Tonight I apparently committed a file to FreeBSD called “mpreg.h”. I figure tumblr is the place to mention that.

4/5 Here is the World’s Most Incompetent Ninja.
He is cleverly disguised as a plant, but has forgotten that plants are, you know, green. And have leaves and roots and stuff. They do not lurk underground as a big fleshy lump. They photosynthesize, not steal nutrients from trees with the aid of evil fungus henchmen.
Once every couple of years he suddenly remembers he is disguised as a plant and better grow something, so he makes this huge bright pink stem with no leaves and a bunch of creepy-looking flowers on top. The goats, who consider things like plastic grocery bags delicious, won’t touch it.
I don’t think the World’s Most Incompetent Ninja has even seen a plant before.
Aaand as we were showing off some of these adorable, incompetent little parasites to a friend yesterday, the goats decided that it was worth eating them if it meant being the center of attention. That’s goats for you.

From the Department of Happy Endings:
Ceren, a Tumblr employee and bird lover who blogs at crankyasshuladancer.tumblr.com, replied to our pigeon woes shortly after I reported them.
crankyasshuladancer said: Actually, there’s a bunch of us that do pigeon rescue. contact me, if this is an actual case - I’ve set wings before.
Pigeon rescue! Who knew. We had assumed, correctly, that animal control would want nothing to do with a common rock dove, but had not considered that private organizations and concerned individuals might be around to do the dirty work of bird repair. I contacted Ceren, she replied, and an hour or so later she was at my Brooklyn apartment, rolling the pigeon around in her hands, dusting it with rubbing alcohol, assessing it as a promising case. She is much-informed about birds and tender towards them, and I learned plenty in her presence. We watched some videos of pigeons called “Parlor Rollers,” tumbling pigeons that are bred to be too heavy to fly. They circulate across the ground like an airport wind-up toy.
Our broken pigeon is currently recuperating in New Jersey. Thanks to Ceren for being the kind of selfless, amazing thing who drives across state lines at one in the morning to save a stricken animal from the elements, from its own stupidity, from any BBs that I might otherwise have dumbly deployed.
Do wish this lovely little pigeon the best, will you? Updates as they come.

Tess can tell when my camera is out-of-focus. She doesn’t know that with a limited palette and too much Photoshop sharpen nobody need ever know.

Usually having some video in the background makes it easier for me to maintain focus while working.
This Indo-Chinese menu in the Top Gear India Special ruins my concentration every time.

A Mongolian horse with stripey legs.
The stripes come from having a parent or grandparent who is a takhi (Przewalski’s horse, which I probably spelled wrong). The only real wild horses are the takhi in Mongolia, everywhere else, wild horses are just tame horses that escaped and bred. Takhi have never been tamed, but they do sometimes mate with domestic horses.
I’ll take a six-pack, please. And a small donkey.
