Little Things

I recieved this in the mail from my friend Alexander. He could have just given it to me since he lives in Petaluma, but Im so so so happy he mailed it to me! It totally made my day. It was such a surprise to open the mail box and find it there. Made me smile.

It's the little things like this that make me happy.

There's A Bear Inside Your Stomach

Sometimes I feel like this girl pulling the cart with the giant marble up a hill. Except I dont have the guys from The Antlers to come help me. "Bear" is the song.


I drew another owl. Its a present for somebodyyyy

the real wild things

Right now Im taking a break from my hours of studying to make this post. I have three midterms coming this next week and Im not too excited for them.

I kind of feel icky today, Ive been getting over a nasty cough so my chest and lungs hurt, and my head hurts a bit too. Then I guess there's some other stuff going on too thats bringing me down a bit. I guess I'll just have to wait it out, its the only thing you can do when it comes to things that are out of your own control.

So anyway, yesterday I went to the San Francisco zoo to go see all the animals. It was fun! I love the zoo, I could spend all day there.

Here's a monkey, he was the alpha male in his tribe of lady monkeys.

Baboons have colorful butts.

I like the facial hair this little guy rocked.

I dont really know what was going on, but the penguins seemed to all be yelling at eachother. (click on it, its a video!)

Oh hello there, Mr. Grizzly Bear

Kanga-kangaroos! Actually I think the grey one is a wallaby (sp?)

AN OWL! He was intense, man. There were 3 other ones but since it was daytime they were all sleeping.

I made some new friends in the petting zoo. I think they only wanted me to buy them some food though.

Apparently Im also a male peacock.

So yeah, those are some of my favorites. There were lots of other animals of course, but how can you get animals to pose in order for a good picture to be taken? You could yell at them, but that might possibly end up like the situation about 2 years ago with the tiger at the SF zoo. Also, there was this little antelope thing called a dik-dik we really wanted to see. We found him off in the bushes eating but couldnt see him very well, so that was kind of sad. It was a small dik-dik. Lollerskates!

Anyway, back to studying and feeling like poo.

AUTOBOTS UNITE!

Today Im not feelin so hot. I was sick last weekend and since then I've had a nasty cough. Now, every time I cough my head hurts. I guess I wouldn't be coughing if the weekend hadn't played out like it did.

THAT BEING SAID I think I need to let you all in on how my weekend was. So Thursday night I went to the movies with my friend Stephanie to go see this movie for her German class. The movie, of course, was in German, called 'The Baader Meinhof Complex'. From what I could tell (given the state that I was in) it was a very intense movie. Too bad there were subtitles because I really could not read them fast enough. Then I ate a hot dog and got really sleepy so I wasn't really focusing too hard on the subject matter. Oh, and I totally was convinced that everyone was looking at me.

Then the next night, I was in the same state of being, as was my house mate Jenna, we went to the movies to see 'The Invention of Lying', which was quite funny by the way. So we were on our way there and we were at a stoplight and according to Jenna the truck that took off next to us sounded like Optimus Prime. And it pretty much did.

Before our little adventure that night we had eaten at Olive Garden, and had bought dessert to go so we could eat it at the show. Well, us two sillies did not think to get forks or eating utensils of any sort to eat the cakes. So Jenna decides to ask the people at the concession counter if they had any plastic forks. I started laughing feeling very amused at the idea of having to eat with our hands or plastic straws. OH and I swear EVERYONE WAS LOOKING AT ME AGAIN! Long story short, they didnt have any plastic forks, so we had to eat our tiramisu and cheesecake using plastic straws as chop sticks (how much sense did that just make?). But it worked.

The next night was pretty much a repeat of the 'events' of the night before, except we went to Blockbuster to rent movies. That night for sure I caught people looking at me all suspiscious... Anyway they had a little section for 'Where the Wild Things Are', and I started to get all emotional when I saw this picture story book version of the movie, and they had a picture of Max leaving the island and all the Wild Things saying goodbye and Carol looking all sad :(

Seriously, how LEGIT is this movie going to be??? I can't wait to see it, it will probably make me cry! Someone needs to take me to go see it.

Pretty much the entire weekend was a whirlwind of things moving really slow and me not understanding what was going on. It was like THIS:

40's, Koily Kord Toons - Episode 3 from Guillermo Castillo on Vimeo.


It was pretty much exactly like that, except Im not a dude. That was by Guillermo Castillo by the way. So did any of that make sense to you? Probably not, but thats the whole point Im trying to convey. My whole reality last weekend did not make sense, and it was grand.

So yeah, this was the longest post ever but I just had to talk about my weekend.

Oh, Im going to the San Francisco zoo on Saturday, super excited to see some real wild things. Especially the OWLS!

Everyone is fond of owls

I decided to be a slacker and not go to my archaeology class today. I kind of woke up on the wrong foot this morning, seeing as I had class at 8 and didnt wake up till 7:36. Which if you're a girl like me, that is NOT enough time to get stuff done. Plus I didnt get to eat anything so my stomach was eating itself. Also I came home from that class just feeling mad at everyone in the world.

But anyways, my friend Katie is over so I decided to be a slacker and not go to my next class. I decided this when she grabbed one of my shoes and used it as a maraca, and shook it everywhere.

So Im going to use this post to talk about how much I love owls. I mean really, what kind of animal is better than an owl? (Katie says 'sloth, DUH')They're pretty, and fierce, and out at night, and they're super smart. Not to mention you can draw them really cool. This is an owl I drew:

I drew that kind of a while ago while I was vacationing in So Cal in July. We were at Pismo Beach and I was trying to avoid being runned over by quads and dirt bikes, so I just stayed in our sand filled trailer drawing stuff. I would post some more recent drawings but since my laptop is broken I cant! Anyways, I think if I ever got a tattoo I would totally get it of an owl, and Id wanna design it myself.

But in conclusion, owls are just awesome.
