bzxxxxxxxxzzzzzzzxxxx!!

i have noticed that the electrical wiring is a bit on the iffy side in my office. and last nite, i almost got electrocuted! it almost happened again this morning, before the lights just completely gave out. [i'm working in semi-darkness right now]. what a trip~ i got flashbacks of sophomore year in college when i was dumb enough to flip the garbage disposal switch with wet hands in an old dorm apartments complex. a good 30-60 seconds of jolting scared the living crap out of me then. phew~ thank goodness i didn't have to go through that again. or else i would have ended up looking like this poor little guy. isn't he cute though? i, however, could live without the shock and the bad hair day.

i don't really care for squirrels much, but this one is adorable, all electrocuted and spazzy looking. speaking of squirrels, how about a squirrel motif on the logo or on the website? squirrels and trees go hand in hand .. hmm .. see, i'm still thinking things through.

this red squirrel is native to the U.K. we don't have these cute ones here in the states. a few weeks ago, i read about how the brits are eating squirrels in order to control the squirrel population. no, they're not eating spazzy the squirrel. they're eating the gray ones [the nasty ones that were introduced to by the americans]. apparently, they are wreaking havoc by running rampant through the isle and terrorizing the parks and other species of squirrels. tsk tsk. americans are so conspicuous when they travel abroad. now it seems our indigenous creatures are mimicking our social behaviors too! except .. ok, and this is kind of sad for the ugly gray american squirrels .. they are paying for their behavior with their lives.
