| I'm so sorry that I have not been updating! So here you go!
[mood|  weird]
[noise| Will and Grace ]
A few things:
- I want two hermit crabs and an African clawed frog.
- I got trashed last night on Mexican tequila that McKenna brought home with her.
- I want to go back to school already.
- When the score of a show that you have seen performed twice and been listening to for over 7 years can still give you goosebumps, you know it's good.
- I'm going to start a little contest here on my journal. I'm going to write down some quotes from movies, tv, musicals, comedians, whatever and if you can guess them then you will win my eternal love and respect. If no one's getting them, I'll give hints to the origin/ additional quotes to help. So here goes:
"Evil, thy name is Ooey."
"Maybe in China, 'lemon' means 'dirt'."
"You were flirting with the girl in rubber!"
"You're stupid." "No! I'm sexy!" "No. You're stupid!"
"So there I was, on the side of the road getting handcuffed in my captain's hat and a harness..."
"Honey! We don't have one smiling rock at home!"
Good luck! | | |
| Last time, really!
There are lemurs in the play zoo. They're awesome.
That's seriously how they sit. It's hilarious.
And I'm done for real now. | | |
| Is it a fish or a mammal?
Ok, I know I said I wasn't going to elaborate, but I decided that there's one thing I have to talk about.
One of the best parts of my job is that I get to be in the zoo when it's closed to the public. Do you know how nice it is to be able to walk around and sit alone and watch the animals? Today after work I was walking toward my car and for some reason the brown bear was still out. Usually all the bears have gone inside by 6, but today one of the brown bears was still out. So I walked up to the fence, the only person in sight, and bonded with the bear. He was sitting in the pool eating a rawhide bone and when I walked up he paused and looked right at me, the bone still in his mouth. We just looked at each other for a minute and he went back to chewing on his rawhide bone. So I talked to him for a couple minutes and occasionally he would look up and acknowledge my presence then go back to chewing. After a while I decided to leave before anyone else came because that would have ruined the moment.
I moved along and ended up standing on one side of a two-way mirror and watched a leopard clean his paws before looking longingly into the next pen. He and the other leopard clearly wished they could be without a fence between them but settled on laying on rocks just next to the fence. I decided not to intrude on their time together and moved on.
I went up to Pinniped Point after that and saw the sea lions. There were two sea lions lying on the rocks next to their pool. Just totally sprawled out, flippers spread. When I walked up, one sea lion raised its head looked at me for a second, then flopped back down and closed his eyes. Then the other sea lion raised its head and peered at me over the other sea lion before flopping back down to his original position. I was envious of their life right then.
I learned little kid yoga today. It's a program called YogaKids that a woman started in Indiana and it's fantastic. All the poses are animal-y and the kids are encouraged to improvise and make sounds and use their imaginations. If they do the pose correctly, great; if not, that's fine, too. We sat on the lawn in the backyard of the Hamill Family Play Zoo, the zoo closed, the sun shining, and did little kid yoga. We soared like eagles. We got to be volcanos and then decide what our volcano was filled with. We were butterflies and each shared what colors our wings were. And I was the youngest one there. It was fantastic. Just five adults running around the yard flapping our wings, howling like wolves, and learning how polar bears greet each other.
When I worked at the Arboretum, everything was so structured. Here, we get to play with the kids. They run everything and we just follow them and make sure they don't get hurt, and in the process have so much fun. Tuesday I built a nest. Today I made a newspaper hat. Saturday I get to play in a stream with kids.
In conclusion, you should all come to the zoo and visit me. | | |
| I Googled him...
Well, I was way excited to post but now I've suddenly lost all inspiration and don't really feel like it anymore. So I will sum things up:
Zoo job = good
Zoo job training = bad
Playing with animals and children = good
12 hour day of work = bad
Working weekends all summer = bad
MONEY = GOOD
DDR = good
Hives = VERY VERY BAD
I'll go into more detail later, but for now, I'm playing the survey game:

| "You're so deep in the closet you're tripping on Christmas presents..."
I love Adult Swim. A lot. They show emails that they receive and one of them tonight was "I took some Nyquil today... but then I remembered that I had to work so I took some Dayquil... I thought they'd even out into like Afternoonquil... but the next thing I knew I was outside contemplating the meaning of sidewalk." I was amused. And last night I was watching Harvey Birdman because I don't remember how to sleep alone and he was defending Shaggy and Scooby who were being accused of being high and they showed all these clips from Scooby Doo indicating that the Gang were all potheads and it was hilarious.
Now I must ponder, is it normal that when I am not with my girlfriend I suddenly become ill? My hives have returned now that Erin and I are not together for 22 1/2 hours a day.
In other news: I love Robot Chicken, my dog is kicking me in his sleep, and Jasper Fforde is a brilliant author.
That is all. | | |
