Stuff I Like

I have an Anatomy exam tomorrow, and so of course, here I am.  But sometimes I am humming along through my day and I hit on things that are really neat, like so neat that I talk on and on about them at anyone who will listen.  So since this is my blog and you are my captive audience, here are some things I like (starting with: I like lists of things):

--My labradoofus.  She makes me very happy, even when she smells like mud (i.e., 95% of the time).

--The clock tower bells.  WSU has a clock tower (we call it the Eye of Sauron because it is lit in red neon) which chimes on the hour and plays a song every day at 5 o' clock.  I've only ever been able to identify "Tradition" from the Fiddler on the Roof, but it makes me happy that I can hear it from my house.  I keep meaning to find out who puts the songs together and ask them to post the playlist on the web somewhere.

--Renal physiology.  It is very cool, and would probably be even cooler if I knew what the hell was going on (that's this weekend's project).  My favorite thing about physiology is that it is so interesting, the class goes by quickly.

--Radiographs.  So nifty, I mean, have you thought about it?  You are looking inside the body.  And it's like a jigsaw puzzle in there. And thanks, Dr. Mary, because now I know how to look at head x-rays and impress the bejeezus out of my colleagues (How can you tell it's a 4 year old horse?!  Oohhhh...).

--This website.  Any idea to be more happy is a good idea!  I like being happy.

--Hatching plans for my apartment.  I'm allowed to paint it (!!), and boy howdy do I have ambitions here.

--You guys.  I am so lucky to have such a wonderful network of people around me!  I appreciate each and every one of you and I would encourage you to visit Pullman (although you may want to wait until the weird chemical smell is out of my new cushy futon mattress).

--The hot chocolate at the Black Cypress restaurant downtown.  If Indy and I are not quite enough, this hot chocolate will make the trip to Pullman worth your time.

--Procrastination.  Today I saw a t-shirt reading "I have not yet begun to procrastinate" which I may need to own.

--This weirdo (Pumpkin Pi for Halloween; please note the clever stem):
