Five Best Expository theme songs

Lyrical theme songs have always been the casual viewer's gateway into

5. Greg the Bunny

"This ain't your Daddy's puppet show." While the song doesn't quite capture the tone of the show, it deftly explains why all these socks are walking around.

4. EVERY cartoon from the 80s and 90s

There's too many great examples to list them all, but here are the creme de la creme.

3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Oh yes, you knew this was coming. Will Smith has never been so perfect as he is here.

2. Jack of All Trades

This was EMMY NOMINATED. It lost to The West Wing, by the way.

1.  Mystery Science Theater 3000

Literally everything you need to know to understand the characters and what the hell is going on in this bizarre-ass show. The trend continued in later seasons, even as the cast and basic story line changed. Way to go MST3K!

Tails from the Vet: Cat$hit crazy

When a cat projectile shitting up a wall is the high point, you know it's a bad day.

Thanks internet.

Okay, it was only a comparatively high point during the final hour of work, but I'm getting ahead of myself. 

Yesterday I had a slow day, according to the books. A few neuters (one of the easiest surgeries), my cat was coming in for her checkup (she behaved herself and was cuddled) and a few other random things. No biggie. Even when the day became super busy, my college and I found free periods where we watched 90% of last year's Carrie remake. It was fine, by the by.

Then...THEY came.

I took a phone call from a woman with a sick kitten. Being a concerned tech (with almost an hour to kill before the night ended) I advised her we were open and to bring it in.

I can't go into specifics lest I be discovered, but this woman was crazy. She smelled. Her mom smelled. The kitten smelled. The WHOLE CLINIC smelled. My pregnant coworker had to excuse herself, lest she vomit on the clients.

Then after the kitten was helped, THE WOULDN'T GO. I'd gotten my wish in a monkey's-paw way; the last hour was vanishing, but in a haze of stink and insanity. This woman was the definition of a crazy cat lady; many cats that stunk, but were well taken care of so we couldn't call anyone.

Things degenerated after the doctor got caught leaving his office; a rant about black people murdering another vet if he became a detective. Why didn't we have the brand of food another vet had. Why didn't we tape our cards to the medicine packs. I can't remember everything, nor do I want to.

By the time they left we had juuuust enough time to do our closing tasks and spray some air freshener. We did everything short of calling in a priest to rid the clinic of that smell.

But you know what? IT STILL BEATS WORKING FOR MY LAST BOSS! HAHAHAHHAAA!

Five excited gifs

In honor of this amazing geek week, here are five ultra-excited gifs!

Harley Quinn news!

Harley Quinn is FINALLY on her way to the big screen!

That's it in a nutshell

Margot Robbie, last seen as Leonardo DiCaprio's 2nd wife in The Wolf of Wall Street (and other things, but I who cares, WOLF OF WALL STREET!) will play Harley Quinn in DCs upcoming Suicide Squad movie. As a fan of Harley Quinn I'm very excited. I enjoyed her work in Wolf, and I think she's a superb choice to bring the Joker's Gal to the big screen.

Harley is a long time fan favorite. People have wanted her in the live-action movies for twenty years. I couldn't be happier that it's finally happening.

She's a doctor, a gymnast, a devoted (and battered) girlfriend, and INSANE. While no one can replace Arleen Sorkin, I think Ms. Robbie is a fine choice to bring Harley to life.

Aww yeeeahhh

So in short: HARLEY HARLEY HARLEEEEEEEEEY!

Ash vs. Evil Dead

Yesterday the AMAZING news of the new Evil Dead TV series starring Bruce Campbell broke. Next year, Sam Raimi will bring the deadites back to the screen with an aged Ash who “has been avoiding maturity, responsibility, and the deadites for 30 years.”

Needless to day, I’m excited.

This is the correct excitement level.

The internet is abuzz with the news. People are speculating about where the story will go: will we see the car? Will Ash still work at S-Mart? Will is be set in Michigan? I hope the answers are all a big yes, but even if they aren't, who cares, NEW EVIL DEAD SERIES! FIVE HOURS OF EVIL DEAD AND ASH WILLIAMS! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm not the only one who is excited!

It's going to be out next year, so there's plenty of time to geek out and speculate. For now, I'm just happy hearing that it's happening. :D

Sailor Moon Crystal: So far

I've posted before about how much I like Sailor Moon and how I'm excited about the new anime, Sailor Moon Crystal: I own all the mangas and watched a good portion of it in the 90s when the first incarnation of the anime aired.

Now that we're a few episodes in, and the main plot is really rolling, I can say I LOVE Sailor Moon Crystal.

It's much more like the manga than the 90s series. No more filler episodes with comedic monsters-of-the-week. No more useless Sailor Moon crying and having the other scouts/Tuxedo Mask save her. Granted, that does happen, but she also saves people, and her worth as a person isn't questioned.

I'm not a huge fan of Sailor Moon's voice, but as it's the original Japanese actress, I can understand the casting. She's not terrible by any means, just a smidgen high-pitched for my tastes.

I'm really enjoying the more serious tone. The romance feels more natural, and the crises Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts are going through actually make me feel something other than annoyed. It's a win.

There are plenty of people who will fight tooth and nail with me, due to nostalgia or a sense of 'Only real fans like the old version'. These people are jerks. You can like any version of Sailor Moon and be a 'real' fan, without giving a crap about the other versions. There's more than manga and the two animes: Movies, live action stage shows, live action TV shows, and several long-running musicals. Long live Sailor Moon!

Five Things I've Learned at the vet

Working as a Vet Tech has been an enlightening experience. Here are a few of the most interesting things I've learned so far.

5. Worms are shaped like lemons

To be specific, Whipworms (a problem found in dogs) look like brown lemons under a microscope. I've also seen roundworms, but they are literally just circles.

Brown, ugly lemons.

This isn't exactly useful knowledge without a microscope and a fecal sample. Luckily, I have access to those things.

Often more than I want.

4. Big dogs are usually better patients.

Little dogs, in my experience, are far worse patients. They're more likely to snap and kick than their bigger counterparts. Not that all big dogs are good: I nearly got bitten by an escape artist yesterday that got out of his muzzle three times.

This, but life size.

And there are little dogs that are sweethearts. But if I've got two dogs of different sizes, usually the little one will be the bigger ass.

3. Accidents happen, but not that often

I've cleaned up spilled pee on average less than once a day at my location. Poop even less, especially outside our kennels. It does happen, so don't feel bad about your animal having an accident. Just know it's not as common as you've been led to think.

Yes, we lie. But look at that face! He's been punished enough.

2. We will try and upsell you (for the greater good)

There are things I'm encouraged to sell at the hospital: post-surgery canned food, extra IV fluids, and a host of medicine. And they are all very good products. Many of our techs use the very items we recommend to you. If your tech says something is 'highly recommended', LISTEN. An extra $10 now means Fido or Fluffy are going to recover faster, with less pain, or just be happier. We're not trying to scam you.

These scrubs mean business!

1. Don't be offended

We had a crazy cat lady (the official term) come in for over an hour to discuss what kind of medication her cats needed for itching. When my coworker named fleas as a possible cause, the woman started screaming. She also complained about us not being able to diagnose the cats sight unseen, and not having a non-existent product that would "Kill EVERYTHING that could possibly harm my cats!"

Don't be offended if we can't help without seeing the animal. Don't be offended if we suggest the animal may have fleas. We're not judging you or saying you're a bad owner, I promise. Just don't act like we're there to screw you over and we'll get along fine.
