bodldopsSo, I decided, in one of my few rare moments of sanity, that I really don't need to do NaMo this year. There's no way I'd have the time.
So what did I do during Bacteriology when the prof was practically reading off the notes she gave us?
Wrote a few hundred words for NaMo.
*facepalm*
At least I'll be able to get rid of that annoying OC that thinks she's a futuristic EMT person?
*more facepalming*
For the record: Lepto under blacklight microscopy is cool. Much cooler than a Gram stain. Of course, just about everything is cooler than a Gram stain, so...
One of the senior students died last weekend, in a motorcycle accident a few miles west of here. After hearing everyone talk about him, I'm sad I didn't get a chance to meet him.
Bacteriology prof (not the one reading off the notes - the one that does dramatic readings of ancient poems about anthrax) just walked by with his dog. Adooooooooorable doggy, yes.
The undergrad who showed interest in Diego has withdrawn her claim on him, which means he's still looking for a home to go into come June. Who doesn't want a cute black fluffy nutter?
*makes flaily motions* My brain actively rebels at the thought of studying for another huge test, and yet? Two tests next week. One's bacteriology, so I just need to re-write my notes, but the other is General Pathology and ZOMG so much information. So much dry, boring information. Path floor=cool, path lecture=brain melting out ears from boredom. Path lab, luckily, = cool, because I've got another one of those in fifteen minutes.
Okay, the tiny dachund puppy that's running up and down the hall wins at the cute. Totally.
I actually, after six cumulative years living in Davis, have gotten a library card for the local non-campus library. I had to fight the evil library nazi (Iiiiiiiii... need proof of address! *disappointed look when it is produced* AND YOUR STUDENT ID CARD! BWAHAHAHAHboo you have that too. No really. She was like that. Except she didn't cackle out loud. Because librarian, duh. But there was suspicious eying of my Student ID, because it looks a little different than the standard (what with the VET MED) on it and all, and sulky telling me that I have to read one book before the other because it is on hold, and suspicious demands to know if I got that book off the shelves (no lady, I took it off the hold shelves and sneakily brought it up here where you have computers what track these things) and general anti-new-person-ness) but I emerged victorious with a day-glo yellow library card, a book on dog training, and... um...
Harry Potter and the Sourcerer's Stone
Have since picked up Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix, which I know is out of order but they are missing years three and four, must track them down later.
...
Must not app Hagrid. Because no. But dude, a good Hagrid would rock my everloving socks.
Am thinking of apping a new pup, though. Not an evil one, but Viv, I do have an evil one in the wings I just need the courage to dump inna bar, because he is such an evil bastard I'm kinda scared I'm going to ruin him, and make him nice or something. *squeaks*
This weekend. I promise. I'll charge up the evil bastard vibes this weekend. Maybe I'll use the library nazi as source material.
Also also?
The gun scene with Gwen and Jack still rules. Playing it over and over and over... I especially like the look on his face when she's managing to fire more than one shot at a go. Hee. Also when he demos a few guns. Whoo.
Okay, peoples on flist whom I have slowtimed threads with - tell me you want to pick them up? My browser keeps going kaboom, and I lose all my links, and my brain is beyond leaky at this point, so if I've dropped one, it's because I lose and I forgot, not because I'm ignoring you. Really. Also, LJ had better behave better than it did last night, because I was just about ready to chuck the computer out the window.
*doodles about*
I am still mad at SciFi for deleting the best scene from last week's DW episode. What the heck, SciFi? It's not like it was overly graphic or anything, everything was implication. Just... really really really freaky and hide-under-the-bed-worthy implication. Grr argh. Best moment of DW since it started back up and they TOOK IT OUT.
la.
I should go shuffle off to Path lab now.

Date: 2006-11-01 10:27 pm (UTC)Re: Lepto under blacklight - So, what does it look like? I've not seen anything other than Gram stain so I'm much intersted in anything cooler than that.
Best of luck getting a doggie. Weiner doggies are much cute, yes, they are.
So sorry about the two Tests from Hell. I remember Clinical Lab Techniques in vet tech. Lecture made the brain fry, lab was Much Kewl.
Am jealous you've seen Torchwood. My computer is pfft so I can't download and watch it. >:p
What was last week's DW? I can fill you in on the last scene, if you don't already know what it is.

Date: 2006-11-01 10:44 pm (UTC)SciFi's deleting scenes to shove in extra commercials annoys me mightily, yes.
Re: books: Have you read anything of the Crossroads trilogy by Nick O'Donohoe? Short version: veterinary medicine students on a rotation in a fantastical world; patients include unicorns and griffins, among others.
It is, of course, more complex than that.

Date: 2006-11-01 11:14 pm (UTC)Re doggie: I have a dog - I'm walking one of the UCD colony dogs until he's done for the year, at which point someone will adopt him. I'm dearly hoping it's a vet student, so I can keep seeing him.
Tests from hell are... hellish. yes.
Last week's DW was... the first of 10's Cybermen eps, can't remember the name. I dled them quite a while ago, but I like watching them on TV because the resolution is better and the sound doesn't randomly skip off and not play nice with the visual. But. They cut the best scene. With the music and the screaming. WTF, SciFi.

Date: 2006-11-02 10:31 pm (UTC)They cut the scene with 'Lion Sleeps Tonight'? That's stoopid. And snerk-ily ironic, considering how violent things are here in the States and that games like Grand Theft Auto are popular. Let's sanitize TV and take out the part that shows just how nasty and cruel the whole thing is. x.x
Going back to the music for a minute, the version they use on DW is the same one I'd downloaded a few weeks prior when searching for REM's cover of 'Lion Sleeps Tonight' on E-Donkey. I know REM did a cover b/c I saw their name listed next to the song title when I was listening to an internet radio station. Never did find their cover but found a cover I really liked. And then DW used it over the screaming scene. O.o Not really where you want to hear a song you like, know what I mean? heh
