27 of 30 - Comments / Entry

[aggienaut]

   Tonight's entry was supposed to be super simple because rather than spend time on an entry today I've been looking for a job. Like any big project, this first involves perusing the internet, the academic equivalent of getting into a pool by inching in from the shallow end -- one gets to experience all the anticipated ill effects ("its so cold!" or "this is so tedious," respectively) while still being "useful" and even kind of procrastinating really getting to work.
   But I do have a pile of emails that have accumulated in my inbox (57 to be exact) which were internship opportunities that I decided needed further consideration when they first appeared in my inbox. Likely its too late for any of these now, but I'm desperate not to become a sandwich jockey or coffee technician. I'd rather become a cook (again)!
   If anyone has any suggestions on most preferably meritious internships, or at least jobs that aren't insultingly robotic, that would be highly appreciated. Ability to retain mohawk a plus, but it'll lose out against a decent job.

   So this entry was supposed to be simple. I was going to produce the ranked results of my earlier blogological study on one category, revealing who actually had been included in the research. However, my computer being ridiculous, it informed me that the document was irreperably damaged, as its been fond of telling me about all kinds of things. Fortunately I sent a copy to apoplecticfittz so he may have the only undamaged version now.
   I was however able after some fighting with the machine, and perhaps because I'd transferred the file to the other computer here (there are multiple computers networked together here in my ancestral abode in Mission Viejo) by this point, I was able to get a somewhat damaged version of the file open.
   And so, I present to you, comments received per entry, as of mid June 2005. The included livejournals were selected largely based on me wanting to see what some more of what I suspected to be megabloggers, underbloggers, averagebloggers, or what have you, looked like. So results might not be typical of the entire blogosphere.

Picture of the Day

   A dragonfly I took a picture of on Sunday. Taking a picture of a dragonfly in flight is rather difficult with a camera that has a long shutter delay d= Full report on Sunday's adventure coming eventually.. maybe tomorrow?

Very nice dragonfly.

Dragonfly

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Any idea what kind it might be?

Re: Dragonfly

[ashael.livejournal.com]

I'm not too good in insects, especially not foreign ones. But it looks like a common species we have here. I would have to check.

Re: Dragonfly

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

there were also little blue ones about. Two little blue ones were mating.

Re: Dragonfly

[ashael.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Are you sure? I thought the blue ones and the red ones are the two sexes of the same species. I will have to look into this.

Re: Dragonfly

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

ah at one point I had that theory as well... maybe what I thought was mating was actually a blue one shedding its skin or something?

In other news, we could use some zoological expertise here
