Fight or Flee

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 29, 2008

Now I don’t usually consider myself a chicken. Given enough time for my logical side to kick in, I can be convinced to do almost anything. Every once in awhile, I’ll even make rather rash, made in one second, decisions. Ok, not so much in awhile, maybe in a lot. 
However, when it comes to instinctual [...]

Blisters and Boston

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 25, 2008

My week in Boston is almost coming to an end.
Notable things to note:
1. I met many old people. I mean… old friends who are people. It’s strange. Maybe someday I’ll elaborate. Strange but good.
2. I have replacement shoes (!!!) for the old pair of “church shoes” that are broken, and also the only girly pair [...]

Gets Me Every Time

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 19, 2008

You’ve watched a tearjerker about 20 times, and you’d think that by the 21st time you’d stop bawling like a baby at the end. I mean, for each of the 20 times you’ve watched it, the ending doesn’t suddenly take a turn for the better. You know, you know they have to leave each other [...]

One White Hair Too Many

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 16, 2008

My cat’s a little old. Let’s just say if she were human she’d more than qualify for AARP discounts. She’s so old she’s reached the point a vet will actually say, “But the treatment’s too expensive.” Which is interesting, since no self respecting doctor would ever say that to an elderly patient. 
For as long as [...]

This is how I feel about the Government

Foot partially in mouth…

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 10, 2008

Hmm… so it’s a fact that I’m prone to jumping to conclusions. So foot in mouth edit about Palin and pushing for Creationism. She doesn’t push its teaching in school. All dino jokes are hence stricken from record and banished to the Cass world of silly gullibility.
So apparently I’m not the only person that irrationally (maybe some [...]

The Almost Summary: Lessons, experiences, and the like.

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 7, 2008

1. I contributed to global warming by travelling to: Sabah, Singapore, Indonesia, HK and China. 
2. I had/am having an almost 5 month vacation.
3. I still need to climb Mt. Kinabalu. It WILL happen cause I’m not a giver upper!
4. Have we finally, finally found a cure for my skin problem? Celebrate. Drinks one me.
5. This [...]

Who cares about what I think.

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 4, 2008

But I think anyway. I’m silly like that. But I had to suffer through a good portion of the RNC today and I feel like a feisty opinion is in order.
Firstly, clearly I’m a liberal leaning type person. 
Guilianni had, had to mention 9/11. It’s been awhile, yes, a pivotal moment in history, but isn’t there [...]

Just for fun

Posted by: rabbitatduke on: September 4, 2008

I was doing my usual rounds among the blogs and I saw my cousin’s “I’ve read…” list. So I thought it’d be fun to see what I’ve read from Britain’s top 100 list of awesome books, or The Big Read Survey… so here goes, yet another minute well used. Commentary along the way… cause this [...]
