Avatar is one of my favorite movies!

I went to the tech n9ne concert on tuesday night.. that was lots of fun, and had wednesday off, and I scrubbed a tank clean with my bf and test filled it on the lawn. Now I'm at work again!

I've yet to see avatar, today im just packing etc

Brought home two interestingly spotted GSPs.
They're tiny and stressed, so they'll probably color up normally, but I had a feeling about them, and they came home with me. One has almost no spots, and the other has normal spots but they are surrounded by a very light green. I'm excited to see how they grow and what they'll look like later on.



And, My poor dog got neutered today. RIP Captain's Manhood.
He almost bit the vet too

and who could blame him. Did he get neuticles(http://www.neuticles.com/) put in? It's for the dogs that really enjoy their licking.

Only in America!!!

I thought it was for self esteem? Isn't that what it says?

Seriously though. The dog doesn't care and why do these owners want to see testicles on their dogs. Do they not see theirs enough or something?

The things people pay for...

Heheh. If your dog is really into licking them, I can see not wanting to take that away from him. I don't think it would effect their esteem or behavior unless you wait until they're much older to do it. I didn't think dogs had a sense of self image until my aunt cut the long coat of a dog she had way down because it was hot in the summer. She did a terrible job of it, and the dog KNEW. Previously he was outside 75% of the time, but after having this done, he just hid in the house unless he had to "go" and continued to do so until the hair grew back in normally.

I met with my academic advisor and confessed that I want to go into local, organic, sustainable agriculture and community gardening (I'm a theatre major), while keeping my major and later staying involved with theatre in the community. He was super-excited, checked that I was going to be able to get the training/education I'd need in spite of keeping my major (yep, you can't really study ag in college for practical application anyway), then started printing off information about the theatre of the oppressed and suggesting ways to use theatre to bring about awareness in my future community about the agriculture situation in this country (which is absolutely miserable). That was so nice. He's such a kind, grandfatherly old fellow, and I would have felt awful if he had been disappointed. It's so nice to have professors who genuinely want the best for you and are excited to see you figuring out what you want to do.

And then my mama brought me a food delivery - vegetarian frozen meals, salmon, veggie soup, veggie burgers and whole-wheat buns, soy snacks, and some fancy tea. I've quit eating factory-farmed meat, and it's hard to do that on our campus. But I'm starting the Real Food Challenge on campus next semester - it's a nationwide movement to get local, organic, sustainable, and, above all, ETHICAL food into college and university dining services. Let me tell you, if you care at all about animals, people, the environment, the economy, and yourself, you should find out what conventional, non-sustainable agriculture is doing to our world. Local and organic is the way to go.

lol, no neuticles. He seems to be doing fine and not missing them any, lol.

i bought a veiled chameleon today hes soooo gorgeous! hes 19" long and has a cage thats 5x3x2 ft. came with everything he could possibly need including a 10gal feeding tank with food! all this for $350 which is an AMAZING price. heres a pic, sorry his face is a little cut off... and hes just finishing up shedding, you can see it a little in the pic... better pics to come!

I spent a few hours with a friend's litter of 5 week old american eskimo dog puppies I haven't had a pup since 1996 (he was the best dog ever, and passed away in 2007). All my current "reskies" were adults, and I WANT A PUPPY!!! But alas, my guys all have issues that make a puppy a bad idea. Someday...

After selling $100 worth of corals to a fellow who traveled 50 miles for them, swam 50 laps in the pool, soaked in the jacuzzi & steamroom...




...I met Myaj for dinner!!!

He's gorgeous kilofey and that sounds awesome PP, I love steamrooms ^_^.

I got back from Newcastle today, got 2 injections .. 1 hurt so bad and 1 didn't, I also went to the post office and posted 18 of my ebay things, not much sold it sucks but nevermind I relisted ^_^ & tomorrow I'm getting 2 cherry shrimp in the post, I bought them shrimp food which the ramshorn snails are all over.. no idea what it is.

i came up with a name for my chameleon while at work today (see pic above) i named him "Picasso". cause he looks so artsy and abstract..... ive rambled off a few names to some friends, and picasso seems to be a unanimous favorite... i was on the fence about picasso, hippie, woodstock, or jerry garcia lol... i went with picasso because if im going to spend this kind of money on an animal, im not going to name him something silly lol. anyway, tell me what you think, or if you have any other suggestions please
thanks!

Picasso. I love it.

Today I went to school. Boring. Had to get all snazzed up because we had a basketball game. We lost, but I started. Yippee! Didn't score at all though... Oh well.
