Hello friend <3

I post words and stories and life tales over here: Click me!
I've been trying to post over here more, or post at my Blogger and LJ concurrently, but I always find myself forgetting to update this one.
I still check here daily to read up on my e-buddies and artist-loves though! I may be too lazy to update LJ, but not to read it! And ( Read more... )

And now for a strange story....

I haven't posted much about this here on LJ, but the last week has been a hard one for Ember (my parrot) and I. Ember, being the hoss little toot that he is, chewed up a lead bead and ingested the shards. He got the pieces lodged in his ventriculus and developed a near-fatal case of lead poisoning. Luckily for me, I have the UGA Veterinary Teaching ( Read more... )

Festive felines

I am working at the vet clinic again, which makes me more happy than I can say. However, I am sick and have been up since 3am, so I'm not feeling too incredibly joyful at the moment. I've been making lots of draws during my break. I don't know. I felt that that deserved being mentioned. The draws feel good. Kind of like 4 months of creativity ( Read more... )

I found a thing, and it is interesting to me. Here. Muura had one and it was neat, so I made one too. Uhhhmm it's the eve before my last academic venture of 2009! Megan sent me a text saying that the final tomorrow isn't totally cumulative; just cumulative over the big things. UHHG YES. First one of four that HASN'T required me to know everything ( Read more... )

salamander heads and cytoplasmic inclusions!

I feel dumb using an Ambystomatid larva icon for this entry...I need a Desmog or at least a Plethodontid....

I started my thesis research on Thursday and I'm SO excited! I'm sampling local populations of Desmognathus salamanders for a blood parasite. The bacterial parasite isn't selective by sex and isn't habitat specific-mildly positive ( Read more... )

Lindlar

If you raise the handles on Toot's cage 90 degrees, the whole thing is reminiscent of a cis-alkene...which you obtain by treating an alkyne with hydrogen and a Lindlar's catalyst ( Read more... )

What a beautiful week we've had in Athens. It really feels like autumn here now. I'm a little envious of my northern buddies with their bright autumn tree-colors, but I know our time will come c: After the incredible workload of last week, I'm really loving the mellow pace that this week has. I can't believe it's already Thursday ( Read more... )

Sorrels

An hour ago I was finally in a productive mode, studying for my soils test tomorrow. Then my housemate knocked on my door to alert me that my tomatoes were in danger! We swooped outside and rescued them, plus my St. John's Wort, catnip, and struggling lavender plant which now mysteriously houses wood sorrels as well. Liz is totally awesome, but ( Read more... )

I miss my family :c Mom came to see me yesterday, and it was so so so nice. She was at a nursing convention at the Classic Center downtown, so I rode up to see her after my seed identification lab was done (which was awesome, btw). I swear it's completely uphill from Warnell to downtown. My ass hurts today from that grind! I got to sit in with her ( Read more... )
