zoo field trip
on saturday, egg, rian & i went to the franklin park zoo. it was half price before noon, but we ended up arriving at 12:05 due to complications [ana r!]. oh well.
anyway, it was a fun time. so many animals! including the cutest baby gorilla you ever did see.
waiting for the bus is taxing on egg's & rian's nerves
egg observes these bones with her discerning archaeologist's eye
hay i'm a lion
clifton had this to say about our zoo trip:
"OH 80 degrees in a space that’s filled with animal shit
OH waking up at 10am on Saturday
OH 10 bucks to see a sheep
GREAT IDEA"
the sheep were very sad that he didn't come to see them
rian crawls through a tube
zebras mooned us
some kids decided it looked like the toys "r" us giraffe and kept calling it geoffrey
the best for last: gorillas!
at one point the baby crawled into its mom's lap and they hugged. ^__________^

laundry adventures
after brushing the ants off my pant[ie]s, i heaved my laundry bag over my shoulder, and headed downstairs, 7 quarters in my pocket [1 for good luck] and laundry detergent in hand.
i loaded my clothes into the machines, poured in the detergent, then starting inserting my quarters. but despite the number of quarters i sacrificed, the machine still said i owed $0.75.
fortunately tall dan was also doing laundry, and he offered me a quarter of his own to see if it would help knock the other quarters down. it didn't. so i asked if he had a bobby pin, but the best he could do was a pen, which was too fat to stick in the slot, though i tried anyway.
i moved my clothes to another machine, and with his donation of $0.50, got the laundry process started.
and then i remembered i was wearing a bobby pin in my hair, so i could just use that to launch my assault on the machine. i wiggled it around, poked and prodded, peering into the shadows. eventually, after much frustration, i unjammed the jam, and liberated $3 in quarters from the machine.
minus twenty-five cents because i got greedy and wanted to see if i could get any more out/test if the machine was working now. but i will just consider that my kind-hearted donation to the next person who does laundry on that machine.
