Pics and few notes to you
Iwon't be able to add as many pics as I would like, but I am posting some of my living quarters and just a few of the many wildlife pics I have. You will all have to spend countless hours looking at them in the future upon my return so I don't wanna burn you out just yet. I've seen baboons-obviously-and vervets (which are very cute). Countless ungulates-impala every day and the rare and elusive sable as well. No rhinos yet, which L claims is very strange, but I think she was just talking up that rhino who hung around camp to make her self sound tough. A rock monitor and lots of spiders and bugs. I did see a dung beetle, but didn't snap a pic as L promises hundred of them very soon. (sorry little J). Helped feed a couple ground hornbills- but you'll have to wait for those pics. The pic of me is me in porcupine camo-see the quills in my hat? Will start composing this damn thing on L's computer during the week so I am not rushed when I get to the internet cafe. Hope all is well on the other side
J-get better
Henley-take care of J
B-Man- good luck with the J.O.B
Sam-love you too-will pick up something cool for him while i am here-hopefully it ain't the hiv.
sean-you're awesome, send me the pics of your costume.
thierra-you better be fucking checkin this thing-I expect a post next week.
Oh-the cat pic is an african black-footed wild cat that is being relocated or something-don't have the whole story on him yet. L and I named him madeye-cuz he's got crazy fuckin eye(obviously). He is awesome and I petted him. Might try to sneak him back, as he is already tame-sadly.
And my address so you can feel free to send me letters and goods:

you may have dung beetles and other animals whose name i cannot even begin to pronounce, but i've got cows bitch!
so anyway, in case you didn't know, i am a fucking care package freak so what do you need? books? music? condoms?! let me know so i can send crafty, personalized things so that rhinos don't take over the place in your brain where memories of your dear pal sam reside...
GODSPEED!
Sounds like you're having an awesome time! And if you see a rhino, you better get a photo! I'm working on a care package as I have found some vegan lip balm.
Have fun and don't let a baboon bite your leg.
Can't wait to come see the little hut that you call home. It looks like I'll be leaving on the 14th and arriving in Johannesburg on the 16th. I don't depart until the 6th. I hope that isn't too long (I don't think it's long enough). Things are going better, so don't you worry about me. I've just been exhausted. Talk to you soon.
I really haven't anything to say that is meaningful, so I thought I might just rant about my recent life (in a list):
-I've developed a spastic twitch in my left eyelid that started about 2 weeks ago and occurs about 5 times a day now...I've determined that I'm either going insane or I've contracted ebola
-I somehow managed to fall UP some stairs in the library in front of numerous people...where the fuck is this so-called gravity?
-I'm trying to limit my daily caffeine intake...it's Day 1...I think I'll commit seppuku tomorrow
-I go to the library every night to study in this little 5 by 5 room, of which half is taken up by a desk...I've found that I can sleep underneath the desk and no one can see me through the small window in the door...that may be a sign in addition to the eye twitching that I'm going insane
-I've made it almost 4 weeks without any one of my ant babies biting me...which is remarkable considering that I pry their homes open every week
-I saw a ring-tailed cat in the ASU parking lot
...aside from my life, what work have you been doing so far? what food are you eating? what's the danger level in the area (ie animals, trolls, ebola)? do you have a peg leg/eye patch yet?

PS--Noodles says hi
One) Sister, I check this thing constantly, so no worries. Things are good here...eeriely so. I'm sure things will go awry soon. Brego misses you and tries to sleep with Brother. Love the photos, keep 'em coming. Everyone asks about you, so your blog has been sent to a million peeps. Dr. S says hey. B) Thunder is freaking killing me with adorableness. He is coming to my bday party this weekend for hopefully some relaxation (wiffle ball and grilled veggies). Love you, miss you. Take care of yourself.
I am so freaking jealous I can hardly breathe. I loved your posts and keep waxing poetic it feels like you are talking. Don't get ebola, or bird flu, or Hepatitis D from those damn dirty monkeys. Love you, Rosie
