Heya folks, how's everybody doing? :D Just for the fun of it I decided to update my journal again, just a simple update to let you guys now what's going on ^3^
Well, I'm just as busy as ever with my project and just as inactive here (sorry about that guys). But I'll just keep on trucking!
My birthday was last week (June 26)and to celebrate this event I went with a bunch of friends to an Italian resturant, which was really nice: great company and good food, could it get any better? I didn't even have to pay for anything that night and I got a bottle of tequila from my labmates :horns: So I had a great birthday indeed :w00t:
Another fun thing is that we have now got four labmascots. It's my tutor, Erik's, four bearded pygmy chameleons and they're absolutely adorable! His daughter has already namned them but that didn't stop my other supervisor, Tom, from naming them too. So they're now known as Britney, Mary-Kate and Ashley and Greg (I'm telling you, this man is hilarious :giggle: ) Hopefully I'll get some photos of both the chameleons and my partners in crime pretty soon, and then I'm gonna put some of them up here so you'll get to se both them and what the heck we're doing with those poor damselflies ;P

Ah well, that's that! Take care now, ma darlings! :heart:

Tagged, update and damselflies

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 14, 2008, 1:55 PM

  • Reading: "Thief of time"
  • Eating: An apple
Hey everybody! How are you guys doing? :D I must say that I’m a bit exhausted at the moment, but at the same time content. As some of you already know I’ve started to work with my B.A degree now, and even if it’s a lot of work it’s also very funny. At the moment I’m running some experiments with a damselfly specie called Enallagma, were I compare mating activity between different populations of this damselfly. Okay, sounds a bit boring perhaps but I find it most interesting. Apart from this I’m also helping out with catching, investigation of morph frequencies, measuring damselflies, putting up females for egg, counting eggs, dusting males, etc. So, shortly, I’ve got a lot to do ^3^ If the weather is good we always head out and catch as many damselflies we possible can. So this mean that I work on weekends as well, and normally we start at 09.00 am and quit around 5-6 pm :faint: Luckily I work with a bunch of kind and wonderful people (from England and USA actually). And we are sharing the lab yet with another damselfly-group which consists of people from France, England and Germany. Quite a mixture, ehy? ;P But we have a lot of fun and we try to hang as much a possible after work (which mean I haven’t slept properly for, at least, a week now). And to top it all off, my supervisor is a rather forgetful professor (he has a lot of things to do so you can’t blame him) who’s really fun and nice :D
So yeah, even if I’m very tired I’m not complaining :giggle:
But, as you might understand, I hardly have any time for drawing, so don’t expect to see much from me. And I’ll be rather slow with commenting as well (sorry about that, guys).
And lastly, I was tagged by my dear :icondecemberstar: so here we go!

Hum di dum...

Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 1:28 PM
  • Mood: Content
  • Reading: "The mammoth encyclopedia of mysteries
  • Watching: Eragon
Hmm, I really should try to update this journal a little more frequently. But, then again, since I normally don’t have anything really extraordinary to tell, I tend to update only when I feel that too much time has passed since I updated the last time. The only reason I’m doing it now is because I want to assure you guys that I’m alive and kicking! :D
Well, there’s not much to tell really. Uni have been keeping me really busy (as you may have noticed from the lack of drawings from me). Hopefully I’ll manage to submit something soon, but we’ll just see about that ^3^
Oh, that’s right! I’m actually going to take my B.A degree this summer. So I’ll be occupied with different experiments and with writing my report most of the summer. With a little luck I might get a couple of weeks off in August, so I’ll have a chance to get a short summer break at least ;P But wish me luck, guys!
Well then, that’s about it me think. Spring and summer has finally arrived to Sweden, and I’m enjoying every moment of this wonderful weather. I had a chocolate milkshake with Jeli this afternoon, while we were basking in the sun. It was lovely, I tell you ^.^

Ah well, take care everybody! Ta ta! :blowkiss:

Some interesting info...

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 16, 2008, 10:30 AM
  • Mood: Grumpy
  • Reading: "The science of Discworld"
Firts of all I'd like to share some very interesting information I learned from the course I'm currently taking, which is conservation biology, and it's concerning extinction risks and rates:

- In the last 5 million years, the extinction for mammals has been around 0,06%/1000 years. Which means that approximately 0,06% of the mammal species went extinct every thousand years. That's a low value

- During the Permian mass extinction the value was 0,6% (for the marine fauna). A much higher value

- During the Cretaseous mass extinction the value was 0,2%

- During the Pleistocene mass extinction the value was around 0,3%

- From 1600 to PRESENT: 3%!!

This means that we humens are 15 times more powerful and dangerous than whatever wiped out the dinos!
I don't know about the rest of you but this almost makes we wish for that some sort of super virus will come and wipe out, at least, half of the human population. This planet is getting crowded :shakefist:

On a more general level I've been very busy, just as always. I've been forced to study during the weeks and most of the weekends as well. And when I don't study I'm trying to keep up with my social life, so on the drawing front not much gets a chance to get done. I'm still working on that list with people I owe picures, and I'm slowly but certainly working my way down that list :P Let me put it this way: when a picture gets done, it gets done. No fuzz, no muzz :D

All righty, since I don't want to bore you all to tears I'll just stop right here ^3^ (Oh, I btw, I didn't make this journal, but it looked so nice that I had to use it =P)

Take care everybody! Luff ya! :blowkiss:
