Dude, that story makes me think of when I went to the Wild Animal Park out here and got to see their bonobos. I think there was a collective gasp of self-recognition when one of the bonobos grabbed a piece of cardboard, pulled it into the shade of a tree, and reclined on it with his hands behind his head. It was awesome. Almost made me want to study biological anthro.

I'm going a little crazy out here. Have to do some serious revisions of my thesis that are simultaneously exciting and totally overwhelming. Almost to the point of praying that I make it through. But my roommate is good at keeping me sane. I also seem to be causing some drama among my friends. oops. Life goes on.
