"Apart from leaving me spent and depressed, [nature] programs remind me that I am rarely, if ever, alone. If there's not an insect killing time on the ceiling, there's surely a mite staring out from the bath towel, or a parasite resting on the banks of my bloodstream. I'm reminded, too, that, however repellent, each of these creatures is fascinating, and worthy of a miniseries."
--David Sedaris, "April & Paris: caught in the web of nature", March 24th issue of the New Yorker
