I'm going to write about the people who come into the Visitor's Center.
A surprisingly spry grandmother is two steps behind her adorable pink-cheeked granddaughter who looks about 2 and a half. The baby has a cute little bowlcut and the grandmother insists on buying this plastic hermit crab which is one of the more obscure toys in this shop, not a boring old selection like a dolphin or - god help me - a Monarch ( Read more... ) -

Let's make it a happy one, to counter-balance recent emo-ness... Nothing happier than me and my great friend Morgan, hanging out together last night:

One hundred and sixty-seven movies in 2008
I haven't made a list of the movies I've seen since last July, but here it is, baby. Numbers 91 through 167 in all their glory.

This is by far the slowest day I've worked at Natural Bridges thus far. And that's no good, because we're still in the peak of the butterfly season. As much as I don't really like this job, I would hate to lose it because not enough people are coming. In the three hours we've been open I have sold just $135.85 worth of butterfly shit, and normally ( Read more... ) -
