Wow, that's in our food??

Instead of doing my networking homework this evening, I wasted my time on StumbleUpon.com. Nothing out of the ordinary, and then this article popped up on the screen...

Seriously, some of the things we intake make me not want to eat, and I love food more than anybody. Time to pay closer attention to what we're eating and do some research on local, organic products!

-___- I have humans. And it's terminal.

Okay, so I stumbled on this comic last night, and I thought it was humorous.

>>>>WARNING: There is explicit dialog from The Moon<<<<

This isn't my comic, if I could change the language I would. Once you click on the link, it'll take you to the site to see it. Maybe you'll get a kick out of it like Ryan & I did. :]

Circle Timeee

I decided to do this project later in the evening, and I did so on the lower level of my backyard; Many of the things I observed were not necessarily discovered by sight, but more so by the sense of hearing. As I sat on our deck beneath the stars, overhead I heard a few owls, what I am assuming to be bats, and other night birds on their daily hunt. In the "forest" behind the yard, I heard lots of crickets playing their evening symphony. I'm sure had I gone into the forest, I would have discovered a few more animals scurrying about, but quite frankly, I'm way to big of a sis to go in there alone at night. Haha.

I checked my pool, there were no ducks in it tonight. I did see a couple of our big, orange dragonflies swooping about. They're such neat insects.

As I sat down there, my cat came and kept me some company. I'm sure he saw more things than I did, as he was running around chasing anything that moved (bugs, field mice, leaves). I discovered that there were a number of spider webs delicately placed between the trees, and in between chair legs. I searched with my flashlight, but I couldn't seem to locate any owners for a photo op. ;/ I did however walk through one on accident on my way back up the stairs to the house, and thankfully there was no spider attached to it. As I approached the house, I found some moths dancing in the light, but that was about it.

Night Sky :]

Tuskani being Nosey

The web with no owner. He caught some leaves for dinner.

Blog Numero Uno

Hello! My name is Analeigh Sanchez & this is my first blog entry for Dr. Huff's Environmental Science Class at RCC. :]

Let's see... I'm a biology major, though I'm not sure as to what specific area of bio I'd like to go into. I am going to school at MSJC in Menifee & then taking Evo Sci at RCC. I went to school for Culinary Arts at RCC in 2008 and graduated with my certificate in 2009. Once I finish with my GE I'll have my AS in Cul Arts and then I'll transfer to a 4year university to get my BA in biology. I'm pretty excited to finish up, I think I have two semesters left at the community college level before I can transfer into upper division.

I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades. I have three jobs currently - Termin8 Pest Control as a secretary, MVP Studios as a photographer & Leoness Cellars Winery as a Tour Hostess . I love being busy and don't mind (usually...) working seven days a week. I have worked in a couple of restaurants as a line cook and I've managed a number of holiday sets (If you need pictures with Santa or the Easter Bunny, I'm the girl to talk to. Haha)

Hmmm. Fun facts? I love baking and cooking, I try to do it once a week if I can. My favourite colour is green. I read the HP series for the first time this year. I have 2 cats, Tuskani & Ricotta. I'd love to live near the beach. I don't drink out of plastic water bottles and I'm trying super hard to remember my resuable bags when I go shopping. I am gonna plant a vegetable garden in my backyard while it's still warm. :D

I tried the ecological footprint thing at myfootprint.org and I was a little surprised at the results. http://myfootprint.org/en/your_results/?id=1504095

I'm gonna do the survey again at the end of the term and hopefully I will have made enough changes to lessen the number significantly. :] I was interested in taking this course to see what we could do to make enough little changes in our daily life that will help our environment as a whole. I'm excited to see what the term will bring :]
