The Jason Brisco Myth

We've had, what? Four false alarms now of Jason Brisco, a big-shot for Jamba Juice. It's almost as if he's some myth we use to frighten the Trainees. Almost as if it's an "end of the world" analogy so we better shape up really quick or we'll be thrust to hell for not having everything in our store perfect.

"Jason Brisco's coming! NO! REALLY! HE IS THIS TIME!" Watch this, the time he comes we won't be prepared at all. That's when I'm going to be laughing, REALLY hard.

Isn't it great to find out that your corperate giants are breaking promises over and over again to visit the store they have said they were going to visit FOUR TIMES?! Yeah, I find it comforting. Kinda makes me wonder if they'll follow through on everything else.

Pardon me, but I have to spit out the toothpaste in my mouth . . .

So much accomplished, so much more to do!

Just got back from my "marathon." The only things I forgot to get was an attachment and/or compressor for my Airbrush and the Bonsai Tree Kit. I have a feeling those can wait until next paycheck though.

Picked up about a dozen dinosaur books from the library, snitched one from Waldens (mostly to laugh at, they have dinosaurs listed as reptiles and somehow got birds smooshed with them despite the fact that reptiles are COLD-blooded critters, anyway!) as well as a "how to draw comics" type book. Picked up another dinosaur book at Costco along with a bird book and one about dogs, harr, managed to triple my collection of dinosaur books as I only had one, "Dinosaur Heresies" by Robert Baaker (exceptionally good!).

Found that the MCC at RM bookstore was closed so I couldn't get Mom's software, shall see what I can do tomorrow or Thursday, gah, dental appointment tomorrow, curse them, I don't want to be told I need to have my wisdom teeth removed! Anyway, snidged some milk and cough drops from costco as well and arrived back here about 20 minutes ago, yay, now I shall edit my lightrail paper (Dikkers felt bad no one got an A and is allowing us to edit the papers and turn them in again tomorrow, YAY!), after that I'll be re-doing my german homework as I seem to have lost it and then I'll attack the Kashian website for an hour or so, after that I'll delve into some research and sacrafice some sheets of paper as bookmarks and highlight the crap out of the books I just bought and see what I can do about making "The Dinosaur Heresies" neon.

Yes, busy day, must set off and do stuff now! Hurra for not having "work" today!

That was productive

Got some of the info pages started for the Kashian site (for those brave enough, you can roam it HERE). Finished typing Part Five and started on Six for To Taste Freedom. I'll be having a shower now, headaches aren't fun. I think I'll attempt to come up with a few more species for Chmairah being as I only have one dinosaur species created. Hmm, while I'm at it I may actually come up with a name for the six-limbs and create some more of those. Oh, or I could start on that pic request and the Kierr picture for my protfolio concentration. Or I could just go to bed because my headache seems to be intensifying, maybe the shower will help.

So, yeah, alles klar. Have a ton of Dinosaur books to go through, yes. Wish I had more days without "work" so I can be productive like this!

Aren't reptiles cold-blooded?

That's what I'd like to know. In three of the books I bought (note: only two were specifically on Dinosaurs, the other was about Birds), they said that dinosaurs are reptiles. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't reptiles classified as cold-blooded, scaled, egg-laying animals? eh, eh? Well? Aren't they? It seems that they've managed to forget the definition being as dinosaurs, judging by a whole gaggle of evidence were WARM-blooded, egg-laying animals. I don't say scaled because not all of them had scales, that's right! Some of them had feathers! Foofy fluff and the "real" thing as well!

So why not just give up and throw dinosaurs in their own Class? It'd make sense now wouldn't it? They're not reptiles, not mammals, nor fish, nor insects. They're dinosaurs! I can't say they're not birds because some were ultimately bird-like and the descendents of our fabulous feathered friends of today! Thus it makes me curious as to how in the world people would still toss dinosaurs into reptilia. *sigh.* Okay, I think I may write a letter. Really, they must be lazy or something because it can't be THAT hard to note that they're not reptiles, but their own defined class because reptiles are COLD-blooded, meaning that they can't regulate their own body temperature whereas dinosaurs were WARM-blooded and fully capable of controlling their body temperature either via covering, heat created by muscle movement, or the energy produced by the body.

So there's my rant. I could have sworn that ALL reptiles are cold-blooded, but woo! Those books are just too advanced for me! I didn't know they could be warm-blooded beasts as well!

*rant rant rant.*
