Keep with me, forward on through the night


First, this song is my fucking jam right now:

I appreciate that this kind of music isn't for everyone. But there are so many solid lines in here. Aesop Rock has never been very clever, just a good storyteller. But I really love this song.

On to actual pictures. There are a LOT. I haven't been out to take photos in awhile. There's, like, one additional sentence after all of the pictures. I can't blame you for not sticking around for any of this nonsense.

 The newest exhibit at the zoo! I had no idea that handheld tools weren't pack animals! Isn't it majestic??

 I wish this hadn't turned out to be so crooked. I really loved this building. It looks like a yacht to me, and it seemed so warm.
 There was nobody out on this lovely little patio, and the empty bike rack seemed like the saddest thing. The lights twinkled only for me. Poor, empty bike rack.
 See what I mean? Bereft of patrons. It was so beautiful, though. Beautiful and quiet. I appreciated it while I was there.
 Goofy ass giraffe. I laughed so hard when I reviewed this photo. I didn't even know I captured those teeth until I was doing post.
 Such a gorgeous little fish! I had so much fun at the aquarium, even when I got fucking blasted by the flash flood simulator that I didn't know existed until I was soaking wet. And then I screamed. Loud.

Oh, well hello, moon jellyfish! You're beautiful and delightful.

 This looks fake. It's not taxidermy, though. That is really real sky, and a for real meerkat.

 Isn't he such a fetching critter? WHAT A MODEL.

 He was not impressed by my photographer shenanigans. Jerk.

 Classy as a mother fucker. These new things in the reptile house really are quite stunning.

 Oh my garsh, he's the fluffiest kestral! And his name is Marty McFly! I wanted to pet him. The zookeeper said no, because she clearly hates freedom.

"Fuck you." he seemed to say.
 The cranes are getting dolled up for a night in the logs.

 This was easily my favorite photo from my two excursions. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite photos ever. The ISO is way, way too high, so it's grainy, but that kind of adds to it. I felt so sad and lonely when I took the picture. I hope that's how it looks.

 I wish I had prepared for this shot better, but a new camera presents problems in that arena. It was actually dusk when I took this photo, and I wish I had taken a photo that was a better representative of what it actually looked like. Oops.
 After I took this photo, a bicycle cart fellow came up to me and asked if I got the shot, then demanded to see it. Then he yammered about photography for a solid five minutes while I took pictures of his very jovial face, and his collection of stubbly chins.
Just a building. Like ya do.

I just pre-ordered a signed copy of Michio Kaku's new book. And I am SO fucking excited to get it.

I don't know when I'll blog again. I'm just kind of running through the motions here, blogging for a sense of normalcy.
