memory & hope
Aug. 23rd, 2016 12:41 amI was tasked to bake cookies and, well, Amanda ate at least four of them plus some raspberry-glazed cake made by the crazy bird lady.
Finnegan's owner asks who couldn't like guinea pigs because they're like furry little potatoes that talk to you. She got him a companion but he's in a frenzy about it so snip snip, little guy. She used to have a guinea pig ring that she wore on her middle finger but it broke, and she has a ring of interlocking elephants, and I said that I'm seeing a lot of people with elephant motifs on their clothing and jewelry, and that I remember Claire wearing clothing with elephant motifs as early as 2002, so maybe she's ahead of the game or maybe she's a time traveler.
I heard a whinnying noise last night. I think it sounded like an eohippus, but unless it's suddenly 60 million years ago, it's most likely not.
Courtney is at the school of skunk collecting.
Vikki was once at a rehabber that soaked bread for their waterfowl.
I'm trying to interpret my notes here because damn you autocorrect: The hawk caught a mouse in midair.
The skunks chased a runner and Irvin upon release.
Some medium gloves are smaller than others. If that's medium, then I doubt the small ones could fit Donald Trump's hands.
I named our goose Bert and he was still going after that. He was shot out of the sky and had bone sticking out and multiple fractures. In other words, he was irreparably fucked up but somehow clinging to life despite our efforts to euthanize him. He somehow wasn't breathing but his heart was still beating. I wrote "beating" and autocorrect interpreted it as Bert so that's how he got his true name. And yet when we don't want them to die, like the cuckoo and the oystercatcher and the blackbird, they do.
Bitty's doing good but that's because Kristina thinks that whoever named him pronounced it like Bitey because he's always biting people. In which case, the name Bitty is not his true name and won't have any power over him.
Meanwhile, they pinned a hawk's wing so the bone will heal.
Skyla showed up with a currently orange and pale green chameleon, a crested gecko who was so young he weighed less than a gram, and a ball python with an infected belly button and a very soft underside. I didn't even know snakes had belly buttons, but they do, or at least a really close reptilian equivalent.
A woman with a tattoo of a cicada and a tattoo of a nautilus and blue spiral earrings and other facial piercings cross section brought in a bird of ambiguous specie. I thought she was the woman with the hedgehog, Hillary or Hannah or something, but maybe not. It looked like she had pink-dyed hair but it was just the lamps Matt uses for the garden store. They make everyone with hair the color of anything but a new moon look pink. Or whatever, I think a new moon would be sky blue. A different woman with a ladybug foot tattoo brought baby flying squirrels.
Jess has a new gray with gray eyes Italian mastiff puppy, Luna. Jess as in Jess who is Magaggie's sister and does not have a cat as far as I know, but does have a tattoo that says Live And Learn in Italian. Jess barely slept because of Luna and her weird sleep cycle, while I barely slept because of the rain and a skunk. And speaking of rain, Priya was back. Coincidence? I think not.
Burning Question: I'm reading The Vorrh right now in paperback form. As far as I know, I got it from a bookstore and not as a gift from Claire. Why, then, does Amazon list the release date as September 6, 2016?
