Top of the Morning!

This may be my first ever morning post. That is, morning over here, extreme morning over there in the real world.

I took my contacts out last night and my eyes burnt like fire. I don’t know why, but I think I’ve been using this pair of two-week contacts for over a month. I threw them away and decided to just wear my glasses today in order to give my eyes time to be eyes again instead of docking ports for soft plastic disks which, now that I think about it, turn me into something of a cyborg, or a human enhanced by something not human. Yes, I am a cyborg. But not today.

I forgot to tell you about the crayon party a few nights ago. Yes, we all decided it wasn’t such a bad idea after all, and we spent a night inside with (regrettably, instead of crayons) markers and drew to our heart’s content. I think it was much to everyone’s liking.

Today I need to finish an essay for my architecture class on the Natural History Museum by Alfred Waterhouse. It probably won’t be a very exciting day. But I should probably go visit it at some point today also so I can supplement my essay with cool pictures of it. Did you know there are sculptures of pterodactyls and other crazy wildlife all over the building? I bet you didn’t. And the original building was constructed with a statue of Adam on the top spire, indicating that Man was the height of creation, but the sculpture either fell or was pushed off during WWII. And the plot thickens.

Here's a picture of the shadow of part of my gumball tree on my curtains. I thought it looked like a bat. Or a pterodactyl.

  1. Is a pterodactyl one of those prehistoric flying birds that were revitalized in Jurassic Park? If so, I agree, watch out for falling (debris?)

  2. Yes, that's a pterodactyl! Doesn't it look like one?
