Two things that I believe say a lot about me as a person. One, I went out to the dumpster yesterday to take the trash out and noticed one of the bags in the nearest one...moving. Not just moving, really moving. I immediately walk up close enough to figure out it's a squirrel that has somehow gotten caught in a trash bag. I start giggling and then cooing to it, "Ok, ok, I'll get you out of there." Meanwhile it's freaking out and I'm having a heckuva time figuring out where the hole is. Finally I do and lift the bag sufficiently for the squirrel to get out. It races out, pauses just long enough to glance back at me, then took off. I couldn't stop laughing. I am apparently fated to have weird encounters with squirrels...and I kinda like it.

Second, my new favorite tv show is "Monsters Inside Me", an Animal Planet series on deadly parasites. I took a course on parasitology in college and was absolutely fascinated. I know the show is probably supposed to gross viewers out but I just think it's incredibly cool. Especially the brain eating parasites like the rat lung worm. I could watch this show all day!
