A Trip to the Zoo

 
 
 
Today Megan, Alexander and Izabella went to the zoo with me. In the picture of the peacock, the prarie dog was nipping on the bird's tail, the bird got irritated and started to run away... and dragged the still-clenching rodent along behind it for a bit. We also were greeted with hearty hellos from the resident macaw. It was in the mid 50's and sunny today... absolutely beautiful. See my album for a few more pictures.

oh, work.

I don't know if it's the way I'm coming at it, or if my job is really that bad... but work is making me very angry. More angry than I should be. And it still doesn't go away after I come home. =(

Spring has Sprung!

 
 
Early signs of spring from my apartment steps.
It's beautiful today; I should go for a walk at the zoo.

Über-geek vs. reality

It never really crossed my mind before, but the reason why people enjoy fantasy so much is quite obvious. Sometimes reality just stinks. Doh. So we turn to things like the World of Warcraft, some Zelda, some Mario Kart, novels about fantasy races or time warps... others enjoy Jane Austen, Tom Clancy, or hours of Futurama. (I also have to argue that most of the stuff on the G-4 television channel is total fantasy.)

So maybe this is just an excuse for me to enjoy my RPG's or my Legends of the Riftwar in moderation, but it's a good one. I hope the murlocs don't come for me in my dreams, but if they do it's certainly better than a double debit out of my checking account courtesy of the U.S. DOE.

Don't worry, when it gets a little warmer I will spend some more time outside in the "real" world. Today's temperature is a nice tease. I am also looking forward to visiting Colorado and the Johnsons in April!

Mozilla Firefox

Every time I close my browser, a window pops up and asks if I would like to delete my cookies. And every time I read it, I wonder how many real-life cookies are left in my jar in the kitchen. Hence my current excuse for my poor eating habits... it's the computer's fault. :)

But really I haven't worked out in weeks, I really am eating a lot of cookies (of the sugar & chocolate-chip varieties) and I'm just now getting around to my Pilates. Maybe that's why I've had no energy lately? I also really need to get with it and get Pilates on DVD. This whole rewinding-the-tape process is super annoying. Everything must go faster now. Welcome to March 2008. (Hmmm, almost tax time.)

Oh, new clumsiness story: after a rough morning of sinus trouble, I brew some coffee around 11:30 and open up a new bottle of hazelnut creamer, I shake it a few times, and bam... it's all over me & the kitchen (with what I thought was a closed-tight lid on top).
