been home for a week, and will be in seattle in a week.
well, i finished my internship last friday. i'm glad i did it. it's hard work. gives me a huge appreciation for machines and people who farm for a living.
in my dreams, i always said i'd like to have a sanctuary on my potential farm, and hooboy is taking care of animals hard work. the animals part was harder work than the plants. if we do save some lives, it'll have to only be one species, and scott really likes chickens, so we'd likely gravitate toward them. we also would not have any roosters. (for one, that'd mean the eggs are fertilized, and so it squicks both myself and scott out that when people use eggs from small organic farms with roosters, they're eating genuine potential baby chickies instead of just an ovulation that'd be discarded otherwise. also, boy oh boy was mr. chatterbox an asshole.
the duck house and sheep house got gross so incredibly quickly. ugh! if we have a pond and ducks come to visit, and possibly decide to live there for a while, that's fine. but i will not have a house for them. they'll just have to take their chances with predators. (but chances are the farm'll be surrounded by fencing, and it'll also most likely be urban/suburban. not rural, so far less likely to harbor predators anyway. but ohboy, foxes are oh so adorable.)
in other news, we're going to seattle and portland next week. i'm reeeeeally excited. i can't wait to try mighty-o donuts, and go to sweetpea (and the other shops in the vegan mini-mall) i'm afraid once i go to vegan mecca, i might not want to come back. (at least the employment opportunities are lacking out in PDX, so that's one thing to come back here for.) if you're out there and wanna meet up, lemme know! yay!
and finally, i have a facebook account. i don't feel comfortable linking to it from here, especially in a public post, so if you know my name, you can find me. or feel free to send me a private message with your account, and i'll add you that way.
also, the podcast has a page. http://www.facebook.com/veganreview
(also, i made a twitter account for my coupon habit. http://twitter.com/vegancoupons)
