I could use a little cheering up

[cornerofmadness]

So hit me with story/art recs, funny links, etc. I'm beginning to think teaching is the stupidest thing I could ever have done. I know we all feel pointless in our jobs from time to time but today was bad. It was the nurses first test in anatomy and physiology and it was the basic cell stuff, diffusion/active transport, organelles, what's a carb/lipid/protein, stuff I learned in SIXTH grade. 69% class average (and that's with 2 people getting 100% if that gives you an idea of how bad these people did). AND I gave the same test to my majors, only harder but still review considering they have to have a full year of biology and most have had a full year of chemistry under their belts. In a class of 9 I had 3 100% and 3 failures (and the rest were all over the a-c range). WTF? I'm gonna be a doctor. No, you surely fucking are not. You're going to be nothing if you can't retain shit a fifth grader should know.

bah. enough of that.

My parents ended up in some strange hotels on their trip. The one in Fort Ticongaroga was very 1970s but check out the fireplace IN their room.



And it's Alban Elfed/Mabon. So have a lovely autumnal equinox. It's beautiful here.

Watch on YouTube

And he FINALLY got up the steampunk pictures. Mine came out (even if I AM sweaty-faced).



And here are all the photos. meet the Airship Athena

There three states that never disappoint me when it comes to the absolutely crazy people that live there, AZ, FL and OH (Texas is a close fourth and IN did have the guy who ate his girlfriend last week). I bring you Total Recall anyone? And this doctor should lose his license. It IS unethical.

Oh and Happy Birthday to adeliedreams & corposant. Hope your days were good.

New eggs. Thanks to 0_mother_0 for the orange one. hey caught another one.

wow, where to start?? I love the pics. You look great and so HAPPY in your steampunk pic. And poor boob woman is obviously mentally ill (and needed required counseling before her procedure -which shouldn't have happened)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Your photo came out great!

...I want the fireplace. I could roast a body, I mean, a deer in there.

I have no idea what to say to your students. That's pretty sad.

Happy Mabon!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it did, thanks

Yeah no kidding. I want it too

I thought that was bad until my coworker showed me her scores for her nursing class. the average was 41%, Kanda could do better.

and same to you

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I was sitting in front of a giant sasparilla dispenser, who wouldn't be happy?

exactly. She obviously has some form of body dimorphism and it IS on the doctors to make her seek counseling before a procedure like that

I know how thorough your 30’s research is, so you’ve probably seen these, but in my attempt to cheer you up I thought they might amuse you:

Not specifically 30’s but might appeal to the medic in you:

You look marvellous in your costume, BTW…

[rahirah]

Very cool photo!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*huggles I LOVE your steampunk outfit!! It's awesoem!! :D

I'm sorry your students have forgotten everything they learned in 5th & 6th grade. XD As scary & sad as that is, it could be worse... they could get the same results from an open book test. ^^;

What would you like me to draw for you? :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you very much

these students terrify me some days and you're right.

Aw, you don't have to but whatever you like is fine. Soma or Agni is good

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :D

I'll bet! XD *nods*


But I want to to! :D Soma & Agni sound like fun! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you. I appreciate those. I'll look them over. they're pretty helpful looking

and thanks. I ran out of time to finish my steampunk jewelry, go me

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and now i have to fill out 'you're failing my class' paperwork...

Well thank you then. Yeah I think Black Butler is one of the few fandoms we have in common

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

XD


You're welcome. Yeah. If there's something else you'd like better, that's okay, as long as I can find a ref pic or two I can draw it. It doesn't have to be from a fandom I like/know. :D

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Your college students kind of scare me.

[dragonydreams.livejournal.com]

Looking good! There were some great costumes at that event.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I thought so. Thanks

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no kidding

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

No that's fine. I love Soma and Agni. (I am still wondering if there was ever a colored version of the one of Soma bare chested and dripping with jewels

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

You sure? Me too! The one of him in the lotus pool? *wonders if there's a Soma pic out there I haven't seen* XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. I like Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye from FMA too but Soma is fine.

yes that's the one Imean

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Okay. I thought you liked Roy/Riza, but with most of my f-list liking Roy/Ed, I wasn't sure if I wrong about it or not. ^^;

Okay, I'll have fun with Soma. :D


Oh! I've only seen other people color it in & that's at DA. I don't get why people do it & then act like they this awesome artist cuz they did something most lil kids can do. XD And people praise them too like they're an artistic genius. o.0 I generally report them, cuz I doubt the manga-ka is doing a collab with them. Especially since the same panel often appears numerous time with different peeps adding color. >.>

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah I love Roy/Riza. I don't write much slash (in spite of what I write professionally) Roy/Maes is about it that I do on a regular basis (and when I was active in Saiyuki but there really aren't canon ships per se other than the highly suggestive yaoi ones).

Enjoy Soma.

Oh geez, yeah. I do have the b&w on my office door

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

They do scare me.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, the story about the woman with three breasts is a hoax, per Snopes.com. I can't help but think of the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6 from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* While not really being into the fandom, I have to say, I personally like Roy/Riza over Roy/Ed. But that's just me. I find them a bit easier to write.

Thanks! :D I might even play with him now. :D


Yeah. Awesomeness!! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

definitely. I don't really see Roy/Ed at all but I have a lot of friends who enjoy it. Each to their own.

Have fun with it!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh well that's good to know (way to go News reporters, great vetting of your articles)

that too, I forgot about her.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they should

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* Exactly. I'm sure I have peeps on my flist who don't care for my pairings & I don't mind at all as long as everyone plays nicely together. ;p

Thanks!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and usually those who can't don't stay on my list long

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

*nods* I feel the same way.

[scratchingpost1.livejournal.com]

I love your photo. You look great in that color!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you
