Home with the Kitty.
She's in the dog's crate with an IV of lactated Ringer's in her leg, and I've got the raw numbers.
Her BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) level is 270. It's supposed to be between fourteen and thirty-six.
So. Yeah. If this works, I'll be amazed. But we're trying, right?
To keep my mind occupied (rather than running around like a rat in a maze), have an icon meme:
1. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
2. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!
The lovely and effulgent fenchurche picked these:
The artwork is from the brilliant and amazing Schlock Mercenary, by the handsome and talented hard-working howardtayler (if he sees this, he'll get the joke). It's one I've been known to use when I'm angry about something.
Sam Merlotte from "True Blood." He's a shapeshifter whose preferred form is a border collie on the show (a regular collie in the books). For awhile he replaced Robert Downey Jr as the guy playing Ben in my head, but then I saw the pic of Robert that I'm using for my default icon and now it's back to him. I use this one when talking about True Blood.
Sam again. I use this one when I'm really frustrated about something. This is more my "angry facepalm" than the other facepalm I have, which is more of a sad one.
A nerdy grammar quote from the movie "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." But it's also apropos when I feel bad about something. Or when the mechanism that allows me to feel is broken and I'm benumbed by something instead. So many uses for one single icon--it multitasks!
Robert Downey Jr taking a polaroid in a weird little Volvo Promo called "The Route V50." You can watch Part One here and Part Two here--and I highly recommend you do. I have yet to show this to anyone at a Con who didn't immediately ask me to stick it on their thumb drive. I use this one when I post pictures.
You've all seen the quote "One by one, the penguins steal my sanity," right? Well, this is me. And therefore I substitute anteaters. Usually the anteaters stealing my sanity are Antubis and Flaubert, whom I have adopted as Muses. On occasion I'll use this one if something doesn't make sense. As a bonus, this one is (very) subtly animated. Watch his eyebrows.
