I finally am wading through the tons of pictures I took of my apartment after spring August cleaning. And now I'm endeavoring to wade through and post all of them. Whee!

First up, pictures (all three) from my zoo trip.

Now for pictures of the back patio of my apartment.

Amazing view, right this way )

Reasons why today has sucked:

1. Parents at the zoo are freaking stupid. Not all parents. Just a few. But those few were morons of the highest order. (Seriously, parents, there is no excuse for holding up a lunch line because you have to tell the server what drinks you want one. drink. at. a. time. When you're getting SEVEN drinks for four people! It's a fountain! Tell her two! She has two hands!)

2. Air quality was horrible, even though the temperature was better. I'm paying the price now.

3. Headache that doesn't want to go away.

4. My feet are killing me. My right foot especially. I'm guessing I'll be wearing flats for the next week.

5. Parents that refuse to read. Seriously, people, don't guess at what the animals are! Your kids asked! There are plenty of signs that tell you what's what! Just READ. (Why yes, I did become a zoo snob and actually tell random kids what the animals were, point out where the animals were when parents were distracted by the smaller kids, and stop a kid from running face first into glass.)


On the plus side, I have a few pictures and some video. Including video of a snoozing, snorfling polar bear. (I figured it out, Bubbles...Waffle is part polar bear!)

So You Think You Can Dance

Predictions from my mother:

Regardless of who wins, it won't be Courtney.

(I agree with mom.)

Mom and I both are in agreement that while Katee's the best all around dancer, something just feels like it'll be a guy.

And the opening number just told me what I've missed this season. I've missed Shane. I like his routines. They're hard hitting. It's good to have the lyrical hip hop, but I miss the hard stuff. Just watching Josh do Shane's routine showed me what we could have had for some variety. (So to you, Randy Jackson, I say "Thanks ever so for HAVING to have a dance show of your own to compete with your freaking producer and take one of our judges/choreographers.")

Vacation Update

Everything but the repair to the bookcase is done. Wh.ich will be done later this weekend due to Maveness' Law

(Maveness' Law: if you use super glue, no matter how careful you are, you will get the stuff on yourself.)

Tomorrow morning I'm going to the zoo. It'll be cooler tomorrow, I get in for free, and there are new bear cubs. (And the added bonus: when I emailed work to see if there were any proofreading projects to do, they mentioned one proposal that needed proofing and...they needed it proofed tomorrow morning. I said "I can do it before 9 or after I get back in the afternoon. But I'm going to the zoo.")
