Irish Beef Stew
There is a whole story that goes with this stew, and how I am still very very angry with Kroger but I have three exams starting tomorrow and need to get back to studying. However I just wanted to share with you that you all need to try this recipe because its divine.

A Work In Progress
So I came up with this super brilliant idea to illustrate and animate ovulation through placentation (of the bovine) to help me study/ be a gigantic nerd. I've started and it's really quite tedious- and not really helping me study so far, but I'm going to keep working on it. Hopefully by the end of the semester I will have it done - or at least ovulation?! Anyway here is a preview of the current beginning image. What do you think?

The BIG 2-1
If you know me, and lets face it I know you know me if you read this because frankly I know I'm not that interesting and terribly inconsistent with updating the thing, then you know my twenty-first birthday is coming up. For the occasion I've ordered myself a present - Cow Poke Soap. That's right, soap, and I ordered mine in a "soap sweater" (I know I know) that acts as a soap holding washcloth to help get all the extra scudzy barn goo off. I'm really excited since the soap I currently use, although I really like it, just can't cut the smell of pigs and sheep that gets down under your skin, plus it only works on the cattle and horse smell if I wash a few times. So the prospect of something getting the smell of sheep to disappear is definitely worth a try, plus it's sure to help keep all the bugs off if it ever does get warm here- though I'm not quite sure that will happen. If it works well and smells good they can bet they will have a long time customer since I plan on spending lots of my life in "stinky" situations!

This is called not studying. I just can't bring myself to do it, even though I have three tests this week. I am completely unmotivated, and I'm blaming it on the snow. Just because I can. I know it isn't really the snows fault though, I've just lacked the drive to stick my nose in one of those obnoxious, boring, redundant textbooks and read all day. Don't get me wrong, I love reading- just how many times can you read about the different types of microscopes and not be bored?
Plus, I've been extremely feisty lately. That's what Alan said anyway. I don't know why though I do always blame it on the Irish. Yep, I'm feisty Irish. And German. And who knows what else. That's besides the point though, the point is I've been feisty. Not to anyone I know personally but in general. Like situations which arise on T.V. (not just scripted shows either) get a slew of angry commentary from me. Oh and don't get me started on the organic and agricultural industry information that has been coming up lately. That's a very dangerous topic.
I'm not sure why I've been so irritable or adamant about certain things lately, and I'm not quite sure I like it. Feisty in moderation and small bursts may be fun, feisty 24-7 isn't necessarily my favorite thing ever. Oh well, maybe when all the snow melts I'll quit the angry thing... heh like that will happen soon.
On the bright side, I did get to see triplet lambs born on Thursday, and an assisted lambing from another ewe and that was pretty exciting.

My laptop has finally given up on me, and this time there is a very slim chance that I can do anything to save it. The only way I can possibly get it to work again would be to get an external battery adapter that charges the battery through AC power separately from the computer.
See, the problem is that the battery is DEAD. It stopped charging and will not charge no matter how much I plead or threaten it. The AC adapter somehow is not recognized by my computer to be a Dell product, even though it is and the last one was and oh yeah the one before that too, and so it says it cannot charge the battery. To make matters worse my laptop will not run off of the AC adapter alone. For some reason the AC adapter seems to be having trouble keeping a connection with my computer and so it flicks on and off the AC power every few seconds, which obviously does not work when you have no battery power to make up for the discrepancies. So, you'd think it was a problem with the AC adapter right? Not entirely. Even my new AC adapter will not work -actually, correction, it worked properly for about three days and then steadily got worse and worse over time; but at least it got me through the semester with only a two week hiatus. So whats the issue? Well as it turns out, it is a very common problem with Dell laptops. Go figure. There is this issue with the AC adapter's resistors or something along those lines, I'm not electrical engineer I only date one so I didn't really pay all that close attention to that part of the forums I was reading... Anyway it causes the pin in the AC adapter to act as an electrical antenna and fry a chip on the motherboard. AWESOME. Have you seen how much those fuckers cost? Yeah, not worth it. Whats even worse is Dell totally knows about this issue and won't do anything to fix their faulty AC adapters, they just keep selling them. I guess selling new motherboards makes too much money to worry about customer satisfaction.
So, my laptop is sitting on a pile on my floor making me sad and angry. I mean its not all that bad, that amazing electrical engineer did bring me an old desktop PC to use; but its just not the same. No more pictures, or documents, or any of my bookmarks, and no more programs that I had taken time to accumulate and install. Five years of well, my life is now dead on my floor, figuratively of course. And I miss it. I miss my pictures, all my beautiful, goofy, wonderful pictures; I miss all my word documents and neatly filed and organized school work and stories and plans; I miss my bookmarks and all that jazz. And I know, I know I should have backed it up. I actually have an external hard drive sitting in my closet too, with enough room to store it all. Stupid me. But one of the pins is bent on the connecting cord and I didn't want to stress it. Now I regret it. And the only options I can see to getting my precious information back is to remove my hard drive and put it some where else, or get enough charge in my battery to power it up long enough to transfer everything to the external. The second choice is my preferred choice because its not as difficult, and I can get all my bookmarks that way; the first choice is not as easy since hard drives aren't compatible with, oh most other systems and don't transfer easily. So fun huh?
