Since We're Being Gratuitous...

Jan 24, 2007 08:01

This post is primarily for elizawharton, but it is true that I haven't really displayed the Menagerie here. Five animals, ladies and gentlemen. Five. FIVE.

( Many pictures from proud pet custodian. )

Hey! Only first one shows up, but you can cut and paste the URLs into another window and see them. They're so cute and smushy (even the humans)!

Bwahahahahaaha! I love it!! You definitely DO have a menagerie -- but hey, it's just more love to go around, right? The siamese is beautiful, and I love Annie lurking in your bag!!!

A lot of love...a lot of hair. A lot of the vet treating me like a queen as I finance his next vacation, sort of thing. :-)

Miss Tasha is actually Balinese (she says snobbily), for which I am grateful. The main difference is the vocal variety--instead of yowling continuously on just one pitch, she "talks" all the time, very conversationally. :-) I'm scrounging around trying to find a picture that shows Annie's unusual little face a bit better. She's a Peke-faced Turkish Van.

Sorry about the picture issues--they all showed up okay in my preview, so it's clear I'm an idiot with this stuff!

Eh. So I had to cut and paste a little. And yet somehow, the world didn't end! Unlike our students, spoiled by the conveniences of technology, I still remember when I would ahve had to wait 4-6 weeks to get your letter with photographs in the mail.

Balinese! Of course. My bad. Apologize heartily with some tasty treats so that I may be forgiven.

While my little ones are NOT Balinese, they've become quite the chatty bunch. Tibbald yowls sometimes when he's frisky and bored, but isn't too much of a talker. Maggs, on the other hand, meep meep meep meep meep meep meep all day long!

Well, I for one DO want to see the new ink. Simply stating the fact that you have a new addition to your bodily art makes me very curious to know the details. My guess: you got a real badass tattoo of a snake wrapped around a dagger that's driven into the top of a grinning skull. This skull/snake/dagger combo sits on top of a dice-throwing, Harley-riding grim reaper. Off to either side of the snake/skull/tattoo/dice/grim reaper are the words "R.I.P Eduardo" in Gothic script. "Who is this Eduardo?" we might ask. Nobody can answer that for sure, but saying "R.I.P. Eduardo" is far more impressive than saying "R.I.P. Bill" 'specially when you put it in a badass Gothic script, right?

OMG! OMG! It's like you KNOW me.

Except, of course, it's not "Eduardo." It's "Raoul."

Woops. Typo. Subject of last comment should have been "Tattoo." I blame the coffee…and the flying orangutans. (Swats at the air around his head) Damn things!

Ahhh, yes. I remember the coffee-induced flying orangutans well. A hazard of grad school, those are.

Oh, man. I could have put the flying orangutans into the tattoo! What WAS I thinking? I've gotta go back in.

Whoot! That would be lovely. I will reward you with dinner and episodes of "Heroes," she says temptingly...

It's quite possible you missed this because you were languishing on your bed of illness, you poor thing.
