udders tofu and housewives

losing sleep over
Otis from back at the barnyard... i don't think a boy cow should have udders :(

wondering
what on earth this sign at the zoo means... if it means what i think it means, will i really get to milk a cow???! yes that is a fake plastic cow... this is orange county after all, but i will take what i can get!


thinking
i should just give up buying/soaking in balsamic vinegar/gingerly trying/throwing away every kind of tofu/fake chicken/veggie burger... they all taste like sawdust and wood putty :| i wonder if one can live off blueberries, condensed milk and diet coke...?

hoping
vegetarians eat fish... gawd i suck at this vegetarian business :| surely they eat fish and chips? why would anyone not???!

puzzling
over why anyone would want a muffin top pan.... doesn't the bottom of the muffin top become hard if there is no stump to tear it from....? i just don't see the point :|

also puzzling
over the odd message on our answering machine in a scary robotic voice, asking if we have a 25 pound dog :| that was all he said... just "hello, do you have a 25 pound dog?" then the robot hung up (hanged up - i never know what is correct)

also also puzzling
over why God made people's skin darken in the sun - surely if he had made skin turn lighter in the sun, people in very hot countries could stay cooler since white reflects the sun. and people in cold countries could be be darker to absorb heat.

loving
the real housewives of DC... they just might be my favorite housewives of all (for all the wrong reasons) except Cat - her husky man voice makes me feel cold and pasty. how on earth was she ever married to Charles? he is lovely and charming and soooo much better off without fag ash Lil ;) i am sure, however, that the whole White House photographer is a pork pie... i have looked through every single White House photo on flickr (all those pictures of Obama's winning smile... it was a VERY tough job) and found not one crediting him :| hmmmmmmmmmm.....

pictures of the trip at last:
the little weasel of my dreams (must have black nose and a "whatchu lookin' at" expression :)

this is a degu - and naturally i want one :)

waiting for the elevator - we spent approximately half our vacation in this spot (and the other half waiting to come back up from the lobby :)
