Was out in the backyard smoking a cigar on this beautiful day. Had the radio on, was really enjoying myself.

Suddenly, the dogs started going NUTS at the back corner of the yard, like there was something under the ground that they wanted to get at.

Since we don't have a lawn it's not like I was worried or bothered by their digging, so I just let them be for a bit.

Suddenly, one of them jumps backwards, and I hear this very, very high pitched squealing. "EEE! EEE! EEE!"

Then... *CRUNCH*

And the squealing stopped immediately.

Maple (the youngest dog, German Shepard / Boxer mix) had caught a vole and promptly...um...disposed of it.

All that was left was a few drops of bright red blood on the dirt.

Lovely.

That's awesome. I watched my dog gruesomely kill a groundhog on two separate occasions. They're not very fast.

Rogue mice chewed into my storage box and through the tupperware that was keeping my late Bianca mousie's food. No wonder I have mice and they're not going for the traps-- I've been providing them with gourmet mousie food.

:frustrated:

Met with my advisor today and scheduled two classes. English 101 on Tuesday night and Math on Saturday morning. She recommended I don't do more than 3 with my work load. So for my humanities class I'm gonna take Women & Films on Thursday night.

That should work out perfectly.

Math on a Saturday morning? Last time I encountered that I woke up screaming and couldn't go back to sleep until I had downed a fifth of Skotch and half a bottle of NyQuil.

English isn't too bad as far as workload goes for essays. At least there's no outside research to do generally.

I hate sleeping so I'm usually up at 6 on weekends anyways. Plus I forgot everything about math so my placement tests put me in Basic Arithmetic so I'm sure it'll be a cake walk.

There sure was for me.

But, I guess, mostly in the higher level English classes.

It's at 8:45. But like I said that isn't early for me. I schedule all my appointments on my days off for like 7 in the morning since I'm already going to be up and I want to get them out of the way.

Isn't it funny how that works? I remember in my pre-college and college days where waking up before Noon would be "early" for me. The older you get, the more you don't want to waste the day. I'm the same way today, but 7-8am is my wake up time on the weekends now.

Yeah, you're probably right. Perhaps the teacher can help by making it relevant, for example:

So, you wake up on the couch, you have an awful hangover. You notice three empty six-pack holders. How many beers were drunk last night? Passed out in the chair across the room is another person, presumably who drank the beer as well. Presuming you both shared the beer equally, how many beers did each of you drink?

Bonus question: what is the likelihood that at least one of you now has a venereal disease?

I'm obsessed with what pens I use at work. I ONLY write with Paper Mate Profile, blue ink. If I don't have one with me, I literally become agitated if I have to use another pen.

Lately I've had a slight case of writer's block. Its a disease that comes and goes without warning. Maybe I need some booze to loosen it.

I used to be really, really into the G2. But picking from what my work orders, I like the Zebra Z-Grip medium point.

Also: blue ink? Really?

Yes, for projects it is required as black ink does not satisfactorily distinguish between an original and a copy and the government requires originals (this typically gets typed, but comments must be in blue ink). Also, blue ink is far more appealing to me anyway.

Oh, if I'm writing on copy I tend to like red or green, but I'll go for blue. If I'm just taking notes, I'll pick black ink every time.
