Zoos and Zombies
Posted by: Justin In: I have good taste| PSA| Stupid Powerball still hasn't paid off
Just wanted to share a couple quick bits, in case the two Mr. Show episodes just weren’t enough for today…
Can’t remember if I mentioned this before and I’m too lazy to look through the posts from earlier in the week, but this last weekend was the first one I’ve had completely off in about a month or so. Didn’t even have to think about work.
Except that I did. Kinda. Have to think about it, I mean.
We went to the Oregon Zoo on Saturday before The Boy’s Sound of Music performance. A very well-known software company had a Customer Appreciation Day and, since my company happens to be a customer, they footed the bill for us chumps to bring our families in for the day. As Aaron mentioned when I told him about it:
Aaron: So that must be why a single-user license is like $8.2 billion.
me: That’s right. So I can watch monkeys throw poo. Part of the circle of life.
So, yeah, I mean I wasn’t working, didn’t even have to sit through any vendor-related shit, but there was still that association in the back of my head… that I was at the zoo because of work. But they did cover admission, lunch, goody bags for the kids, and zoo train tickets, so it was still a pretty good day.
And here’s the requisite Picture of Her Highness at the Zoo:
Probably can’t tell from the grumpy look on her face, but she did have fun. And this particular picture was her idea. Like we were walking by when she ran back to the bench and insisted I take her picture.
And I did.
Because I do everything she asks. Because she’s sweet. And because I want her to put me in a good home some day instead of just shipping me off to the same glue factory I’m sending my own mum to in the not so distant future.
Which totally doesn’t lead at all into zombies. (Segues and me are like metaphors and me. And similes and me. And clear prose that makes any kind of sense whatsoever and me. Whatever.)
Not just zombies, no… Zombies Fighting Sharks! As in, ZombieFightsShark.blogspot.com, Our Hero’s newest favorite blog. I know precisely two things about the guy who runs it (Clinton): he escaped from Texas and he writes funny, funny stuff. You should go there now.
Seriously. Go. Fly, my pretties, fly!
