The bird on top is is a murre. the one on the bottom is a female merganser. Jack's been doing this thing in which he puts multiple animals in the same jpg. We got a couple of murres after the second noreaster. I think they all died, as murres are wont to do.
Michael says that the three elements: New House, Scientist Parents, and Werewolf. and if you put all three of them together, you get the most Goosebumpsy Goosebumps book ever. And that would be The Werewolf of Fever Swamp.
I'd add "summer camp." So maybe if he wrote a sequel called The Werewolf of Fever Swamp Goes To Summer Camp.
I also learned that R.L. Stine was expected to write all the mainline books but the short stories were fair game for ghostwriters. Get it, ghostwriters?
Someone named Ashley showed up asking for Jack and all I could think of is "sorry, he's in another Filgaia." I guess she was donating stuff. And I guess she meant Jacob.
Speaking of Ashley, wish the Ashley a happy birthday. She'll never get that.
I don't think the Church is Christianity with the serial numbers filed off, as that would require far too much thought on the writer.
Aff is a terrible name for entirely different reasons. It's short for his online handle, which is Affirmative.
I don't have access to a preview of the new Aff's Diary novel. I'm assuming that it's like the other ones, which are also not written in a diary format.
My favorite fictional religious adages are the Gibbet Scrolls. The backstory is: a long long time ago, in the aboriginal Kingdom of the Dog, criminals and political prisoners condemned to death were to write a complete sentence proving their literacy and allowing them to die by hanging, while the illiterate and recalcitrant were hacked to pieces over several days. The sentences were nailed to the corpses and ascended with them on the nocturnal tides and fell back down to the taigas of Irth, and were arranged in a specific sequence by a sect.
I found the texts of peanutism. Somehow. I also find the insanity test by the same guy. You'd think it would be on the same site as Peanutism, but no. One of them was about Myth II and one of them was just a generalized insanity test and included the question "you're driving down the super-highways of America with 10-20 cars behind you, bumper to bumper, and an innocent looking, fuzzy, white bunny steps out on the middle of the road, do you, (a) keep on driving with no remorse for making bunny pancakes, (b) slam on the breaks, saving the bunny, and cause a pile-up killing many people including yourself, © jump out of the car and run off into the forest yelling "IT HAPPENED AGAIN, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, or (d) step on the gas and wait until you hear the SMUSH, and then slam on your brakes and cause a huge accident for fun, and if you're still alive, scrape the bunny pieces off the road, put them in a nice box, put a ribbon on it, and mail it to your religious figure of choice asking if there's a bunny heaven. I passed it around Sculptural Communication class and I don't remember anyone's answers.
A silver fox is a red fox with silver fur.
My friend said that Jedi Rocks sounded like Grover, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster were having an argument.
Emily called one of our patients a very special sunflower.
Bella was eating bread with tempeh and hummus.
She said that the bread was sharp and it was like biting into a giant crouton.
Some people got stuck upside down in a roller coaster for 45 minutes.
I've never been on a roller coaster. I would've went on one but the lines were so long. I did go on the Turkish Twist. You can try lifting parts of your body and they feel heavy but I don't recommend trying to lift your head. You'll feel motion sick for the rest of the day if you do that.
Emily says "I go on the kids' rides and that's it."
I think I know what she's talking about at Canobie Lake. I haven't been there since high school, so maybe things have changed. They had the Simpsons arcade game.
"They sling you and they shoot you."
Emily said we should get rid of Donald Trump that way.
She doesn't know who Dick Cheney is but then again, I didn't know who the vice president under Reagan was (it's Bush the Elder) and I don't think any 18 year olds are going to know who Mike Pence is in 2035.
Some geese were released that Friday and we're aiming to release the ring-billed gull after yet another noreaster. We did a fecal test on a duck and found that he had a bacterial infection.
burning question: I gave him a nosebleed, but no "friendship" developed. My calculations show something vital missing? Could it be "poetry"?
