they came from the inside of the television screen;

We've added another body to the household, nineteen-year-old Tinos, Charlotte's brother, who'll be staying here for the next two weeks, and then he flies back to Germany. I'll barely get to see the kid, since I'll probably be gone working for most of that, but we might get to take some cool trips! And it turns out that Charlotte's never seen the Phoenix Zoo and she's never been to Sedona--stuff we oughtta fix before she heads home.

Dropping [livejournal.com profile] polychromatic. Yesterday my dad told me I'd probably have two days off from now until the 27th, and one of those days is today. And then my Biology class starts. I'll have to arrange my availability at GameStop so that I'll still be able to work for my dad and go to school. So I've got to make all those phone calls today, not to mention finally do the goddamn post office and also drop the game I checked out back at GameStop. It's my only chance!

My dad is quick to point out that while he was in school, he worked full time for his father while he also had another part time job on the side. He seems to think it's a good system! We'll see.

Oh, and sorry if the Twittering is annoying, but I love that thing. Especially when I don't have time to check the Internet and see how everyone's doing.

Believe me, of all the Twitters I get from my Flist? Yours are the best.

Well, it's good to know that the absurd details of my life are at least a little entertaining!

Screw your Twitters. I pay no attention whatsoever, honestly, you must've noticed. Is the Phoenix Zoo cool?

I did. I totally, totally did.

It is! It's a good sized zoo, and you can see the giraffes from really far away. I have gone hiking in the mountains around Phoenix and had someone go, "Look! Giraffes."

And, after running into a couple of snakes back to back while working and becoming paranoid, I used the zoo to closely study the differences between harmless snakes and rattlesnakes.

It sounds like a fun trip! It must be taken.

They have other cool stuff, too, but I can't remember. Clearly, I need to go again! It's been about two years...

It does! I think it had one who painted pictures that sold, but she died.

Cool. She's pretty famous!
