more clickies

i want to get all of these out of my tabs before i go to bed (which i'm doing at an absurdly early 10PM PDT tonight so i can get up for ohdarkfuckingthirty tomorrow and hopefully not feel more awful than usual. special mention goes to [livejournal.com profile] geekchick for the adorableness. <3

elephant tail hair reveals how they compete with other species, their diet, conception rates, etc. See, that's very cool. And the way they do it makes a lot of sense.

lost Aboriginal language revived. I love lost languages. They're kind of sad in a way because so few people know about the words, but if they're only a little lost, then things like this happen.

drug offers hope on Alzheimer's

first puppy Bo to arrive Tuesday this has the cutest presidential photo-op ever (at least I think so): Obama's running down a hall (presumably in the White House) with the dog. And the dog is ADORABLE, and he's all, 'hey, dad? am i doing okay, dad? how'm i doing, dad?' *flailing*




Tried to learn Judy's Magic Cast-On. My fingers hurt and there's something small that I'm doing wrong (i think it has to do with the direction i'm wrapping the yarn on the bottom needle.) That said it goes significantly better than previous attempts to knit the same sock top-down. So it's a partial success.

new ice cream thing is known as a ben and jerry's 'flipped out!' in the vanilla fudge brownie flavor - cookie bottom, vanilla ice cream + brownie bits, fudge top. Not bad, but not spectacular. I think this is one of those things they make to convince people that they're getting more dessert than they actually are. (like i said: ice cream=srs bzns around here) We have a peanut butter and chocolate brownie fudge varietal that will probably tried tomorrow night.

I'm tired. I hope you all are doing well. I'm pretty worried about tomorrow morning's neurologist appointment. I really hope she can do something helpful.

Goodnight everyone.
