Short takes on deep thoughts
After a ridiculously busy week, I visit the blogosphere and discover that instead of celebrating April with daffodils and bunny pictures, everyone has good posts filled with deep thoughts.

Undine, what a great idea to point to the many interesting blog postings that I somehow missed this week.
I did catch a few of these great postings, of course (since reading academic blogs has become a true stress releaser for me): Dr. Crazy's posting is fascinating, and should be the start of updated history of the academic blogosphere (I've read a few recent books that focused only on the early years). She also reminds me that many academic bloggers are truly wild workaholics: she writes thoughtful, detailed postings, while buying a house, and doing the usual academic weekly chores. I'm in awe of her.
Thank you for the bunny picture: I recommend a visit to Bardiac (http://bardiac.blogspot.com/2010/04/cash-crop.html) for the daffodil pics!
It's fuzzy!!!!!!!!!1ONE!!!!!!
Bunny!
Thanks for the shout-out.
Awesome training to have the bunny poised over the drain for efficient clean up.
See? Others talk shop, you go bunny, and I'm straight to scatology.
OMG, that is the cutest bunny I've ever seen! I think your post may be the best one of all!
(Thanks for the shout and also thanks for the links -- I'd missed a few of those and it was good to go read them.)
Hope THIS week isn't as busy for you! :)
Thanks, annieem--I'll get over to Bardiac's for my daffodil fix. I've fallen behind on Dr. Crazy's posts but they are always worthwhile.
Sisyphus--yes, so fuzzy! I couldn't resist it, even though I don't have a bunny like this any more.
Historiann, I have nowhere near your level (and the others') level of intelligent content lately, so the least I could do is give a shout-out and a bunny picture.
naptimewriting, I've been in your position (newborn & toddler) and would be AMAZED if you hadn't gone straight to the bunny/drain/scatology idea!
Ink, thanks--it was just as busy, but the bunny picture made it better.
