Have spent ages trying to find the screencap I used for my first fireflicons icon. It's nowhere to be fucking found. Am so sleepy and hungry and goddamnroommates are playing a stupid game and are shouting and yelling and omg keep sharp implements away from me right now.

So pissed off at missing screencap.

I am not stuborn

I am resiliant.

Oh god do I want to sleep.

But what kind of *job* would that be?

( What, according so some, my major should be )

Zoo!

Here are some notes on the zoo at Barcelona:

The people! Oh god, the people. I hate people. Or, well, not people, as in "person". You, person, I like. You, crowd, I do not.

Sorry.

And to all you mobs of screaming little children pressing your grubby little paws against the glass: die!

Or leave. Whichever.

The people, coincidently, are also ignorant. Disturbingly ignorant. "Oh look, it's a rat." (It was a muskrat.) "Oh, look, a rat." (A praire dog.) "Oh, look, a beaver." (Again, muskrat.)

We do not throw peanuts at the elephant. We do not throw water bottles into cages. We do not hand hay to the orangutan. We do not tap on the glass.

Oh god, the people...

Some good things were had, though. Saw a chimp run up to the glass (totally freaking out a kid, which was cool) to check out a balloon. Horse-shaped balloon.

Saw two baby alligators on some branches. Alligators in a tree!!!

Saw some crocodiles adopted by Lacoste. Mur?

Saw a itty bitty snake and a huge reticulated python yawn. Both cool.

Almost-saw Cape Hunting Dogs, but they were hiding int he shade. The cheetah was more in sight.

However, not terribly impressed: zoo was a bit of a let-down. I mean, it's a big zoo, right, in a big city, with years and years of history and whathaveyou. Didn't seem like it. Sure, it was Sunday pm and there were a lot of people, but I found the zoo to be too much of a "park with animals" concept (with added restaurants ever two steps). Could we clean the water up a bit too?

And please, please get your english translations right. Please. Not just animal names, although looking for a drill amongst mandrils was interesting. Monkeys with tools!


Also, love jenni_the_odd and her comics.

Bored and should work-out. People yelling obcenities in the living room (football). Might even study sometime this week. Before the exam, preferably.

Cthulhu movie!

Now I have to read the stories, as opposed to Neil Gaiman's wonderful "Shogolth's old peculiar" and "Study in green".

Anyone familiar with either? I'm a bit acquainted with the general concepts of the Ancients, but am miffed as to how you can make a movie from a short story.

Speaking of which, anyone watch the movie based on Ray Bradbury's "A sound of thunder"? (Read his novel From the dust returned. Think it's one of my fave's, after Fahrehneit 451, because the style is quirky but readable, as opposed to some of his short stories.)

Since we're on the "book -> movie" subject, must watch "Something wicked this way comes" and "Cujo".

And get my hands on some eps of Mystery Theatre 3K (MS3K).
