If you're in jail BRREEAK OOUUUT!
First off, hj1, I really wish you could be here with me this Sunday SUNDAY SUNDAY!!! Because coming this weekend to the Salinas Air Show, it's TRUCKASAURUS! (Tecnhically Robosaurus, but let's not split hairs.) It's 30-tons of car-crushing fire-breathing fury! And since I'm neither dead nor in jail, I am compelled to go. PLUS! I can experience the Flying Elvises and the Wall of Fire! The trouble is finding somebody here who will go with me. All those losers want to do on their days off is go birding. I mean, come on--Truckasaurus!
Anyway, update, yes? Work = way busy. Fall migration is in full swing, and we're catching a lot of many birds and some fun vagrants. Hired a new intern, who we've been training intensively. The newbie is coming along nicely. He revealed that he's a huge Patrick O'Brian fan, and has read all 20 Aubrey/Maturin books, and is therefore awesome. He's the first person I've met in RL who's read them all.
Also: last weekend, Nellie and I journeyed afar to the Ren Faire! We saw jousting (out knight lost. Pfft. FIX!) and minstrels and the world's angriest juggler. Seriously. He abused the audience, smoked, and stole some guy's drink. And he juggled flaming torches from a tightrope. He was awesome. And he did a show with another guy, and I swear I saw both of them at the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin like 4 years ago. Plus there were loads of great costumes, from the Queen and her court to people who looked like they wandered straight off the set of Xena to the pirate with patches over both eyes. Oh, and let's not forget the belly dancers.
Hey, canis_m! Are you aliiive? How's skool? Is it kool? Hope you're not drowning in work.
p.s. This is belated, but: Screw you, Emmy voters! Hugh Laurie was ROBBED! Bah. At least House has a magical new balcony that connects his office to Wilson's. Ah, the Hilson. Iz luv.
