ACVP and Ames, Iowa
So...I've been absent, I know. The last few months I've been studying to take that last damned section of that last damned exam. Only this time, I took time off work (well, worked part time), to study. And now I'm on my way back to Seattle from Ames. I was pretty sure the email was already in my inbox, so I was deliberately not looking until I was ( Read more... ) -
dream with critters
I had another of those buzzy-brain dreams, where I wake still half in dreamland (and had to take the eyas to school, and was late leaving, I hate daylight savings time so much ( Read more... ) -

So I've been slow to post. I got my scores back. I didn't pass. I was *close* though, and I think I'm going to try again; I only get one more attempt (before I'd have to submit a study plan to the exam board and take all 4 sections over, and that shit is not happening ( Read more... ) -
Tomorrow
Pre-dawn early I jump on a plane for Ames, IA, and take the vet path section of the path board exam. Paws crossed...I'm better prepared for it than last time, but not as well prepared as I'd like. Having moments of panic, and I'm really not a test-anxiety prone sort in general. Either way, it'll be over soon and I get to have my life back. Which ( Read more... ) -

People do things that make sense to them. If you want somebody to stop being a jerk, they probably won't if you just tell them to stop being a jerk. You need first to figure out what paradigm they're working from, dissect it, and then reconstruct it so that being a jerk no longer makes sense.
From something I read, and have been contemplating. -
The Seal skin, the Story, and the Sky
Just ran across the lyrics to this song, and I dearly would like to hear it sung. I'll probably cry; it's all true. I've been that selkie, more than once. I'm not going to say it's just as hard to be on the leaving side, I've been on both, and while neither is easy...well I at least have the ocean/river calling me when I go, and not just an empty ( Read more... ) -
little brown bats hanging on by their tiny toenails
This article describes finding little brown bats in areas where we thought they'd all (or pretty much all) died out. The assumption is that these may represent populations of resistant bats, which would be great news, especially if there's enough of them to effectively repopulate (though bats don't reproduce all that fast; being a flighted mammal ( Read more... ) -
Lost Dr Who episodes recovered from space?
Really? I have no idea whether this is real, credible, or even possible, but I have *hope*.
W dohat you think, lj? I'm at work, reading stuff surreptitiously from my phone, and so not in a position to fact-check.

Got to work this morning, and was just getting surgeries checked in and calculating drug doses, when I got an email alert about a shooting on VT campus. Several hours later, I find out that an officer was killed, and then the shooter is presumed to have shot himself. No explanation. This sucks. It could never be a good thing, but with the recent ( Read more... ) -

It is possible that Peregrine will no longer allow me add Satan's Blood to the guacamole without direct supervision in the future. It makes my mouth burn, but it is so tasty I can't stop eating it.
