Be Free, Moe! Be Free!!!

So Moe the Chimp, Covina's Pride and Joy, has escaped into the wild. You know why? Because he's freaking awesome! Okay, so he bit off a couple fingers. And before "Free Moe" meant bring Moe back home to his owner in Covina, but Moe has gone and seriously redefined "Free Moe!" Here's the article...

anti-car

nobody@vox.com(L.E.) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:35:35 -0700

So I've decided not to drive for two weeks. This is a difficult task as the nearest sidewalk from my house is no less than a mile away. Right now I'm on day three and I'm going to try to keep this up for at least two weeks total. Compared to my last 23 weeks of nothing but school and work, I have relatively nothing to do for these two weeks and three associate's degrees to prove that I deserve a two week break to do a whole lot of whatever-the-random-f*ck I want. So anti-car it is! I've been skateboarding, walking, taking the bus, and bumming rides. Well, I've gotten a ride home from a friend and right now I'm reduced to hobbling around like a penguin since my leg is sore from pushing on the skateboard. (Ohhhh you should see my foot blister! It's so gross a huge!) The heat doesn't bother me too much; I think that I don't feel heat, just the effects of the heat. It's weird.

Well, actually I realized I have more work than I knew I had before. I thought all I would have to do is show up for an orientation on marquees tomorrow morning but apparently I have 3 additional orientation meetings for my summer assignment, one of these meetings was yesterday which I found out about 3 hours before the meeting, as I stood drenching in sweat and red-faced before my boss, handing in my timesheet. Luckily, I have friends around town to steal clean shirts from.

And I promise I'm not just staying at home to avoid using my car. That would be way too easy. I'm planning on having a "destination" everyday to walk/skateboard to. That should take care of the 15 pounds I lost and then gained back in the past 6 months.

One of the fun things is noticing all the different birds around. And there's a lot of freaking birds! I recognize them but I don't always know the names of them off hand.. I just know I saw them before in bio 2 lab and I probably drew them on my posters of birds and their taxonomy order names. :-/ On Sunday I waded through Walnut Creek and got some nasty bites. Normally I wouldn't care but now that I know the biology of everything that can kill me, it's a little scary. Also, Kahler-Russel Park tested positive for West Nile Virus!!! Ohhh shit.

And I wanna know how many things Michael D. Antonovich has named himself after.

I found a shortcut through my neighborhood today going through the wilderness park to the wash. I found some ducks duckin' around in the wash :)

Okay, here's an impromptu poem resulting from my brain exploding:

i think my brain overheated.

excavata chromalveolata deuteromycota
feminist prostitutes
and pulling a garibaldi
consonance, assonance, masculine rhyme
bonobos and lambskin
broken hearted lesbians

i am not an amoeba.

paul zindel and dear mr.

henshaw
Somali and Margaret Mead
Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints
and unibrows
and waxing and shaving and testosterone means high libido
which i can't ever pronounce right

college students love potlucks
free pens and free condoms and free candy
and free paychecks
and free jobs
and free desert iguanas

my favorite: pinecone sex
and rat testicles
fallopian tubes, vas diferens
unethical usage of cellular phones
and legal amyl nitrite inhalation
anal sphincter dilation
pseudonyms

kinky lizard fetish
tea
polyandry
single mother of eleven
i'm getting tired of the days when the english language makes me sound better than you
and how it makes lies possible
i'd rather not explain veganism
i'd rather not discuss lithium
i'd rather not know the anatomy of the exile of tomatoes
proteobacteria, salmonella, bacilla, diarrhea
i'd rather not discuss, in unnecessary detail, the current processes of my immune system as i feel myself getting a fever
b cells and t cells, b vitamins and tijuana
let's go and stay up for three days in a row, again
i just realized the feeling
"what the fuck am i doing
in covina?"
hardly living

One more week until the Spring semester is over. I am dying. But I found a trailhead for Walnut Creek Wilderness Park near my house so I will have lots of fun adventures in there this summer! Can't wait. Expect pictures.

Prospective grades:

Biological Anthropology: A

Plant and Animal Biology: C

Biology: Human Sexuality: A

Creative Writing- Poetry: A

Philosophy/Critical Thinking and Writing; A

Cultural Anthropology: B (or A if I can pull of extra credit)

Developmental Psychology: B (grrrr maybe I can get an A my professor is weird)

Psychology of Drug and Alcohol Addiction: A

Right now I am slugging through my 5-page paper on vegetarianism that's due tonight for my Philosophy class. But I have work from 5:30-9 pm. Oh, and it's my dad's birthday.

Grrrr.

This weekend I have to write my Poetry paper, complete a written Exam for Psych of Addiction, and well.. take over the world. I really want to exercise but I seriously have no time and I'm getting fatter by the second and the fact that I'm drinking soy milk out of a carton isn't helping right now.

baby bird, wake up it is day

Our entire lab in Bio 2 today was on Aves. I dissected a pigeon. It was a boy pigeon. He had eaten some seeds before he died that were still undigested in his throat. I wish I had my camera today!!!

i worked for Target when i was 17 for about 5 months in 2005. There's a class action lawsuit for personal holiday time that I just got mailed about and apparently if the lawsuit rules infavor of whoever "wong" is, I get "at least $5". Sweet.

Anyways, I'm going to attach a song by Chronic Future called "Flight of the Birds" 'cause I had it stuck in my head during the entire lab.

Oh, PS I got a horrid 79 on my last exam. 1 point away from a B!

Well, I should be studying my ass off. But I think I will go get some study snacks and blow Animalia out of the water starting at around... 9:58 PM... and it'll continue on into Sunday for sure! But right now, it's time for funny things I found on the internet courtesy my streak of having way too much free time... (pictures were found on swfchan.com)...

I set up my broken macbook so that the display shows on my television. Now I am video chatting with my brother who is sitting in the room that is directly next to the room next to me. Isn't it wonderful how technology brings us together?
