Good heavens. I almost posted a pro-animal-testing comment to an anti-animal-testing thread. Whew... close call! If I'd actually hit "submit" instead of closing the page, I'd be a blackened lump of charcoal by now. A narrow escape.
I don't like cruelty to animals. I hate causing pain to living things (excepting only mosquitos and rats... I'm happy to make them suffer). No, really. Nor do...

We found a few bunches of really nice flowers in June when we were backpacking along the Strait this year - I wish I had them digitally.

I think I need to do some scanning at work before I'm done my job. So many photos that need to be digitally captured.

I'll likely post some of them - but only the ones that I feel are 'good enough' 
According to the D&D Personality Test I am a Lawful Good Dwarf Paladin. Except that I'm kinda tall for a dwarf. I do have a beard, though.

"True Neutral Half-Orc Druid Thief" huh. who would have thunk?
I bought some chapstick the other day. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying close attention to my choice, and accidentally bought strawberry-flavoured (and strawberry-scented) chapstick.
Now, everywhere I go, everything smells like strawberries.

Slave to the Beep
I get a lot of email. Some of it is important. But really... is it that important? Am I that important?
I am a slave to the beep. My email program beeps... I drop what I'm doing and rush to check the mail. Mostly it's not important. Once in a while, it's something I need to deal with quickly. But not...

I'm kind of happy I'll be home on weekends so the email doesn't get out of control...but during the week it will definitely be a nice change.

My field work:
Location: Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area
Focus of research: Nestling ecology of the threatened sprague's pipit (a grassland passerine) - particularly related to parental care, diet, and food abundance in native and anthropogenic habitats.
Is it somewhere cool? I think so.

Sorry it has taken me so long, but thank you very much for your compliments on my newest set! 
Interesting picture! I think I'll pretend to forget about thinking up an explaination for that

Right now one of the wonderful ones is in the same boat as me. At least her and I can commiserate.
All my jokes are falling flat on their faces these days. I really should just give up this "trying to be funny" thing. Clearly somebody else got all the "funny" genes. Alas.

I so want to move to Victoria. Maybe when I'm done my masters I'll conveniently look into doing my PhD there...

so when are you planning a trip to san francisco?
are there any good books you've read lately that you can recommend? i'm reading George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London right now and am enjoying it more than either 1984 or Animal Farm!!

happy birthday 
I will never forgive myself for not being in a better financial position when I went to Scotland. I got the plane ticket as a gift, but had to pay for everything else with plasic. I'm still technically paying off the drunks I had there, five years later.
