the new me.

in the past week i have done two things i would never have done in previous incarnations of myself:
1. ran to catch the bus.
i laughed at myself even while i was doing it. the driver looked like a hispanic elvis and was maybe the worst bus driver EVER. (brake, gas, brake, gas. not quite as rhythmic and sensical as i make it sound, however.)
2. ran to the video store to return my dvds.
i used to see this guy running to work every morning in a suit, with a backpack on, and i felt a strange kinship with him while i jogged to Video Lair, holding my movies, then returned them, dappled with sweat.

and on a somber note, the flicker died. he had nuerological damage and puncture wounds and they couldn't save him. my animal track record is now 1-1, with scout happily ensconced elsewhere (with e's parents.) i still say, bring it on, animal kingdom. mess with me and you'll get yourself adopted and shit.
