The Zoo Story

I am proud to announce that my mailbox is currently waiting to be graced with my delicious new copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

On another note, after my birthday visit to the zoo I was posting my photo's and while listing goofy captions to accompany these candid animal portraits, the realization slapped me in the face that they're all media-inspired. Given the nature of this blog, I'm simply flabber-gasted and kind of hurt that sarcasm cannot possibly be effectively conveyed through the written word for its lack of vocal tone. I welcomed myself back from my mini-tangent and figured a photo album would be a lovely addition to demonstrate just how subliminally the media washes over my life and intrudes on virtually every thought that crosses my mind. Enjoy.


"Bella Swan...er, I mean Jacob Black...ok, no, really, Black Swan."
**It will excruciatingly pain me if I have to reveal the source of this ridiculously overrated pop culture reference, speaking of which, a LONG blog is in the works on my experience with the stay-at-home mom turned female "literary" sensation, Stephenie Meyer. You'd be wise to prepare yourself for the impending brutality of it all.


"The Dingo who ate your baby."


"Morla: The Sneezy Tortoise"


"I only have eyes...for you. Shu-bop Shu-bop."


"Don't look now, there's a monkey on your back."


"Eye of the Tiger."


"When I was a young warthog..."



I really agonized over whether or not to reference Kevin, the rainbow-brite-wannabe-chocolate-loving-male-assumed-Mama bird from "Up" but let's face it, she's no peacock, despite their almost identical mating calls. Erego, I have no quote for this but it was really too cool to omit :)


"I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy." (The thumbnail might be a bit small to distinguish but this quote is purely cornrow-inspired.)


"Daniel-san, you all wet behind ear."


"I think you're really beautiful and I feel warm when I'm around you and my tongue swells up."

You catch my drift.
