the sorrow of rain

yamamanamaTurns out Ria is short for Alexzandria. The guy with the goatee braid is Radamès, which is a name made up by either Giuseppe Verdi or the librettist of Aida. It means nothing. It's just some nonsense attached to the name Ra.
I was talking to Alexandra about the difficulty of drawing portraits when all you have is a quick sketch you made to use as a reference, but decided to wait since that entry I posted is really long. I didn't think to tell anyone at the wildlife center (well, Emma wasn't there and Zofia was mostly busy), but I'm telling you this.
And if Alexandra didn't tell that I grabbed the markers along with all my stuff, I'd probably get to the T station and wonder, probably aloud, wait, why do I have markers?
Emma said she was going to call about the mural last week. Spoilers: she never did. We were talking about finally getting our mural off the ground, and she had me give her the wildlife center's contact information and she said she'd call and I asked her how it went and got only silence. Jack said that Emma didn't call him but since there are figuratively a million people who answer the wildlife center's phone, that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
I explained it to Zofia and Harry (whose true name is Alexander*, but since he's a human, it doesn't matter) as "if you take away her smile, she's got the ice-cold eyes of an ice-cold flake. And if you take away her nose, she looks really weird. And if you take away half of her face, she's like Half Face." Actually I should really blame techies for this.
*also, he's half-Jewish. And Russian like the Alex who is vermin in the eyes of Morbo. But all humans are vermin in the eyes of Morbo aside from Morbo's Good Friend Alex. Anyway, I know this because Harry said Gallop's head was perfect for a yamaka. He's older than he looks and that came up because we were talking about how there isn't a Green Line station at Union Square yet and the acoustics at T.T. The Bear's and how Atlas Lab just wouldn't be Atlas Lab if Emma's voice wasn't drowned out in a sea of Merzbow-ish noise.
Gallop discovered a spacetime anomaly in their shed. One of the interns said he's going to send out a team of scientists to check it out. I'll let you know the moment I hear from them again. If I hear from them again.
There's some more pictures I want to take so I'm going to post the entire batch next Monday. The wood ducks were transferred and the crows will be transferred soon, but I got some pictures of baby ducks, baby woodpeckers, baby turkeys, that painting that looks like a still from an old movie, some signs Désirée made, a chalkboard, a mural, turtles stacking (an intern says we never actually see them climb atop one another), Penelope carrying a food dish in her mouth, a plush baby duck that chirps when you squeeze it in a certain way.
Specifically, there was a hydrocephalic squirrel and his head was filled with fluids and his skull was as thin as paper. I'm going to take a picture of that skull. I would have a picture right now but everybody was really busy, except for me.
Burning Question: One of the interns was talking about a guy she knows from California who lives in New York and imported kosher meat from back home. How can he not find kosher meat in New York? It's not like he's in Montana or something. It's New York. People don't call it Jew York because it's some sort of French or Chinese pun.
