Gah! Kawaiiiiii!

Baby pygmy goats on Animal Channel.

1 week old.

Hopping all over, cuz that's what baby pygmy goats do. They're the size of cats, and they hop like they're on springs. 2 foot fence? Nuthin if there's a box next to it, they can hop up and over. And their little tails wag really fast. And they nibble on stuff. Dammit. I want baby pygmies now.

In other news, I just scored the holy grail: a 12 month prescription instead of the usual 6-months-and-then-we-want-to-see-your-blood-pressure-diary prescription. In spring of 2002, the normal readings were in the neighborhood of 130/80. Now I'm averaging about 122/76, and frequently as low as 117/72 and still dropping. Awwwww yeah.

Just Too Strange:

Mom just IM'd me.

Mom: Hey, girl, what's goin' on?
[Mom's userpic pops up. It is a picture of an alien. A small gray alien, to be specific. It looks like Thor.]
Me: Hey.
Me: Eeek!
Me: Your userpic! It's an alien!

Then I pointed out that if word gets out, I might get teased on the playground: "Yeah, your momma's an alien!"

I thank [livejournal.com profile] ladybird97 for that idea, because she came up with it earlier today in a different context. If that isn't convergent fangirldom, I don't know what is.

Other weird things from mom: "I'm dabbling in necromancy. Or maybe narcolepsy. I forget which."

Oooooookay, Mom, I thought the Asgard did really really fancy genetics, but maybe I heard wrong....
