Bush babies! Bush babies!

The problem with blogging:
I think of fascinating – I’m telling you riveting ideas for a post when I’m lying awake in the morning, willing myself to move my body out of the sheets/pillows/blankets/cats. I think to myself “For sure I’ll remember this idea!” and then I do not. I do not remember it and I become frustrated and I futz with sidebars or other minutae on my site instead of actually writing something.

Tres lame.

So here, I’m going to write, without any sort of idea of what I want to write about. Watch me. Here it comes. Right now.

Hm.

I’ve been very preoccupied with work, lately. I’m pondering password protecting some posts so that I can more freely write about my day to day. At the same time, what would be the point of that? I’ll ruminate on that one for awhile longer, I think.

We didn’t get a bird. We went on a field trip to the bird place and found the bird place had gone out of business. We went to the pound instead and met some very cool dogs. One was a really fat pug. We had a insta-fantasy of our life with the pug, but decided we weren’t ready yet. Instead we went to the zoo and sat in the night exhibit for long ass time. I love that place. We are absolute pros at spotting the animals – the trick is to stay in there for about 20 minutes letting your eyes adjust – then you become like some super bat* that can see the smallest details. This time the bush babies were jumping mad, all over the place, super quick. It was so amazing. We stayed until we realized the zoo had closed 20 minutes ago and then creeped out, relieved we had not been locked in the exhibit. Okay, Sky was relieved, I was secretly dissappointed.

* I am aware that bats are blind, but a super seeing armadillo doesn’t sound as imposing

Last weekend I scooted downtown for the first time – I’ve always been a bit scared to be amongst all of the traffic and the craziness, but Sky and I went together as a scooter gang and it was pretty awesome. We bought some sheets and had some yummy cheese (not at the same place) and just generally people watched.
