Cripes is it ever hot out. Yes, it get's hot in the Yukon. Keep in mind, we have much much longer days than you in the summer (although we're losing 7 minutes of daylight a day), and it just sort of circles around most of the sky.  Really disorienting to see the sun in the northern sky.

But I digress (as usual); it's bloody hot.  I decided to come ( Read more... )

So, I'm thinking of starting up another blog.  Yes I know, another blog Heather? You barely update this one and haven't touched your sewing blog since May.  But I sort of want to do something Yukon and geology based, one that I don't mind a lot of people visiting and poking through. I don't mind the few people here that reads this journal, but this ( Read more... )

It's 11:30 pm, and the sun has JUST passed behind a mountain.  I'm sure it'll be out from behind it in a couple hours.  THE SUN DOESN'T ACTUALLY SET HERE, JUST HIDES BEHIND MOUNTAINS FOR A BIT BEFORE PEEK-A-BOOING OUT AGAIN OMG SO CONFUSED.

It feel's like it's only about 8 pm right now.  *headdesk*

Oh god, I just bought skinny jeans.  Oh god, I just squeezed my ass into skinny jeans.  I'm really sorry everyone.  JUST LOOK AWAY!

Cripes.  *facepalm*

On the bright side, my two new pairs of heels look fucken hot with them!  :D

I'm not entirely certain what to say about this, mostly because I've been taught that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.  I often fail at this, but when it comes to respecting other people's beliefs, I try to stick to it.

But as a scientist and a geologist, I just boggle at this.

Apparently some theobiologist from a fellowship ( Read more... )

You know what's stupid?  Freckles.  You know what's stupider?  Freckles on the knees.

Although I suppose that's my own fault for going out in the sun with skirts and dresses on all summer.

:/

Sitting here, trying to move ( Read more... )

Should've gone somewhere with no internet access...

Happy Velocirapture Everyone!

Here's a note and a handy flowchart, brought to us by the HR department of the Death Star, on how to deal with impending planetary doom. I personally will probably follow either the 'I'm a [wo]man of science' and the 'this is bullshit' route, or the 'panic' --> 'sit in ( Read more... )

This is probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

A look at the fashion and styling of Star Trek: Next Generation: A XXX Parody.
"When we first heard that this was A Thing, we were ever-so-excited. Would it be hilarious? Definitely. Would it be sexy? …probably not. Would everyone be fully functional? YOU BET. So I downloaded it and set to ( Read more... )

My supervisor is not amusing when she:
1) doesn't show up for a scheduled meeting,
2) leaves a sticky note on the door telling me she won't be in today, and
3) doesn't bother emailing me about it.

I probably wouldn't mind so much if I normally work on campus, but the fact that I don't and came in just for this meeting annoys the crap out of me.  ( Read more... )
