I want a menagerie when I grow up

Oh man.  I keep laying down at like 5 or 6pm thinking I will wake back up in a few hours and then when I do wake up 9 hours have gone by.  Rude.  I missed yesterday's post because of that.  I have been so unmotivated lately...glad again that I live by myself because if I had a roommate that put off doing the dishes as long as I have, it would really irritate me.  I am reading a really good book right now called The Elephant Keeper...makes me remember all my childhood dreams of wanting to own an elephant and ride her and train her.  I think I was born in the wrong century in the wrong country...I really should have been a mahout.  Google that.  It's my word o' the day.   I can't wait until I get a real pet of my own, (no offense Harmonica, wherever you are) one I can train and cuddle and hold.  Maybe a little Rottweiler, like Carl....
