i thought i had a great deal to share with you all about the first week of my post-graduation life, but i believe most of it can be summed up in the following:

george carlin died of heart failure at age 71.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I have a new job! I'm the Seymour Marine Discovery Center's newest Student Aquarist. Not really sure I know what to do with fish when they're actually alive, but I have to support my nasty animal training habit somehow. I start Thursday.
I trained a dolphin for the first time on Friday. Pretty sure I'm not a natural at it, but after working with pinnipeds for so long, it's a bit of a frameshift to only be able to work an animal at the side of a pool and not be worried about it running after you. I got really wet. From the salt water. And my vag.

tonight i went to fondtuesday (fondue usually on tuesday, this week on monday) at the house of colleen, my boss. she got a call shortly after i arrived from our vet at the marine lab.
a stranded neonate risso's dolphin had just been brought to the lab to be rehabbed. THERE IS A RISSO'S DOLPHIN AT MY LAB. of course for the past four hours i've been thinking of nothing else but how i want to be down there doing ... something. i want to be there all night, the first night, you know, really get in when things are just beginning. but i have to work at our lab tomorrow and the next day and i'm tired and i'm not quite sure where they're keeping the dolphin, or who will be in charge when i get there or what i'd even say. this seems like a big opportunity to step up but i'm frozen. literally. it's like 30 degrees outside and i don't even want to think about getting in a pool in the middle of the night. at least not tonight. my plan is to go to sleep and sleep hard. wake up and go to work tomorrow. scope things out. and then see where i can fit in. our vet seemed to think that the dolphin would be around for quite a while and it would definitely be a long term captive animal, and meanwhile we (at fondtuesday) weren't being quite so optomistic. the only problem is i'm supposed to leave on wednesday evening to go to arizona. this may be reason enough to fly down in a few days instead. so much to think about. tomorrow will be a big day.

I have officially declared a B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior. Now I can enroll in classes for next quarter.
Also, have you ever taken a class for a whole quarter, shit your pants over it the whole time, and then noticed after you've taken the final that you were never actually enrolled? I have.
Also, I will likely be swimming with the cutest harbor seal in the whole world next weekend. O, life.

Why am I so excited that the schedule of classes is up?
I still have to declare a major so it's not like they're going to let me enroll....

this afternoon i walked across campus to the gym. the second floor was packed without an open machine in sight, so i walked down to the first and found an open bike. i turned on my ipod, started pedaling and 10 minutes later, just as i'm starting to enjoy myself, some buggery staff told me "the first floor is now closed to students and only open to faculty or staff. are you faculty or staff?"

no, smartass.

And then i walked back.

Jeff Corwin was filming with the dolphins and otters today. I saw him. He was wearing a turtle neck and sunglasses.
And then I moved on in life.

Sure it's rather trite and melodramatic to post song lyrics in your livejournal. but i like the song,s o don't B a h8r.

I want to be a good womyn
And I want, for you to be a good man.
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why, I can’t see you no more.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love
This love forever

I don’t want be a bad womyn
And I can’t stand to see you be a bad man
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love
This love forever
And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can’t see you no more
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don’t love you no more

Cause I want to be a good womyn
And I want for you to be a good man

is it just me or did franz ferdinand sounds horrible on snl?
maybe it's just because i don't find the lead singer attractive in the least.
or maybe it's because they lack talent.

This is a continuation of Painfully Embarassing Moments in the Life of Me...
Last weekend, I stuck my big CD case in my car so i'd have some new music to listen to on the ride to and from Sacramento. Today, I drove Kristy and Jason (grad students from my lab) to Dollar Pizza Tuesday. As Jason was flipping through my CD case, I was struck by the revelation that "Joe's Bel Ami Boys IV" was in there. I'm hoping he didn't notice. But he was looking at every CD, how could he not?
And then while we were eating pizza, Colleen (my boss) was describing the new computer tech guy as short and balding. Someone suggested "like George Costanza" and she said "yeah, except more hair" and when my gears were done turning I blurted out "OH! on his head!" And then everyone laughed and we talked about the giant set of testicles that was on the great dane that walked in. I <3 the sea lion lab!

Bitch, make me a sammich!

I feel like I'm living on a boat.

Everytime someone fucks, the entire house shakes.

Like right now.

You are happy, driven, and status conscious.
You want everyone to know how successful you are.
Very logical, you see life as a game of strategy.

A bit of a loner, you prefer to depend on yourself.
You always keep your cool and your composure.
You are a born leader and business person.

The World's Shortest Personality Test

I feel pretty, and witty, and GHEY.

I am sitting on my bed, listening to Bjork's Greatest Hits album, and eating a mango. Could I be any gayer? (in both senses of the word...)
