sorrowmonkeyThis morning has been a series of small shocks...
Oh, last night I found out that fall classes for Quinnipiac part-timers are Monday and Wednesday, 6-10pm, and Thursdays, 6-8pm. In the spring, apparently the short day is on Tuesday instead of Thursday. Also, apparently in most of the classes, the final exam is 100% of the grade. A little scary, but to be fair, that's pretty much how the Bar works.
I opened the back door to get dog food; I looked up, and there was a gigantic turkey and a couple of chicks. I unfortunately didn't get the camera in time, but the chicks were so cute.
Next, I read that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
parsedgarnish indulged in "squee." To be fair, our copy of Han Aapke Hain Koun is coming next week.
Finally, the headline on My Yahoo is that al-Zarqawi is dead. Good riddance to another rat bastard in the world.
It does sort of make me trepidatious to leave the house though. It's getting difficult for "my poor nerves," and I may have to indulge in "twichings and flutterings" if it keeps up.

Date: 2006-06-08 04:44 pm (UTC)I did know that there are peacocks, peahens and peachicks, but I hadn't known the right word for baby 'ittle turkey chicks
Re: Thats fab!
Date: 2006-06-08 05:13 pm (UTC)Really, it's almost a cop-out as a baby-bird name.

Date: 2006-06-08 07:19 pm (UTC)heh
it's a shorten form of the word pullet apparently
how's that language geekness?
Re: Thats fab!
Date: 2006-06-08 07:34 pm (UTC)Pullet, is undoubtedly from the French/Latin. So what we have at the end of the day is that a baby turkey is called "Little Bird".
But I suppose that's consistent with 'chicks' from 'Chickens'.
Ah - language.
