(Originally written September 23, 2009)

I spent about an hour in the feeding cage of the big cat department at the zoo yesterday. There were so many things to observe other than the obvious: their living situation, how it was florescent lit, the lack of circulating air. It was a prison more or less. Everything was grey, green and it smelled of meat and shit and hay.

Though being in the presence of these incredible creatures, was something very special, I was standing in the centre of the room surrounded by the largest species of cats...Read more

evian is naive backwards!

Donuts..two dozen assorted dunkin donuts.i mean for myself, anything would be easy so long as it had to do with mass american chain food restaurants. i do not need Ladurée, the Atelier, or Boul...Read more
