Stripes = Sergeant. Or in different terms, a 300 dollar pay raise.

Is there a way to express that even though I'm anti-military, I'm proud of you? XD Plus I'm happy Cracker von Patriarch is going and your brother is there.

Munching sunflower seeds on my "lunch" (4 a.m.) break, watching the pup sleep curled up on my bedroom slippers and getting ready to go back to work.
Oh well. Two out of 3 ain't bad.

Ants that explode when threatened, a fish that can become a liquid and disassemble itself, and more.

Two things today. My boss was in a good mood, so I did not get written up despite the fact that I as I said in the Rand thread, I did not have a good shift last night and I didn't make productivity requirements, either. (Turns out there were problems with the phone lines, yada yada, so she told me just to take PL, and try to make it up later). Nice.
Second, I finally got up the nerve to post a pic on here, then deleted it. Of course. (Wouldn't post one anyway because of privacy reasons and because for some reason, pics tend to disappear off here and also because I have a tendency to shoot myself in the foot, so I thought, "Why give people something they can use for target practice?" Like my kid says, I have all the social graces of a Sherman tank). However, posting the pic was nice while it lasted, because I finally got a good look at myself for the first time since I was about 10, and hey, my brother was wrong. I'm not that ugly. Granted, he was right about my making a better looking guy. (I think I can see why the Army mistook me for a guy and made a combat medic out of me, and still to this day positively insists I'm a guy). However, I've always avoided being photographed, etc., because I was absolutely convinced I was scary ugly. (I don't even have mirrors in my house because my white relatives always told me I look too Cherokee to be pretty by white standards, and my Cherokee relatives tell me I look too white to be pretty by Cherokee standards. So I keep a tiny little mirror on the fridge and that's about the size of it). However, I got a good look at the pics before deleting them and discovered that my brother was wrong, as I said. I don't look like the evil emperor from Star Wars, and I'm not scary ugly and I don't think my mug would even break a camera lens, much less a mirror. I do look like a 14-year-old boy, however, so I can see why folks on this site thought that I was. But finding out that I'm not THAT bad looking is kind of a nice ego boost.

Today I went to London, to do a one day basic taxidermy workshop.
The subjects were hamsters. Mine is a bit of an obese one, Dark brown, white and ginger. Sort of a tortoishell hamster.
I've posed him in the style of Sprinter Usain Bolt seeing as the olympics are on . Since its my first go it; not the most professional looking thing in the world, but he works and I'm quite pleased with him.
We used the simple method of taxidermy. Basically skin the animal, remove any and all fleshy and fatty bits from the skin, make the body out of wire and cotton wadding, rub the skin both sides liberally with Borax, fit the wadding body inside, wires to go in the arms and legs so you can pose it, sew up and add eyes, superglue mouth shut.

Also, the room in which we did the workshop, situated in St Barts Pathology museum, was AMAZING. It's a very tall room, with walkways on 2 levels round the walls. Every single shel is crammed with preserved/pickled body parts. Mostly human, some animal.
Pretty much ANY organ or piece of the human body, that could become diseased or deformed, was there. Somestuff I have no idea what the fuck it was or where in the body it is meant to fit.
There were whole severed feet , brains, lungs, livers, bones, skulls, foetus' tapeworms and hookworms, a walrus jaw ( FUCKING NEED IT ) Entire skeletons, one of which was that of a small deformed child about 2.5 feet high with a massive alien cranium.
Seriously one of THE coolest rooms I have ever been in.

I can do a pic of my hamster, but sadly it's actually against the law to take photos of the museum specimens. Not sure why that is, can't be because of light damage ( I think this is the case with some museum specimens and old paintings ect ) , the whole room has a big glass ceiling O.o
I also found it a bit odd that apart from the whole skeletons and few other pieces, pretty much every single jarred thing in there, and a whole shelf full of skulls, could technically be picked up and looked at since they were not behind any sort of glass or barring. Just sat on a shelf.
No joke if no one had been in there I could have stuffed a number of small foetus and lungs in jars in my pockets, popped a skull in my bra and just walked out. The lack of security is astounding. But I'm an honest woman so I didn't. Good job my brother wasn't there that's all I can say, they'd have lost half their stuff.
But since we couldn't even take photos I figured they'd probably be annoyed if I started manhandling 600 year old german and 1000 year old roman skulls.
I did give the stone roman sarcophagus halfway up the stairs a bit of a rub though ^___^

That is a little weird about the displays :/ But I can understand to an extent. It could be they don't want stuff from the lab to be made into meme on the web. The hamster looks great though. The Usain pose will have me in giggling fits for the rest of the day.

Returning home from a wonderful weekend in Copenhagen
Fact: The capital of Denmark is named Copenhagen, or København in Danish. København actually means something along the lines of buying harbour.

My life is currently at a pause, I have absolutely nothing to do all day but to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide and be food for mosquitoes.
What made my day is that I have to send an email tomorrow. The only reason why I did not send it today is that I want to have something to wake up to.
YAY boredom!

Found out the next Taxidermy workshop is in early September, the subject will be guinea pigs.
I seriously hope it's not the first weekend because I'll be camping then

A weekend of awesomeness ahead with visiting friends, and getting aanother article pitch accepted.
Also, realising I'd forgotten that series 5 of Breaking Bad started 3 weeks ago. That shit rocks my socks.

This is why you returned to gnet then? Has it fought off some of your boredom?
If you seriously need something to do, start watching The Simpsons from season 1(or season 23 and going backwards. It is weird but fun ) Or Dharma & Greg.
The IT Crowd is great but will only entertain you for a day or two.
Charmed is always a possibility if you can cope with the drama overload.
Or you could start playing some awesome games
