excerpt from some online article:
"A student named David Merrill devised an experiment to discover how music would affect the ability of mice to learn new things. Merrill had one group of mice listen to classical music 24 hours a day and another to heavy metal music. He then timed the mice as they ran through mazes to see if the music affected their speed of learning. Unfortunately, he had to cut the first experiment short because the heavy metal mice all killed one another."

Freaking bunny. He jumped out of my arms last night while Derek and I were out walking and he hurt himself pretty bad. I was really sure he'd broken his back leg, but i left work today to go get him checked out and x-rayed and he's popped his hip out of joint. and because he's a rabbit, it can't just be popped back into place, he actually needs some costly surgery to pin it in place or remove the end of his femur so that his bone can heal back in place. This is all going to be way up there in the upper hundreds. I'm already at like...$250. I'm patiently waiting to find out the if / how much for surgery.
This or he's going to be a 3 legged cripple bun for the rest of his life.
Damn it, bunny.
I brought him to work with me after the vets, he's here with me. He's not really in much pain, he seems his normal self, he just has difficulty running and can't use his leg at all.
Poor Charsley.

- I have about 20 minutes left to my lunch.
-I got back from my trip to Vancouver late Saturday, it was nice, kind of busy. less of a vacation and more of a trip with a purpose. It was a nice visit though and a nice break.
-thanks to Derek insisting on filling the tank every half/quarter used, and the gas stations taking a pre authorized $100 every time, my card is maxed until they give be back my money. i think. no bus pass for me.
-i have tons of organizing and unpacking to do. it's like i've accoplished nothing. I am honestly sick to death of it. It doesn't end.
-i forgot it was easter yesterday.
-my pets are back, charlie has tranformed into a nice friendly rabbit who doesn't bite or growl and doesn't mind if you pick him up. freaking bonus. Sukie and Chars have adjusted, and now its the hedgehog's turn to adjust, and she's not impressed.
-I'm in the middle of reading Pride and Prejudice. I like it.
-Derek and I are still reading The Amber Spyglass.
-I bought a book about I Ching, tried it twice yesteday, and i've decided it sucks and i'm sticking to science.
-i have a cell phone now. 710-6400.
-i'm not so happy to be back at my job.
-I need hobbies.
-i want to go out and do stuff.

| I NEED A PET CAGE, HELP ME, WILL TRADE OR PAY |
[14 Jan 2008|09:54pm] |
Has anyone out there who i know who lives in calgary who reads this got a spare pet cage lying around that you aren't using that i can have? like a rabbit/guinea-pig cage? i need an indoor pet cage, doesn't have to be all that big, about 2 or three square feet is good, it needs to be bigger than a hamster cage, and preferably the kind with the plastic bottom and the metal wire top, but that isn't necessary really either, because the new pet i'm getting for my birthday isn't going to chew through anything and it isn't very big so it doesn't need very much space, but it would probably be happier if it had bedding, so the bottom should be solid and enclosed (not mesh or grates, she has very tiny feet and she might hurt herself). A spare aquarium would do also, i could even use a cracked aquarium, because the type of pet i'm getting doesn't swim...i don't think...well, mine won't be swimming even if they do.
ps, i am not getting a house hippo.

I NEED A PLACE TO LIVE
So yeah. I need a place to live that is pet friendly as of january 1st. In calgary. And currently i'm really broke and i don't have a job and i have to go back to bc for christmas and to get my pets and bring them back here and i don't know how i'm going to afford that either or where my pets will live if i can't find a place., i'm a little bit stuck at the moment but i'm pretty sure things will get sorted out.. Does anyone within the community know anyone who wants a roomate or a place to stay? I'm looking at maybe a house in Marda Loop, or anywhere really, i'm not going to be too fussy at this point, i'm sort of desperate, but it has to be a pet friendly situation, but no other cats because my cat can't live with other cats. this makes things sort of tricky, and i'm very likely going to need to look into a pet friendly house, but i'm going to need other people to live with me, so if anyone needs a place or has a place to live please contact me.

It's my last day here. I meant to sleep in, since my alarm clock is already packed, but i woke up early. Its probably for the best, i still haven't finished packing my stuff, and i'd rather not pull an all nighter tonight. I'm spending some time with Nicole today, and Derek, and then that's all my goodbyes.
oh. my MP3 player was broken for months and it just started working again...this is convenient.
I'm ready to go. ish. and i'm nervous as hell. and sad. but i'm trying not to think about it too much.

I need to be at the airport at around 3:45 to check in on Wednesday, I have to carry two pets and two suitcases. Does anyone want to come with me on the train to help me carry them? Or...does anyone want to drive me? Because that's a lot to carry.

I have immense difficulty packing. emotional difficulty. it's not something i can do without breaking down and crying now and then. I have MUCH less to sort through than i have in the past, so this is easier, but i can't say its easy. Today i'm much less distractible and avoidant. Now that the hangover from this morning is gone, i'm starting to feel rejuvenated and i'm using this spurt of energy to get this stuff sorted out, like i should have done days ago.
Today i'm playing music to keep my mind off sentiments and attachment and confusion. And i'm taking a stern approach. It's kind of like playing an imaginary game. I pick something up and i say to myself 'so, if there was a fire and i had 5 minutes to grab everything, and the rest would be destroyed, would i grab this?' It helps. I mean, anyone can go on living without any of their things, but i sure would be heartbroken if i lost...say...my puff the magic dragon plush toy and sherbert the sheep.
I am sad though. I'm sad i can't take it all. Its silly the things i don't want to let go of, martini glasses, souvenirs from the liquor store, decorations. Nothing essential, nothing i can't replace. I like to own things. I am capable of living without things, but i can't say i'm not someone who doesn't like to have things. And living off two suitcases is hardly living. it isn't even two suitcases, its a suitcase and a half.
I'm sure whatever doesn't fit in those suitcases can be crammed into a couple of boxes for me to retrieve some day. there's never been a doubt about that. but this isn't how i like to live.

so i was sitting at a bus stop kind of grumbling that its so bloody hot. i mean, i just don't do hot well in the morning, especially when i wake up at someone else's house and eat last night's left over pizza for breakfast. i get this exhausted hot flash feeling, and i'm all cranky and sweaty. anyway, so there was this guy painting a fence nearby. without his shirt. and man. i'm not normally the type to pay close attention to sexy people. but oh my god. so fine. shaggy hair, and this freaking perfect figure and like...the chest. and all...like...painting. all carefully and accurately.
and on the bus ride home. more working men. everywhere. no shirts. on tractors, waving down traffic, building houses.
mmmmmm. men. so hot.
