hope's reach
Mar. 14th, 2016 08:52 pm5 days until the vernal equinox
It reached 77° F last Wednesday.
There's a new Airiel song and it's really good. Around this time two years ago, I guessed that lovesliescrushing's fantomaera and ximre and as-yet-untitled album would be released some time around Ascension Day of 2014, Airiel's EP would be released on October 21, 2015, and that I shouldn't hold my breath for any Eyeless in Gaza box set.
The funny thing is that Airiel is releasing an EP soon, the box set was released at the beginning of 2015, and there's no signs of fantomaera or ximre.
I can't get Collecting Bugs and Pieces legitimately. Someone posted a torrent some time on Friday and it was as dead as liberté, egalité, fraternité on Saturday afternoon, which makes sense because there are only a few people who have even heard of Big Monster Fish Hook and nobody's going to increase their seed ratio with this. Way to get my hopes up.

Matt was around because it's spring break and I guess Priya (I called her Emily to her face and then Priti on this journal only because I'm bad with names. But it's Priya. I came to this conclusion based on two things. One of these things I refuse to go into and the other thing is that Priya carries with her a Mardu halcyon at all times) just showed up but it's nice because Tyler didn't arrive until 10:30, and that probably had something to do with the jump forwards. If he's anything like me, it will take him about a week to restore equilibrium. I love daylight savings time and its later sunsets, I just hate the actual act of jumping forwards.
1. The mouse we found in the bucket had a long tail. 2. a "field mouse" in North America is a vole, which has a short tail. And no Eurasian field mice have been introduced to North America as far as I know.
Conclusion: I think it may have been a jumping mouse.
We're down to four baby squirrels.
"He's physioed. Sorry, modo," says Matt.
Jacob had blue wrap for the bird's wing and he said that he's carefully cutting Grover's skin.
The raccoon with the peanut butter jar on his head's health has declined upon arrival and he tries to eat anyone who gets near his mouth, which makes it tough to administer medications.
We have a blue jay that can't fly. The x-rays look normal but he's very skinny so maybe that's why he can't fly.
Over the weekend, we had an owl who's leg was hanging on by a thread.
Tyler wanted to get tiles for the screech owl's cage because every time, the owls tear something to shreds. This guy was eating his perch. "Chew on that, screech owl."
Tyler brought up the time we had a tern and someone weighed him wrong so he got way more meds than he needed and he was actually doing well until we brought his meds down to the normal levels, at which point, he died.
Matt says that Burlington is three times anything Maine has to offer outside of Portland.
A woman had tattoos of a barn owl and a shark.
There are canada geese the size of swans in Minnesota and also canada geese the size of ducks. A swandugoose or swanada.
We had a purple gallinule once after a tropical storm and Tyler wonders just how we released him. Probably something like "all right, buddy, find your way back to Florida."
Jack drew a scene from The Giving Tree in marker on his laptop. Or maybe it was I-want-to-say-her-name-is-Heather-but-I-don't-think-it-is-and-actually-I-really-don't-want-her-name-to-be-Heather. I actually don't know and I don't even know what letter her name starts with but I do know they needed a white sharpie and I know now that a white sharpie is a thing that exists and apparently they're used with slate repair.
I asked him if he wanted a bird made from rarefied starlight or a sine of alpha greater than one but he said those might be outside my grasp.
In Florida, there's a sketchy place that doesn't check any of their birds for lead poisoning and puts owls on the toilet.
burning question: does every country have its own Florida? Like Saxony and Queensland.
It reached 77° F last Wednesday.
