Because she asked :-)




Five weeks ago, the baby mammal room was empty. This week was the first time I finished the 8am feed just in time to start the noon feed.


And because I'm already here:

TECHNOLOGY
Q. What is your wallpaper on your computer?

This. Vash and Wolfwood via Toshimi Nigoshi. No, I don't change it often!

Q. How many televisions do you have in your house?

Two. One is our old British PAL TV for watching old PAL videos.

BIOLOGY
Q. Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Right

Q. Have you ever had anything removed from your body?

Nothing more dramatic than ear wax.

Q. What is the last heavy item you lifted?

Um - the only thing I can of is a beaver, but it wasn't all that heavy. Not when you're used to lifting Labradors.

Q. Have you ever been knocked out?

No. I fainted once as a child after having a tooth out.

BULLSHITOLOGY
Q. If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?

Yes.

Q. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?

Well, I could change my name, lots of people do. I choose not to.

Q. What color do you think looks best on you?

Depends whether at the time of asking I have a sun tan or not - I look good in white when I'm not XD

Q. Have you ever swallowed a non-food item?

Not that I remember, though I probably did as a baby, most of them do.

DAREOLOGY
Q. Would you kiss a member of the same sex for $100?

Only if they're hot, but hey, if they're hot, I'll do it for free.

Q. Would you allow one of your little fingers to be cut off for $200,000?

No. I don't do gratuitous pain.

Q. Would you never blog again for $50,000?

Nope.

Q. Would you pose naked in a magazine for $250,000?

I have no nudity issues, so that's a no-brainer. Clothes are for keeping warm, and if I wouldn't get arrested, I'd be naked half the summer. It's stupid that society decrees we must pretend some parts of the human body don't exist.

Q. Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1,000?

What's hot sauce? Or is it just a generic term covering things like chili sauce? But probably not, no.

Q. Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000?

There are some sharing the planet I'd do for free. A random person, no.

DUMBOLOGY
Q: What is in your left pocket?

Air and pocket fluff.

Q: Is Napoleon Dynamite actually a good movie?

It would help if I'd seen it, right?

Q: Do you have hardwood or carpet in your house?

Both, but more carpet. It's warmer for the feet.

Q: Do you sit or stand in the shower?

I take baths and lounge. When forced to take a shower, I stand.

Q: How many pairs of flip flops do you own?

None.

LASTOLOGY
Q: Last person who texted you?

Some random spammer.

Q: Last person who called you?

The bathroom woman.

Q: Person you hugged?

The SO.

FAVORITOLOGY
Q: Number?

Don't really have one

Q: Season?

Summer! Heat and sunshine!

Q: Colour?

Well, that varies with context. I might wear a T-shirt in a colour I wouldn't paint my walls.

CURRENTOLOGY
Q: Missing someone?

Um, no. I don't seem to do that, I don't stop to think about it.

Q: Mood?

Pensive.

Q: Listening to?

REM - Accelerate. Not dramatically impressed so far.

Q: Watching?

Darker Than Black. Just finished season one of The Wire last night, we liked it a lot (yes, I know, we're behind!)

Q: Worrying about?

Nothing. I don't seem to do that much either.

Q: Wearing?

Jeans, tomato coloured jumper. Dark blue socks. It's hailstoning outside.

RANDOMOLOGY
Q: First place you went this morning?

Other than my computer, the pharmacy to buy hair dye.

Q: What can you not wait to do?

FINISH MY WIP! 68,000 words as of this morning.

Q: Do you smile often?

Yes!

Q: Are you a friendly person?

Yes and no. Yes, I'm pleasant and sociable in person, and I get along well with most people. No, as in generally I'm just as happy on my own.

Hmmm, I wonder if those comments issues have magically fixed themselves?

They are! They're also always slightly blurred because they're just never still when they're sucking, dammit!

What a cute baby squirrel... I don't think I've seen a baby one before... do they hid out like baby pigeons do?

Baby squirrels are usually in nests - the ones we get fell out of the nests, or the trees were chopped down at inappropriate moments. By the time humans see them normally, they're just like small squirrels, complete with big bushy tails.

I think I need a baby squirrel now...

Well, you see, one baby squirrel sucking from a syringe bottle is a very cute thing indeed. Sixty of them become a tad overwhelming!

Sadly, the things we're feeding aren't exactly native here either, they're eastern grey squirrels. There used to be such a thing as the western grey squirrel around here a century ago, but they got squeezed out into a few small pockets.

Personally I have issues with the fact that the wildlife centre treats and releases bloody feral pigeons, but the clinic director insists we treat everything that's brought in. One day over the winter when things were slow, we sat down and considered exactly how many species we'd have to strike from the list if we only treated natives - no squirrels, no opossums, no raccoons (they're all originally native to the US, but not to the northwest). We'd have to be really choosy about the rabbits. We'd basically become a rehab centre for spotted owls, and sit on our arses doing nothing the entire year!

How cuuuuuuuuuuute! *squeals* Thank you for showing the little thing. I've never seen one so young before. By the time we get to see them around here, they're just a miniature version of an adult, although we only see red fox squirrels in this area. Still, I like to keep a bag of mixed nuts in my car for when I go to the park during lunch breaks. They seem to be partial to almonds and walnuts :)

The young ones normally stay secreted away out of sight XD But they are cute and adorable - even after fifty of them, they're still cute, though you wish they were tidier eaters and you didn't have to wash so much formula off them!

So you're saying they wear more than they've eaten? XD

Sometimes XD The bigger ones are actually worse - the little ones are more inclined to just sit and suck, the bigger they are, the wrigglier they get!

So awesome and adorable.

When I saw this comment in my inbox, I was assuming you were referring to Vash and Wolfwood - with relief, I peer at your icon and see I was right :-)
