Michael: Hey, send me that link to the monkey sex video. I'm going to forward it like it's hot.

Links and a bit of shameless self-promotion. Hey, someone has to do it.

• I recently self-published a new poetry & photography book called Squirrel Sonnets & other Rodent Rhymes. Yes, there are actual sonnets and no, all of the other poems do not necessarily rhyme. Click on the link to see a preview and/or order a copy. I also have copies on hand in case anyone wants one signed.
  

• The few photos I took at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con are now posted on flickr. If you are a fan of Battlestar Galactica, you may even find a few of them interesting. Especially if you like Apollo.
  

• One of my dogs, Little Guy, commented on the L.A. Times' database of the names of registered dogs in the county. He also compares himself to a Brady kid. It's not the first time.
  

• I'll pimp this again next week, but if you want to check out a cool art show on opening night, i am 8-bit is having an extravaganza on the 14th. My husband, E, has put together a really cool video installation that should be featured prominently in the gallery.

This last one has nothing to do with me, except that it has two things I like:

• If you, like me, love Ben Folds and hamsters, check out this video for the song "Carrying Cathy." It's not new, but I just saw it again tonight and enjoyed it very much. Hamsters. Ben Folds. Yes!
