The difference a day makes
I got to see The Colbert Report yesterday, and I'm in love with Stephen Colbert. The real one. He's a TOTAL NERD. Before each show, he comes out to answer questions not in character. I was a little embarrassed at the silence my question generated, but I had to know if he was seriously going to be the POTUS in the new Avengers movie series. He said he'd love that, and then told us a story about how he got Captain America's shield up on his wall. I breathed a sigh of relief that I wasn't the nerdiest person in the room when Colbert, asked to name his favorite LOTR character, went into a long tangent about events in The Silmarillion. (As he put it, he lost half the audience talking LOTR, but you lose 99% of people when you talk about The Silmarillion.) Anyway, the real Stephen Colbert is, like, the awesomest, nicest nerd person who is famous.
The show was good, too. :P
I also found out today that the AC&C in NYC (that's "Animal Care and Control") does, in fact, want to interview me to volunteer. Volunteering, besides the GRE, is the last bit of polish my application (hopefully next year!) for veterinary school needs. To be super-awesome for that, I should, like, go shadow vets in the city. Still working up to that one. It takes a lot of chutzpah to go into a clinic and ask to follow a vet around. It does if you're me, I mean. I blushed so hard asking Stephen Colbert a question--that he solicited! Imagine how well I do asking people for favors who aren't really looking to give any out. I get so, so red. So first step, get in good with AC&C. Second step: ??? Third Step: vet school!
