yamamanamaKendall, Lucy, Anna, Lucie, Anya are all leaving. I think Taylor and Amanda are still around. Primrose is surprisingly and thankfully still around, as she's the one intern (and I'm going to lump Jack in with everyone else who can't be fucked to actually share the photos they post) who actually has a camera and knows how to use it along with an instagram account. Jack is talking about taking a picture of the oystercatcher we got today but we all know this isn't happening. Although there aren't any opossums and only a few squirrels and a sassy gull and a hawk who had maggots in his ears and a few adolescent ducklings hanging around, so who knows? I'm not sure how difficult shorebirds are to take care of but if they're anything like seabirds, Primrose may not get a chance to photograph it. They have yellow eyes and a thick orange beak that they can use to pry open bivalve molluscs and they're colored a bit like seagulls with black heads.
Meanwhile, someone found a drowned sparrow in the goat's water and I was tasked to remove it. Lucie told me to grab it with my gloved hand because I couldn't find a net for it. I couldn't do that either as Gallop and Penelope were making things difficult and ignoring all distractions, so I grabbed a rake and fished it out with that. It was just barely long enough. I was holding a paper towel to wrap the corpse in but Gallop grabbed it from me and ate it. I think we were planning to necropsy it. And speaking of necropsy, someone found Snap-Snap the Snapping Turtle (!) in the freezer. We can't do anything with that until it unthaws. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to learn about turtle anatomy.
Meanwhile, a woman with short blue hair found a taxidermied bird foot in a bag of feathers and found it creepy and awesome at the same time.
Rachel has green hair.
The pool in the outdoor gull enclosure is starting to become overgrown with something.
During rounds, Matt ate the breakfast of champions: a slice of leftover turkey-BLT pizza with mayonnaise instead of pizza sauce.
Gallop noshed on the goat anatomy sheets Vikki spent all that time and effort making. Goats have only lower teeth. On top, they have a dental pad. They technically have canine teeth but they're evolved to be pretty much an extra pair of incisors. They have a flap of skin connecting the esophagus to the omasum, so when they suckle, the milk skips the rumen.
One of the interns asked how we got the goats in the first place and apparently when we had our first llama before we got Chester, the Wildlife Center was out in the woods and since the local predators haven't ever seen a llama before and because llamas are huge, and then we got Chester and then Chester was lonely so we got Penelope and then Chester died and Penelope got lonely so we got Gallop.
I think it was Kendall because I think she was talking about an alpaca at her school that serves the same purpose.
Meanwhile, we had a really large rodo getting x-rays.
Meanwhile, Kendall says that she could never go to an all-girls school and I wondered if there were any men only colleges anymore and realized that back when all-women colleges were founded, the default setting was all men.
It hasn't been that long since women were allowed to vote and be educated, she realizes.
Hell, women couldn't vote in parts of Switzerland until 1991. That's not a typo.
Kendall wishes that Trump's campaign was just a joke. She brought up Trump supporters talking about just when America was great and apparently, that time was when anyone who wasn't a white man didn't have any rights. She can't believe Trump made it this far and remembers when everyone thought it was just a joke.
burning question: agree or disagree: Every shitty band has at least one good-to-great song in them; it explains most of the e80's pop craze.
I'm having trouble thinking of a good Creed song.
