Ok. For real new plan now. I think it would fit into my current academic timeline better, and I love studying birds… Ornithology. I found some potential supervisors from a couple schools in Canada, so now I need to start bugging them. Wouldn’t it be awesome to study birds in Newfoundland??!
We had some in-depth horse talk today at lunch. Reminisced about the dressage I used to do, teaching my horse how to jump, the Triple Crown and the Breeder’s Cup… it’s times like these where I miss the horse world desperately and want to start riding again. It would be cool to travel out west and spend some time on my aunt’s horse farm. Oh memories…
It’s been it’s been 8 months since Beau’s had contact with his ex and she’s still on his case and causing problems. She’s sure got some issues because I would stop harassing people after maybe a month of no response from the other party. I wonder how the current girlfriend is supposed to react to all this?
So I whisked a rat off to safety recently. I felt bad about having to get rid of the rats following behavioural experiments, so I brought Number 1 (Mr. Munchies) home. He’s loving life now; kicking up saw dust like it’s his job, bugging the dog, eating gourmet food.
I tell my mom about it and what does she say…. “You should release him in the woods.” “Ok, mom. The rat’s been raised in captivity and is albino and almost blind. I think he’s got a pretty good thing going for him right now.”
“I don’t know what’s expected of me?” Seriously, that’s what you’re going with. If that phrase comes out of your mouth in any situation in your life, rest assured you’re falling short. A question like that leaves your partner feeling like the plague, alone in the dark.
Don’t wear anything to work that has the least bit of cleavage… science guys don’t get to see much of anything, you will not get looked in the eye for the entire day.
No matter how much I hate being a stereotypical girl, when I see awesome shoes like this…. I WANT THEM!!!

Of course I had read Roald Dahl’s children books when I was younger (BFG was one of my personal favourites), but I would not have believed that he could write adult literature as well. Retrospectively, it makes complete sense giving the dark and complex themes in some of his youthful work. His short stories are gripping and always carry a twist, some twists more intense or grotesque than others. As a rule I try to avoid short stories, but these I would recommend to anyone. They are quick reads if you have a busy schedule, and they make you truly think about life. Roald Dahl, once again, is a favourite.
I’ve got my co-workers playing Tetris and singing the “I got a pickle” song from Little Rascals… pat on the back for me.
