Yep. They had one and got another one, giving them a male and a female. Then despite their efforts to keep the birds from reproducing, the pair had offspring--twice. (Life always finds a way.) So now they're up to 4, which should pretty much qualfiy as a flock at this point.

You've piqued my interest, so I did some searching and there appears to be no numerical definition.

It looks as though it's a behavioral thing. If they gather in a group for safety and food and stuff, they qualify as a flock. I'm thinking they qualify.

Even if they don't, were I you, I'd totally be using the term flock for my own entertainment.

Flock you!

Flock yourself.

That's what I've been doing (any why.)

Close enough

RIP Larry Henley



he also wrote Wind Beneath My Wings

Just finished reading Carmilla, an early vampire novel. It was very similar to the later Dracula, but much lighter and faster to read through. A good tale, although the ending felt rather abrupt.

Now, do I stick with gothic horror and read Frankenstein next, or go for something more otherwordly and resume where I left off in The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft?



Also, in a "duh" moment, it just occurred to me tonight that the ruling family of the vampire counts in Warhammer Fantasy, the von Carsteins, were probably named after the Karstein family from Carmilla. That's not as bad as how long it took me to realize that Imhotekh the Stormlord from Warhammer Fantasy was obviously supposed to be Imhotep from The Mummy, but I still probably should have realized that sooner....

Probably go with Frankenstein, stay in the time period.

The answer is Lovecraft.


Is there a lot of hot Girl/Girl action in Carmilla?



Has anyone read The Monk?

I found it dull. maybe it was more scandalous back in the day.

Well after that glowing review, I will probably skip it.



I should finish Lexicon tonight. Without knowing how the last 50 pages turn out I am pretty pleased by it so far and would recommend it to anyone who likes scifi-ish books with a litte bit of dystopia thrown in.


I will not follow this book with Machine Man also by Max Barry but will fit it in somewhere this spring.



Oh and Lovecraft is the answer.

It's all hinted at rather than described explicitly, which isn't surprising considering when it was written. It's my understanding that most of the movie adaptations are considerably less shy, though.I have not, but I see it's free on iBooks, so I'll check it out.

Free books are one of my favorite things ever.

I suppose that's better than Free Willy being your favorite movie ever.

Late Star Wars Rebels commentary.

I watched the Lando episode last night. it was pretty cool. The Lando parts anyway.




Why do all species want to nail Twi'lek chicks?

I liked it, quite a bit actually. I was pretty sure I knew where the end was going but still enjoyed it.
