zoos within zoos

I just got the coolest gift from a co-worker. I’m a bit veklempt. Despite the crazy inner-office politics that comes with any job, I will really miss the people here. Aww.
In other news, they drained the moat in the Savannah exhibit and all the giraffes are in the moat-bed eating the shrubs on the other [...]

email snippet

Was writing an email to the lurvly Cathal, decided to share with the rest of ya’ll:
Once I get off work I have to go home, take things to a friend’s house to hold for me for the weekend, load the rest of it up in the car, load the rest of Joe’s stuff up in [...]

i’m running on pure stress

Joe has already packed up the computer so that means once I leave work I will be without email FOR OVER 12 HOURS. I am FREAKING OUT. What if someone emails me? How will I know? HOW WILL I RESPOND?

it is fun to use learning for evil

I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about cockeyed before, but I found a whole new section today. Enjoy.
Also, it just occured to me that this guy lives in Sacramento. Dude, I should totally join his gang of henchmen. I just hope I don’t have to wear a jumpsuit.

I just survived a terrifying ordeal.

And all went well until a wasp stung me.
And another.
And [...]

i’m telling you it was not right

Last night I saw the most disturbing television commercial ever. Children sticking their tongues out. Looking right at the camera. Mouth muscles glistening and shiny with saliva stretching out beyond their chins and pointing right fucking at me with the tongues and the smiling gaping mouths.
And even if I hadn’t just spent the last 2 [...]
