The first two paragraphs were intentionally Hemingway.

I honestly don't know what happened for the rest of the entry. I wanted to stop typing but somehow couldn't. Though I think it turned out more Vonnegut than Hemingway in the end.

And now for your next trick, you can do Faulkner. I expect "apotheosis" to be used at least twice for each period (of which you are allotted one for an entry of this length...).

I love the sharks and rays. They feel like invisibility cloaks.
My dad says to never get in the way of a hippo and its baby, or a hippo and its water source, or a hippo and, really, anything the hippo wants, which could be your Jeep. My dad knows these things because he lived in South Africa and had a friend get eaten by a shark and an aunt get eaten by a lion.
True story.

It goes from downtown to the perimeter, disregarding the fact that most people actually live outside the perimeter.

The penguin bubble is one of the most hilarious things ever.
