I wish I was pretty.

I am so ugly inside and out.

has just realized

I have tons of clothes to go crawling around in the dirt taking pictures or hiking all over the wilderness.

I have some clothes that are appropriate to wear to work.

I have no clothes to go clubbing with or wherever one goes to get a mate.

And few of the clothes I own actually fit me correctly.

Everyone wants me to lose weight...but no one is volunteering to buy me clothes.

sigh.

Julia & Julia

I just finished watching Julia and Julia while baking persimmon bread.  Everytime I see that movie, I'm tempted to grab a cookbook and make every single recipie in it.

Actually, there are 2 cookbooks I've made a great many recipies in.  The Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Cookbook (love! love!)  and the Best Muffins & Quick Breads.

I always think it would be neat to learn French cooking.  However I don't have nearly enough equipment.  I don't know if I could bone a duck let alone a chicken.

I was watching the movie going how can she afford to cook all that food?

Maybe I could just master the art of French deserts. ;)

I'd need the book though...

SNAKE!

The scene is a National Wildlife Refuge on the Mississippi River.  Two photographers are hiking on an abandoned road to river.

Me:  (abruptly stopping) It's a snake!
Photo Buddy:  It's a big caterpillar.
Me:  It's a snake!
Photo Buddy:  I'll pick it up!
Me:  What kind is it?  I'm not sucking venom out of you...

Isn't it just the cutest little...

Photo Buddy:  You want to pet it?

Me:  (as manly as possible) no, I'm good. 

Sometime later:

Me:  (screeching halt)  Is that a snake?  or is it a stick?

Photo Buddy:  It's a snake...but it's dead.  Look how flat it is.  

Me:  Uh.  Uh.

Photo Buddy:  I need a stick.  

Me:  You are going to poke it?  You are such a boy.  Use my tripod.

Photo Buddy:  (poke, poke) See...it's (poke) ACK! Wow!  It's alive it's fast.

Me:  (squashing girlie screams of fear) uh

Photo Buddy:  Did you get a picture?

Me: of course!

It was dark.  The snake was fast.

That's why the image is blurry.

Not like I was scared.  

UNIX

is good to know I am rusty on it.

I had to set up my aunt's new Mac.  For some bizarre reason, I either mistyped or miswrote down the administrator password.  I have a suspicion as to why...

This is a disaster because resetting the administrator password is not easy.  To reset it, I had to go the command line interface and delete stuff.  And I couldn't remember the right commands.  :P

Time to brush up I think.

Creepy

I took Adventure Buddy to the Butterfly House.  Adventure Buddy always says courage is a virtue and you get virtue by doing virtuous things.  So if I want to be courageous, I have to do courageous things.

At the Butterfly House, you now have the opportunity to feed roaches.  They stay in their cage by the way.  There are hundreds of them in the cage.  You just drop the flakes into the cage.  Then they swarm and make chittering, creepy bug noises.

Ugh.

I'm not feeling courageous.  I'm feeling the need to wash with bleach.
