finally!

Here's the video of me feeding a baby squirrel. I do want to note that baby squirrels look much like adult squirrels, only smaller and less angry. Enjoy! :)




Pictures are on flickr.

Here's some clips I found on http://www.talklikeapirate.com/:

How to talk like a pirate in German, Swedish, and Mandarin.

::::In non pirate news, I went to go see 3:10 to Yuma last night.

It was FANTASTIC! Well written, well acted, and very engaging. I'm not usually into westerns, but I really enjoyed this film, and I highly recommend it.

::::I've been fostering 6 baby squirrels for the last couple of days, and it has been interesting. They have to be bottle fed formula three times a day, so lucky me got to wake up at 8 am on my morning off to feed the little buggers. They are very cute though, so it didn't take long for me to forgive them for making me drag myself out of bed. I will upload some video and pictures when time permits!

I love early morning walks. Everything is quiet, the sun is warm on your face, and you can just enjoy the crisp air and the beauty of nature surrounding you.

Until about 10 am. Then all the bros come out to get their drink on and enjoy long afternoons filled with cornhole and back to back guitar hero tournaments.

I purchased some new songs from itunes, so I am currently enjoying this playlist during my early morning/late evening walks. Some of it's a bit nostalgic, but that's what I like about it.

Spoon-Underdog
The Kooks-She moves in her own way
The Kooks-Naive
Billy Bragg and Wilco-California Stars
Wilco-Sky Blue Sky
Au Revoir Simone-Sad Song
Au Revoir Simone-Through the Backyards

Eddie and I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibit at the museum. It was pretty cool. A friend of mine commented that she found it strange that pictures of everyday household items are considered art. Personally, I like the idea of seeing art in the ordinary.

"What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddling masses yearning to be free, and I will give them skinny jeans, because they're freaking starving!

::::I wish there was one of these at my local library:



::::Today I went to Walmart after a light rain, and when I got outside it smelled like a foot! Gotta love the smell of commerce, armpits, and warm asphalt in the afternoon. Mmm-mmm-good!

::::Why oh why do guys insist on wearing skinny jeans? Why does anyone? It makes people look like they have chicken legs. Every once in awhile I'll see someone wearing an outfit with skinny jeans that is cute, but I don't really dig the kate moss look.


Look ma! I gots stick legs!

::::Last night winter and I went to see our friend's band play at howards, and the guys that played afterward were pretty good, despite their apparent love of the skinny jean. Their other love? The shaglet. (Shag+mullet) Add a generous helping of mutton chop sideburns, don't wash for about 3 days, and you're all set!

Don't get me wrong, I love shaggy hair on guys. But I prefer the "I just rolled out of bed, but it actually took me 20 minutes to make it look this way" style. You can still rock the messy hair, but look groomed all at the same time! (a novel concept, I know.)

I noted that most of the audience was cromprised of emo/hipster fanboys, and winter and I were some of the few in attendance to be the proud owners of a vagina. The kicker? Super drunk guy in the front who obviously needed to be cut off, but thanks to his dickhead friends was busy double fisting beers and making a complete ass of himself. He stopped a moment, puked on the floor, and began dancing like a madman without even breaking stride. Pure class.
