what a sad day
alex the famous african grey parrot died today at only 31. i'd write a whole book about him if i only had the time, and then those of you unfamiliar with him (and dr. irene pepperberg) might understand why it's so tragic to have lost him, especially so young. it breaks my heart. his death saddens me as much as the loss of harriet the tortoise ( ( Read more... ) -

i think my car stereo is trying to tell me something
so steve's radio/tape player/clock kinda imploded many moons ago (in true ghetto fashion, i have been toting around a battery-powered shower radio that gets very poor reception). the car radio only buzzes, the tape player will spin its wheels but no sound emerges, and the clock...the clock has a mind of its own. sometimes it displays a time, never ( Read more... ) -

who thinks i can find an apartment/room to rent in boston with four cats and a great dane? anyone? anyone? -
people and dogs
most people are complete idiots when it comes to dogs. i know this because i used to be one. but seriously, it's painful. like a stabbing pain in my eye, like someone is stabbing my eye, stabbing it and stabbing it and stabbing it, with something very sharp and stabby, blinding, searing, throbbing pain, eye juice spraying everywhere, screaming, ( Read more... ) -
rip steve irwin
stupid manta ray. what a shitty way to go. i hate that steve irwin is dead. he may have annoyed as many people as he entertained, but he did amazing things for the wildlife of Australia and he is a hero to me. a lot of the things he did on the show may have looked moronic, but he started handling reptiles around the time he learned to walk (his ( Read more... )
