I'm doing the money dance

[cornerofmadness]

I got 1,450$ to go towards my convention from faculty development. Woo-hoo. Now I only have to put forth about 600$ of my own money to go to San Antonio. I'll make my arrangements this weekend.

Simple writing challenge to recharge your batteries I'm doing it. Anyone want to join me??

Snow Festival with a Vader theme! I love you, Japan!

Speaking of my love for you, Japan, Fox village. seta_suzume have you been here? If you go, TAKE ME. Why do I have no kitsune shifters?

And still with Japan here, Death Note Musical. The first song is surprisingly good.

Some of you may have seen this send up of The Bachelor Did you know New Mexico is in a different country & and even more about it with Gifs That's right, the people on this show are SO dumb they don't know it's a state, can't spell Santa Fe (it is so hard) and Santa Fe didn't do much favors for itself either by spending 50K to bring the show there.



Best ad ever.

I WANT TO GO TO THE FOX VILLAGE. Wait, I WANT TO OPEN A FOX VILLAGE.

And I have that first picture somewhere on my hard drive. It's good to know where it comes from.

Yay for money!

And that commercial makes me cry. Roger Miller singing Oo-De-Lally? All those cute animals? Robin Hood Reference? BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. Why do I not have a fox village?

different 'people' getting along in peace and love? tears up.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Because we don't have the money to adopt a lot of foxes to run around and entertain us? Hey, how much land does Grandma's house come with?

And yes, we certainly should learn something from all the 'dumb' animals.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not enough. the parents however have enough

yeah though today I saw videos of cats eating dogs. I realize cats are assholes

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*plots more*

Ewwwww. I don't want to know, I'm sure.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

a tiny kitten beating up a pitbull which was funny at first but the pleading looks of 'make it stop' started to morph into real stress on the dog. The kitten gave zero fucks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

And real stress leads to biting, and the dog being blamed for someone not taking the kitten away...

Yeah, I wouldn't like that, either.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah. The dog was playing at first but by the end they should have separated them.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hopefully they did before anything bad happened.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the kitten wandered off

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I figured something happened.

wooooot!

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

congrats on the moolah!

and I love the video - sweet sweet :)

Re: wooooot!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah it'll really help.

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

addendum: you need this, so here ya go :)

You're right I do. I can watch dancers all day long

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

that's that same dancer you had up the other day. I've been watching one or two of his each morning, working my way through his repertoire (most are kinda meh) but this one is really good and so different from the jazzy suit and hat routine

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yes it is. I had been following the other guy I posted. This one is fun. The SF novel I'm working on right now, this boy has the right build for Kaleo (and me, I've always liked the whip-thin boys)

[seta-suzume.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that you got that money toward the convention!

All kinds of fun Japan stuff here...!

AAAAAAAAH I KNOW IT'S SO CUTE!!! I haven't been there YET!! But I am really going to try and go in May because I'll be in that prefecture for the first time! We've been trying to figure out how to get there and it looks like we may have to take an expensive cab ride out from the nearest train station BUT I DON'T CARE

I wish you and ELD could go too!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

me too.

It's so cute. If you ever do go I'd love to know how they take car e of the foxes, are there scientific studies going on etc.

We wish we could too

[seta-suzume.livejournal.com]

If I do make it there, I'll see what I can find out! (they have a very low-key website all in Japanese (http://www12.plala.or.jp/zao-fox/index.html), but there are more cute pictures on the blog (http://blue.ap.teacup.com/zao-fox/))

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

WHY is there a goat?

I'm in love with that blue-grey fox. thanks for these.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Same reason there's a bunny - petting zoo!

The blue grey fox with the white ruff? That looks like one of the Russian domesticated foxes. They come in some interesting colors, and are kind of marked like Border Collies.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That could be true

yes that's the one. Pretty

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Bunnies and goats and all the other little critters can be petted easier than a pack of foxes, too. I'd think.

I've also seen a calico fox for sale here in Indiana (where I guess it's legal to breed foxes?).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

or eat but yeah probably

interesting. I wouldn't know. I've seen peopel with pet foxes

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm not sure they'd show the cute little food animals. That might be too much even for Japan.

Link (http://www.tinytracksexoticanimals.com/fox.html) to the Indiana farm.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

True

this has cured me of ever wanting a fox. thank you. The calico is lovely but I really like the silver I'm curious why no beef

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Possibly too rich of a meat for them? They're kind of omniverous, and eat as much fruit and veggies as they do meat, as I recall.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hmm possibly. There were too many ways this could go wrong for me. Still, they're beautiful

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

They are. And, of course, in the back of my head, I'm thinking, 'WILD ANIMAL RESCUE. FOXES. LOTS OF FOXES. YESSSSS.'

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there's that

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That has always been a dream of mine, since Dr. C was bringing in her wild rescues to class.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

right

[seta-suzume.livejournal.com]

It looks like the people who run the place help take care of some other animals around the area. I was surprised too.

You're welcome!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah ELD posted a video on FB. They have goats and bunnies

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'll send you money to get me a souvenir if you do go! Seriously! I want a Japanese kitsune!

(I have two tiny ones that my friend got me while she was living in Japan, little porcelain foxes.)

[seta-suzume.livejournal.com]

Certainly! I'll let you know closer to my trip to be sure

(awww, that's so nice- I bet they're cute!)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :D

(They're very cute. About the size of the first joint of my thumb. One's sleeping, and one's standing.)

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

FOX VILLAGE!!!!!!!! Now I want to go there! All those little fox faces!!!

Last night I saw that ad for the first time I squeed and tweeted "bestest most favorite commercial ever!"

:)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I know! Isn't that village the best? Foxes are so cute (the one motivation I have in wanting a corgi, they kinda look like foxes)

It IS the best commercial in a very long time.
