I need to find my cowboy icons

Quiz one down, which means I got out of Latin an hour and a half early, which I should probably be spending studying for my geology test, which shall be followed up by a geology quiz and then a field trip + lab, and then geology is done for the term (!) and I have one day of Latin left, which shall be spent in movie mode. Also possibly entirely on campus since the Idiot Ford is still down for the count and I'm not comfortable driving the 4-Runner in non-disaster situations.

In truly exciting news, three of my issues have gotten hit today, one of them spillover from last night, the other one spillover from yesterday morning, the other one the recurring Asian Angst which shows up now and then. Only one of them I'm comfortable talking about in public, mostly because it gets me pissed off instead of in tears, and isn't quite as personal as the others. Also I will not be talking about it right now because now is not really the time to bitch about how city slickers DO NOT UNDERSTAND the rodeo culture that exists in farming-and-ranching country, especially since I don't have the book I'm reading at hand and also...studying.

Also I am debating checking out books from the university library on the Punic Wars and English dairy culture from 1500-1800, because I intend to be the first historian to combine military history and agricultural history! Which are actually much more linked than one might think! (The British desire for beefsteak to feed the army/navy = the development of the beef cow = the end of the multipurpose cow = the beginning of the specialized cow = why beef cows and dairy cows are entirely different animals.) I am strong with my country roots right now. (The two books are, uh, entirely unrelated.)

omg do y'all see the "choose random icon" button in the post field now? COOL

I want to share what has become my ideal Tirian song for Dust: You Can't Lose Them All. I have a different cover of it, but oh.

I could go up in history
I could go up in smoke
Be the center of attention
Or the butt of every joke
But every time I get shot down
I justify the risk
Because I come a little closer
To a hit with every miss
You can't lose them all

Yes. Yes, this is the only YouTube video I could find for the song. I...I don't even know who that skunk is, guys.

I have three-quarters of the lyrics matched up with scenes from Dust! I like vidding in my head. a little fortune cookie told me help is on the way is the opening scene from Dust 1, of course.
