clean is better
Jun. 20th, 2017 05:07 pmI thought the heron would have died by now but he's alive and lead poisoned. "Seagulls seem to do well," Jill said. "That's because they're the cockroaches of the sea," said Sabrina, and then Jill said something about catfish and Sabrina added "well, technically, horseshoe crabs are the cockroaches of the sea but that's only because they've survived every mass extinction," and they've been around for 450 million years, which would make cockroaches the horseshoe crabs of land.
But now we're killing them off, partially because of habitat destruction and using them as bait in fishing, partially because their blood has antimicrobial properties, they coagulate around any pathogen they detect, and so they're catching them, draining them of blood, and then releasing them back and they're a bit loopy so their tidal rhythm is screwed up and don't realize they're on dry land until it's too late.
I drew a picture of a horeshoe crab using one of the moltings upstairs for Jill's benefit on a less than suitable material using a less than suitable medium. Although she's from New Jersey, not California or Albania or Weird Terrain, so there's no reason she wouldn't have seen one.
Somebody brought in a decapitated crow nestling. Well, we think it's a crow, anyway. First of all, it doesn't have any feathers. Secondly, a hawk tried to eat it and then dropped it and the guy heard what he described as like a baseball glove hitting the ground. So Falco ate crow. The one he saw was a red-shouldered hawk but beheading seems to be a Coopers hawk trademark.
The duck apparently needed a good sit and the goose was doing some ballet. Then the duck ran under the cage and the goose was like "what the fuck?" At least it was clean, Walker said, since the day before, the weasel escaped and hid in the same place and was making noises.
Sabrina and Jill put the cookies in the oven when it was still warming up. It didn't make the cookies any less delicious, just so you know.
Brian's dad once cooked the lobster by putting it in cold water and heating it, which makes it hiss a lot and toughens the meat to the point of inedibility.
It's a trend to make TV series of movies. Brian called Twelve Monkeys an atrocity and can't imagine Snowpiercer being better than the movies.
A raccoon would just pee on the cookies. Sabrina gave a banana to a raccoon and he dunked it in diarrhea poop and ate it.
Later on, somehow Brian brought up teaching raccoons to play Magic: The Gathering and using diarrhea.
Jill said there were a lot of Sarahs. Brian had a friend named Matthew who was named specifically because it wasn't a particularly popular name and they found out the hard way that a lot of other parents were planning the same thing but male names don't really go through trends to the same extent as female name. I have a tape from 1997ish that has a snippet of John Osterlind talking about popular names of the time and scoffing at Jacob and Tyler. It's a palimpsest mixtape so my guess is I heard a song I liked and then left the recording on.
Jill wants to see the name Doug come back into fashion. She's never met another Sabrina. I've never met another Sabrina aside from the dog and and I've never met another or a Christabel (but I've read a book with a Christabel) or Isa, but I have met another Talia and I have met another Eleanor.
The far-right has been sending death threats to various Shakespeare companies and interrupted two performances of Julius Caesar. I'm taking the right railing against political incitement to violence as proof I've been exiled to an alternate reality.
Michael said that Donald Trump will probably be more corrupt than the next three presidents.
I showed last year's picture of Lily Black to her bandmates and groupies (she doesn't have the mohawk anymore) and to someone else watching Mei Ohara play and I showed them to Ashley a while ago, which means obviously they've been in digital form for a while, and I realized I forgot to post them here. Sorry about that. I'll make a post by Jill's birthday, which is next week.
burning question: what genre of music has the worst fans?
