com More than you wanted to know about SARS
Ecology education ideas for high school and college teachers: http://www.ecoed.net
http://www.theacsi.org American Customer Satisfaction Index, includes ratings of web sites

Science, 30 July 2004
Multicultural math http://www.ethnomath.org
http://www.genome.gov/LegislativeDatabase federal and state laws about DNA patenting
Map of natural disasters http://www.hazardmaps.gov

Hmmm, a Science News article about the genome project, specifically about the hedgehog tenrec: is it, or isn't it, related to the hedgehog?

from ??? a magazine page that doesn't include the magazine's name, issue date, or even page numbers:
Find out about how to calculate your personal impact on climate change and about sustaining urban forests at http://www.americanforests.org
keep up with the Mars rovers at http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html
http://www.unc.edu/depts/nccsi National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research
NOAA has a web cam at the north pole: http://www.arctic.noaa.gove/gallery_np.html

There, that gets a few more loose pages off the desk...

Does mentioning eye color really have anything to do with point of view? So if a woman writes from a man's point of view and mentions the character's eye color, the attempt was completely unsuccessful? Maybe I'm confused: Are you talking about narrative voice or Weltanschauung?

But at any rate, I don't remember ever reading a story where eye color was involved. Then again, I don't read mass market mysteries/romance/etc books.
