      Yes! I too would like to see the fountain pen :D

  2. Thoughts on chicken nuggets?

      I second Tesh's "yum," but you get a higher ratio of meat to breading if you eat the chicken in patty form instead of nuggets.

  3. I got hit by a Falcon Punch today. 

    Literally. 

    By an actual falcon.

    Or maybe it was a hawk. 

    Felt like a koloss sucker-punched me in the back of the head.

      :o Storms! Are you okay? Did its claws draw blood?

  5. A bird just flew into our front window. He (she?) was breathing okay, but pretty dazed. I got a box ready and put him inside so he doesn’t get eaten by a cat or something. Hopefully he recovers in an hour or so and then back to the Wild!

    @Sunbird, can you tell what type of bird it is?

      Oh I'm so glad to hear she recovered enough to fly off! Given how long she was dazed, I have no doubt you saved her from becoming a victim of a cat or hawk attack by keeping her sheltered while she rested. Hooray for a happy ending! ^_^

      Her balance is probably messed up from the head trauma of the crash. Unfortunately I am not a wildlife rehabber and don't know how to help her besides getting her to someone who is. :(

      I'm glad she is seeming to improve. Keep me posted on her status, will you please? :)

      Oh my. That's a Cedar Waxwing! They're one of my favorites; thanks for tagging me.

      I wish I had seen this sooner. You did a good job bringing her inside to protect from cats and other predators, but unfortunately most birds who crash into windows give themselves concussions that require care from a professional wildlife rehabilitator in order to heal. If this little beauty is still alive and kicking by the time you see this post, please call your local wildlife rehab ASAP. (This website has a list of rehabbers organized by state.) They may ask you to bring her to them, or they may send someone to pick her up. In the meantime, don't give her any food or water. I know it seems mean, but it is actually riskier for her health if a human tries to feed her than if she goes a day without.

  9. At four today, I saw my first Marvel movie! It was Black Panther, and is really good. So, yay! And I started reading The Great Hunt, and took a big test today in English!

      There's gotta be at least some on Netflix. Let me go see what I can find...

      Ok, looks like Netflix currently has Doctor Strange, Civil War, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 on streaming.

      ... That is a disappointingly small assortment. Of those 3, I would advise watching Doctor Strange first since it requires the least knowledge of previous movies to enjoy fully.

      IMO Thor 2 and Age of Ultron were 2 of the weaker ones. Not terrible still, just not as awesome as the others.

  12. It appears as though I am likely to be in the Salt Lake area in the general vicinity of May 31 - June 1 or 2.

    1. Sunbird

      Sunbird

      Well, depending on traffic and weather, it usually takes about an hour for me to drive to Salt Lake, so the distance is worth mentioning even though it's a lot closer than we usually are.

      Awesome! I'm down in Orem for the moment, but things may change by the end of May. I'd love to meet you in person if possible. :D

      Thanks! I did indeed take this photo myself. Got to see a Snowy Owl in the wild for the first time ever on Saturday. ^_^ What a magical experience!

      Once you've fallen into that particular rabbit hole, you're beyond help. :P

      That came in my Facebook memories today too. XD

  19. I have to give a talk in church tomorrow.

    I am writing most of it today.

    Halp.

  20. That feel when you realize you're probably gonna have to work on Black Friday. :wacko:

      Maybe you'll get lucky and all the rabid shoppers will be at other stores that day.

      Aw, that's rotten! I hope you feel better ASAP.

  23. My dad's applying for jobs in the Middle East. I'm not super psyched about moving anywhere that's hotter than where I am now. :huh: Exciting, though, I guess.

      I'd be more worried about the political unrest... But I definitely agree with your unenthusiasm for hot weather.

  24. "Too much fat? In my diet? Impossible!" I say, eating half a jar of peanut butter in one sitting.

      YES. There's no such thing as too much peanut butter!
