Happy Music

Dykes and the City asks me about songs that make me happy. The song that definitely makes me happy these days is Feist's Inside and out . Other feel good tunes: - The Gossip - Standing in the way of control - Katerine - Louxor j'adore - Joan As Policewoman - I defy (with Anthony) Funny: - Lezzies on X - 30 large (Their excellent heavy metal version of The L-word's theme song.) - Gretchen Phillips - The reluctant butch I'm tagging Ysengrin and Sortof . >> I forgot Heidi Mortenson .

The Vagus nerve

Not fiction, but sounds like poetry: "Vagus" means wanderer -- the nerve wanders through the body. Previously, it wasn't thought that it goes as far as the pelvic region. But our research and that of other laboratories is showing that it does in fact go to the cervix and uterus and probably the vagina. It carries the impulses from those regions, travels up through the abdomen, goes through the diaphragm, through the thorax (chest cavity), up the neck outside the spinal cord, and into the brain.
