Do you like big pictures of turtles? *edit

When I woke up at 3am last night (after I wrote the last entry) I started reading All Quiet on the Western Front again. Bad idea. A long description of screaming horses isn’t exactly a dang lullaby. I’m re-reading Breakfast of Champions instead.

Work today was SO BORING. I tried for 2 hours or so to start a fire with no success. I am good at burning newspaper but that’s about it. I also read some and listened to a lot of NPR (luckily they have good Sunday afternoon programming). One couple came in and kept asking me stuff about rentals for a wedding reception or something. We do do rentals but I don’t know anything about it, but she KEPT ASKING QUESTIONS despite telling her I didn’t know anything about it.

The phone didn’t ring at all the entire day. I brought my camera with me, and the most exciting thing that happened today was a fashion photo shoot of Sally the turtle. I didn’t teach her how to give me a high-five, but I did teach her to be FIIIEEERRRCEEE. Pictures:

She kept giving me profile shots:

Usually when we let her loose in the gift shop she hides in/awkwardly peeks out of a rolled up poster we leave on the floor.

She likes to show off her curves:

and finally, the grand finale… A BOOTY SHOT.

Like I said, I was pretty bored today. I spent a long time designing a note, which pretty much documents Sally the turtle’s crappy weekend in bright colors. Here’s the note:

I am also working on my “HELLO I WOULD BE PLEASED TO TAKE YOUR PHONE CALL” face. It’s a work in progress/maybe a little too sarcastic:

I don’t really have any other exciting news to report and am not really in a writing mood. Bah!

*Edit: I usually like sharing things that I think are interesting with other people. If you have an hour or so you should listen to this and agree with me about how interesting it is: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=88
