Cyclone in Myanmar, leaving who knows how many dead, and hundreds of thousands of people homeless, hungry and vulnerable to the spread of disease.
Earthquake in China, killing tens of thousands, leaving thousands more homeless, leaving parents childless and children parentless. Now there's a very real threat of flooding from damaged dams giving way.
Wildfires in Florida. A week ago, some ten thousand acres had burned. With all the other big news, detailed information on these fires is hard to find right now. Arrests have been made, however, as it's suspected arson.
Tornados across the US, when tornado season hasn't even "officially" begun. Yesterday, a tornado believed to have been a mile wide flattened half a town in Colorado.
Wildfires consuming thousands of acres in California. Some 500+ firefighters battle to control it while hundreds (thousands?) evacuate ahead of it. Mudslides have also become a threat thanks to downpours in the same state.
Is it just me, or has the last month or so just been one enormous natural disaster? |

Obligatory eggies:    
And now for the real entry.
Feeling better than yesterday, though still pretty blah. Got a headache. >.o
My obsession with vernal pool invertebrates is increasing. >>; I have three species of brine shrimp, and a freshwater species I'm waiting on. :3 I've found a bunch of other people online--with a lot of effort o_o-- that have the same interests. Not only are they interested, but some of them breed various other species, from fairy shrimp to clam shrimp to water fleas and triops, and a lot of trading goes on between the members of the community. Plus, I'm picking up tips on how to find my own little crustaceans out in the wild, and I can't wait to go hunting. I'm hoping to get a good look round the ponds the next time I'm at my folks' place; I'm pretty sure there aren't any fish in their ponds, so they're fairly likely to be full of critters. :3
Silly? Maybe. Adorable and fun? Totally. ^^;
Meanwhile, we've got storms here, again. Which actually ties into the above, since the rain will fill up the pools my little pets tend to appear in in the wild. I'm hoping I'll feel well enough one day this week to go explore a little. Gas is kinda expensive, but since I haven' t been driving back and forth to work, I think I can get away with one day of driving around country roads. ;) And at least it'll get me out of the house. Blargh.
I guess that's it for now, except to note that although I've been hungry, I've had like no appetite for a few days now. Although yesterday I somehow managed to inhale nearly an entire box of Cheez-Its in one sitting. I'm a little grossed out by that fact. >>;;; |

[02:14 AM] HamatoKameko: It wasn't even dead! It was perfectly healthy! It's almost always the dead/dying trees that break and fall, not the healthy ones!
