The test results from the vet specialist are back, and basically confirm what the tests from Adobe said. There doesn’t appear to be any sort of external reason why his kidneys are going bad, unfortunately. The vet started him on a new blood pressure medication, he’s going to continue on his old one (it apparently helps with kidney protein loss,) and he’s also taking aspirin and fish oil. Feeding him in the mornings has suddenly become quite an ordeal. But hopefully this will help him. We’re going to re-check his blood levels in a month and go from there. For these reasons, you may find my flickr stream a bit Enzo-heavy. Hope y’all don’t mind.

I spent Saturday afternoon cleaning up my ultra-dirty apartment. I didn’t bother cleaning the floors, though, seeing as the instant Enzo comes in from the wet backyard, the tiles are covered in tiny muddy paw prints. Saturday night we saw Children of Men which was all right, but very, very bleak. It also had the most abrupt ending I’ve ever seen in a movie. It’s almost like they were shooting the final scene, and just ran out of film or something.

Sunday Enzo had an adventure on the Stanford campus. I had to try really hard to keep him from peeing on the artwork in the Rodin Sculpture Garden.

Sunday evening a bunch of us went bowling. My first game I scored a 60, and my second game I scored a 126. Consistent, I ain’t. Afterwards, I had a near meat faux-pas when we decided to have pho for dinner. I spaced out and ordered my usual lean steak pho, thinking nothing of it. Some of my friends had ordered spring rolls, and when they came, I thought to myself that I couldn’t eat them because they had shrimp in them and OH CRAP. Luckily, they hadn’t made my order yet, so I was able to change it to vegetarian pho, which was actually really tasty.

Earlier in the weekend I went to Target and purchased Rayman Raving Rabbids. I didn’t open it right away, so imagine my surprise when Saturday night, as I opened the case, I found not a Wii game, but a clear plastic CD thing, like you get in spindles of CD-Rs. I took it back to Target the next day and fortunately was able to exchange it for an actual copy of the game. Interestingly, the woman at the electronics counter said she’d heard of that happening before. Weird. I played some last night and unlocked 20 of the minigames. It’s very very fun, especially the FPS games.

Edit:
Forgot to say that I climbed my first 11a and my first V2 last Thursday. Woo!
