500th Entry!

Actually, I can't believe how long it's taken me to make 500 entries - a year and a half. Five hundred entries of rubbish. Yay! And now, for your viewing pleasure, another entry filled entirely with rubbish (and some baby animals):

Last nights screening was very, very cool and I was in bed by one o' clock so I wasn't too sleep deprived this morning. Which is good.

I saw this article in yesterdays Independant about an experiment in which Russian foxes were bred for forty years to be tame. It was originally for a fur farm where it's obviously an advantage for the animals to be calm and used to humans. After many generations, the foxes are really tame and apparently are as good as a dog at reading human body language and better than chimpanzees! Some of them have developed markings like a Border Collie. And look at the kits!



I want one!

Also, I got an email today to tell me that I've got an interview next Wednesday for one of the PhDs I've applied for. PANIC MODE!!!!! I need to do some reading. I'm not sure what to do really - whether to bother going up to Manchester to use their library or not.

Oh, they look so sweet. That link to the markings - wow, they really do look like strange Border Collies. And clearly, they are smart, to seem more dog-like. Because dogs are our best friends, and all.

Yay! ::crosses fingers for you::

Aren't they cute! The picture of them combined with my baby blue and pink journal is making me feel vaguely nauseous actually. So. much. cute.

Thanks!

I missed celebrating my 500th entry, so go you for remembering!! :)

Those foxes are so cute!! :) I think I had a minor heart attack caused by their complete cuteness. I want one too.

Good luck on the interview. You'll do fine, I'm sure.

Heh. I happened to look the other week and I was on four hundred and ninety something so that's the only reason I remembered!

I'd love one! Apparently they're pretty stinky though.

and thanks!
