tasmanian tigers

thylacines, or tasmanian tigers, are creatures that would haunt your nightmares, if only they weren’t probably extinct. imagine an creature that is rather dog-like with hints of cat, about 5 feet in length, with a very long thick stiff tail that it uses in the same way a kangaroo does, a tiger-striped back end, and rows of razor sharp teeth in a long snout with jaws that can open 120 degrees. oh, and it’s a MARSUPIAL. freaky, huh?? this photo is not retouched. i just watched a little quicktime movie that was taken in 1933 at the hobart zoo in tasmania, and now i’m feeling all uneasy. i think it’s the jaw action that freaks me out most of all.

i have the blahs

i just feel fried. i really want to write a nice long clever witty post, because i’ve been reading lots of good writing lately. i think i don’t have it in me right now. i don’t know how people who work 2 jobs do it. i feel like such a baby for saying that too. i’m tired, and it’s all i can do to not run out and get takeout for every meal. i haven’t been to yoga class in weeks. i’m trying to go running a couple times a week, and i do go to swim class and walk at least 1 mile per day when i take the bus and train to work. but it’s a far cry from my 5x week exercise routine. right now it’s only 9:45 pm and i’m going to just go crawl into bed and watch tv. maybe i just need a night of nothing… tv and rest and turning off the brain. we’ll see.
