koosie

To be frank I'm not a huge fan of Cronenberg, but The Fly and Naked Lunch are good films, I reckon. I did not like A History of Violence. Have you ever read the original NL novel? I started once, but got interupted and never actually finished it, I will do sometime, only I'll have to find another copy somewhere. My uni library membership expires at the end of the month.

Well, maybe. I'll just focus upon surviving this particular adventure for now, though. In the meantime, I would prefer not to talk about it, if that's okay (I just wanna get on and do it, and further discussion on the matter just makes me nervous). Did anything interesting happen to you lately?

It was an actual claw.

It may have been for impressing mates.

Thanks, I hope so...what I'm mainly looking forward to right now is finally getting rid of it, I've been working on this thing for months now, and after it's done I can go home and see my family again. I will miss the university though.

Dinosaurs have never been found in Oregon either.

Just the surrounding states.

I read your pic comment. It's amazing that the theriznosaurus was an herbivore, though the claw was large, the animal was not.

At this stage, I don't have a clue. And if it's dunce, after all I've put into it, I'll scream. :/

Yes, I only have just under two weeks left to go, so I'm in the final rundown right now, meaning I've got to stay focussed. Thanks, though I very much doubt it will be a masterpiece. I'm just hoping it will be good enought to pass.

I'm still sick, but I'm feeling much better. The horses are doing fine. Last night was the second time that it froze over here. Nothing to report about dinosaurs. It kinda sucks that no dinosaur has ever been found in Washington.

Oh yes, dunlins are very cute! We call them and similar birds "sandpipers" here. I love how they just skit across the sand so fast, their little legs are almost invisible. In the area I am now, we don't have many egrets, but we have a lot of herons. In the mid section of the country where I use to live, there are a lot of egrets though. They're soooo pretty during breeding season. Depending on the species, their bills and/or legs turn bright yellow, and their snow white feathers grow very long and "flowy". I miss seeing them. I'll settle for great blue herons though. They're such big and magnificent birds. I saw one just yesterday while taking a walk along a river, I'm always pleased to see one.

Diver, eh? Good name for them. They're around, but it's been years since I've seen one. I remember hearing their call when I was a girl. They are quite plentiful in the area I was living at the time. Mergansers are really cool too, they almost look like those prehistoric birds. They have teeth! But they also have some really pretty colors. Cormorants are very common. Swans... *sigh* Oh how I love swans. I saw a pair of what I believe were trumpeter swans a year ago as I drove to work. I believe they were migrating south from Canada. I was so excited to see them too! It had been a while since I had seen swans.

My favorite birds ever since I first found a love for them have always been the herons and cranes. Big birds always fascinated me, because if they were as big as I was and could fly, maybe I could find a way to fly too. That led to many a wonderful daydream.
