zooooooooo

Went to the Minnesota Zoo last night with RhesusMonkey for the member's preview night of the new lemur exhibit. Lemurs are sooo cute! It's gonna be a few days before any pictures can go up because I won't have Chiana back until tonight or tomorrow.
They had food there, and it was yummy. And we got to see the Imax film "Bugs" and it was kind of creepy. It's in 3D and many children started crying and screaming after seeing a GIGANTIC Imax sized praying mantis bite the head off of a fly!
I also saw Ross Taylor who was the zookeeper in charge of the Arctic Foxes back in the summer of '87 when I studied them at the MNZoo's summer ZooSchool. I don't think he remembered me. I asked about the pregnant Mexican Wolf, and learned that she had a litter of 8 pups, but only 2 survived because she had them in a makeshift den instead of the nice safe artificial den. :(
But still, when your worldwide numbers are less than 350, 2 puppies are WAY better than none!

She's baaaa-aaaack

Yay! I picked Chiana up at Southdale this evening! She's cruising along at a nice healthy 512MB now!
I'm also trying to catch up on LJ after a couple days of just quick skimming during lunch. Damn, y'all are a prolific lot! I'm currently at skip=140.

The TV Guide Cult TV list:

5. Monty Python's Flying Circus

Nifty map that I took from Hellbob. I have more east/south filled in than him, being as how I was born in New York, and also went to the International Science Fair in Knoxville, TN and did Nat'l Guard basic & AIT down south.
And, as with Mr. hellbob, it won't be entirely accurate until next Friday when we are actually in Washington!
