Today's Theme: I Got Nothing

As the title may suggest, I have nothing. I think that's more grammatically correct, but I just don't know. I'm not very good at grammar. I'm good to grammar though, her face just lights up when I come into town. Anywho, today I feel...um...I'm not sure. Strange. Tired. Not wanting to be at work. Is that a feeling? I'm not sure. I guess that's how I feel though. It's pouring rain. It's dark. I wish I was home in bed and not at work. I have a long day ahead of me too and nothing really to do. I mean, I have things to do: prepare for my comps defense, work on my plans for summer (job, etc.) and attend meetings. But I don't want to do anything. I want to be at home. Most likely I will just continue to watch TV shows over at Hulu.com and not work on anything. It seems like the most prudent course of action.

In other news, I saw the beaver last night! He was swimming around the little pond and we saw him from the shore. He kept swimming for a bit and then he "thwack!" - hit his tail on the water and dived under. He surfaced in a couple of seconds and went back to swimming farther away from us. It was crazy. It was great. It was awesome. So now we have to keep going back and seeing him because that's so cool. Zach and I have also seen a porcupine in real live nature as well. The porcupine was eating as we hiked by him in the early morning and as we got closer he kind of curled himself up more and more into a ball. It was awesome. Also awesome- seeing a real live beaver in nature. I read about beavers on the internet and here are some facts:

1. Beavers are North America's largest rodent.
2. Beavers slap their tails against the water to signal danger or to warn away a predator -which is probably what he was trying to do to us-warn us away.
3. Beavers eat tree bark, roots, buds and other water plants.
4. Beavers are super cute.

Let's see. It's raining.* I saw a beaver. I don't want to be here. Um...yep, I think I've covered pretty much everything. I guess I could add that I'm watching American Gothic on Hulu. I haven't seen that show in a long time, but I did like it. It's scary though. You can also watch Mary Tyler Moore. If they had Murder She Wrote, I'd be set for life. Oh well, a girl can dream.




*For the sake of full disclosure - it's not raining right this moment, but I expect it to start up again real soon.
